New defender

[Cropwellfox]

Vestergaard has had a really good past 12 months and clearly wants a move or would have signed the new deal on offer. If we could offset this fee by selling Praet and Ghezzal there may still be a shout of a loan for a RW.

Happy with this, knows the league, has played with Kasper and Bertrand.

 

Plus he's super tall, can see him being our Jonny Evans replacement in the future.

[Goober]

Would be happy with either of them at the right price

Do we need both one will do with Evans coming back?

[turlo]

Would be happy with either. both got plenty of EPL experience and commanding in the air which would strengthen us at defending set pieces. Sounds like Vestergaard would be the easier and cheaper of the two deals to do

If it's between Tarkowski (£20m) or Vestergard (£15m), who would people go for?

Be pointless paying that much for a player with a year left on his contract. Same with Tarkowski as well. Stick it out for a few months and try with Amartey and Benkovic.

When you consider Swiss Ramble  https://twitter.com/SwissRamble/status/1409401715720437762 estimates Europa League football is worth from 18m to 40m (The 40m is if you win it).

 

It could be and expensive gamble if we finish 8th, that's without thinking about PL prize money. 

 

So thats the point.

Tough one, for me Verstergard as he helps more with are defending corners issue.

Hmm Vestergard I think. Gives us height and Southampton at least play ball. Tarkowski is a battler but I would worry he’s been shoe horned into Dycheball for so long that he’d need some time to adapt. Also we have Cags who is a better Tarkowski imo.

Surely our recruitment team (being excellent BTW) can come up with more cost effective alternatives other than Vestergaard and Tarkowski every frigging window?

They would have extensive scouting reports on both though, and with Wes out for a long time, along with Jonny being of questionable reliability now, surely it’s best to go for a safer bet?

This is a good point. Both know the Premier League extremely well and would need no real bedding in period compared to some of the other names linked. You know exactly what you are going to get from both. Without Fofana injury, we probably could have gone for a more "unknown/unproven" CB, but with Evans a big ?, we really need a player to come in and be ready from the off.

Tarkowski for me

Tarkowski is the better player, Vestergaard Likely to fit in quicker (Bertrand and Kasper links). That's how I see it.

Agreed, Vestergaard also probably happy to be a rotation option when Little Wes and Evans are back. Can’t see Tarks being happy to play that role.

[whoareyaaa]

What about Kurt Zouma .. Chelsea want 25m apparently West Ham was interested 

[STUHILL]

Interesting read.

We could return for Liam Moore? Nice goal against Stoke yesterday. 

[mozartfox]

We could ask Daks to tap up Max Wober at RBS.

Remember when Ian Andrews - former player and coach - was registered as a player (he must have been ancient) as we had a goalkeeper crisis? I think he got on the bench in the early 2000s… shame we can’t do something like that!

Kolo Toure? 

[Guest Chocolate Teapot]

Mason Holgate is available for 15m apparently. Always rated him whenever I've seen him. Rapid too.

Please can we stop mentioning Liam Moore. We are a top 5 club FFS
