Fully agreed we need a beast and a Jefe. Don’t agree fuck Romero though. He’d be an incredible combo with a CB like that. Especially in Ange’s high line.
If you really watch Romero on the ball, you can’t give up on a CB talent like that.

But finding that dominant leader, with a left foot? They need to scout their bollox off and then pay what it takes if they are sure. Not move on to the 2nd or 3rd option.

More than happy with 20m on Hatate for the 8, if it means they get the top target CB at whatever it takes to get them

We don't need Hatate, we need HG talent. I'd rather we spend that 20 mil on one (or two) promising English kids who've already got 1st team experience in even the Champo

First, Schlotty is a leftie whereas Lacroix is right-footed.

Both young but decent experience already...circa 100 top flight games each, plus Schlotty's now playing regularly for Germany.

Both tall, both solid in duels...Lacroix probably the more robust one of the two but not by much.

Schlotty scores a decent amount of goals and gets good assists for a defender...4 and 5 respectively that season just gone. Lacroix got just the one goal but he played like 10 fewer games cause of injury.

About injuries, bar the bad one he had to his shoulder this season, Lacroix is usually always fit. On the other hand, Schlotty has had a fair few muscle injuries, so that's a concern.

Verdict:

- Both would be decent signings on paper, but not the absolute beast we desperately need (even if we keep Romero)

- Schlotty plays for Dortmund, they're in the CL...he'd cost like 50 or 60 mil and I don't think he'd move to the PL for us. Not sure I'd want him anyway...feels like the new Mertesacker...

- Lacroix would be cheaper (30 mil ish) cause he's been injured and he plays for a smaller team, he'd defo be keen on joining us I reckon...but I'd pass

Thanks for such a comprehensive review. I’d read good things about both a couple of years ago but lost touch of their form.

I’d love a strong and quick CB to play alongside Romero.

There are better options that might cost less IMO.

Eze for a start.

Getting Raya in as HG helps the decision-making pressure as well.

It's all guesswork from us but as good as Maddison is, it just doesn't have the gut feel of being what Postecoglou needs.

Will say this though, Kane would be encouraged by Maddison arriving.

If the news that Kane wants Maguire is true, I’m selling him yesterday.

We cannot cater to him like this.
