New defender

Recommended Posts

Ake on loan would be nice but doubt Man City would go with that.

Lenglet, haven't seen much of him but thought he's done ok up until recently... perhaps a solid choice if we can make it work but wages could be an issue.

Cahill makes most sense, need an older figure to support the younger defenders... chances are he may not feature much, but he is dependable if called upon.

Tarkowski, can't see Burnley letting him go now.

Kabak, wages an issue, didn't set the world alight at Liverpool.. maybe do a job.

 

Difficult one, but hope club act quickly whilst not being reactive in a bad sense.

Sill think we could need two if Evan is a way off.

Can't see Southampton wanting to lose him and Ings in one window.

I know, but too me he would be ideal

I really am sure the club will have a list of potential targets that will now be worked on urgently due to Wes's injury.  It is fun for us to play the who is coming game.  I am sure we will soon find out with the season soon to be upon us. Would not be surprised it/the will be players none of us have mentioned.

Signing 2 CB’s seems unlikely. Negotiating for just 1 player is difficult at the best of times & now teams/agents will know we’re desperate. 

I think what we will do is sign someone like Kabak this summer, keeping Amartey,  Benkovic & Nelson as cover & then re-assessing the situation in January. 


Maybe we will try get Tarkowski on the cheap with 6 months left on his contract. Ideally we could just wait to sign him for free, but can see us needing some reinforcements.

Why have our fans after 3 years suddenly started claiming that Soyuncu is left footed? 

Same ones that think Danny ings for 30m is a great signing.

Mangala is a free agent

Yep.  There is a reason for that.

Current free agents centre backs:

 

Nikola Maksimovic (29) - 27 appearances in all comps for Napoli

 

Jerome Boateng - (32) - 39 appearances in all comps for Bayern Munich

 

Nicolas N'Koulou (31) - 20 appearances in all comps for Sampdoria - We were linked in 2020

 

David Luiz (34) - 30 appearances in all comps for Arsenal

 

Eliaquim Mangala (30) - 10 appearances in all comps for Valencia

 

Shkrodan Mustafi (29) - 22 appearances in all comps for Schalke & Arsenal

 

Gary Cahill (35) - 21 appearances in all comps for Crystal Palace

 

There are others but I have picked out the ones that are probably the most recognisable

I was thinking this but with Ings leaving, not sure they will want to lose Vestergaard cheap, even if his contract is up next summer.

The Arsenal fans would be beyond unbearable if they signed Maddison and we signed either Luiz or Mustafi. Cahill wouldn't be first choice but could be a decent leader until we get Evans back. Boateng is good but his wage demands would be disgusting.

I'd take Maksimovic. Affordable wages, and still in his prime. No brainer.

Been linked with Nkoulou even more recently haven’t we?

Has Malang Sarr been sold or gone back on loan again this summer? 

thats what i was wondering, i cant see him getting in their starting 11 or even the bench, so another loan is more than likely on the card and i think hed be decent for us too

My preference would be Kurt Zouma (if the price was right). I know he's had some dodgy moments but I think he would be great here. I still think he's got the potential to be outstanding.
