Not saying it's true, but Liverpool's Van Djik deal really shows how much a top top centre back can transform a defence.

He made everyone look better almost immediately, and god knows our defence needs some sorting.

Van Dyke is a different pony. Koulibaly hasn't got the same qualities as a leader. I was pretty disappointed with him under the 2018 World Cup. On paper Senegal had a good team (besides of the goalkeeper), but he didn't spur them on.
 
Poch was already here.



Best defense in the league 2yrs running.
Yep.

Until we lost Wanyama and Dembele declined.
We also had the best full backs in the league, too.
:harrysmile:
Just stop it lads... Whenever I get reminded that that squad couldn't win anything it almost makes me cry. Just criminal. Especially since they were the last 2 seasons at The Lane...
 
What do our Bundesliga watchers ( todd1882 todd1882 etc ) think of Suat Serdar 22yo Schalke Cm?

not seen much of him at all but looks a lively and tenacious sort?
 

I know Vidal’s 32 and not a long term solution, but $16~17 million is a steal for a player of his quality (Wanyama is around $14 mil as of today per transfermarkt.us). Vidal can definitely strengthen our middle for the rest of the season and possibly provide more for a season or two. He’s clearly a better option in my mind compared to Matic or Fellaini if what Mourinho wants is an immediate fusion of an experienced player in the middle.

Is he the type of player to do DM in a double pivot though? I don't think we would cast him as another box-to-box signing if our record transfer Ndombele is still in our plans.

Also he's on 175k (euro) pw, which is quite steep for an aging short term solution.

I'm not doubting he could add something to our midfield, but I'm hesitating about wether him & Spurs is the ideal combo at this time

DMs please or no thanks.
 
I hope not. That would set us back £70m and for that amount I'd rather buy a RB and LB. If we tweak other positions I think our CBs are good enough, and there are a lot of options: Toby, Vertonghen, Foyth, Sanchez, Dier and Tanganga
He’d be an excellent signing. And I’d suggest Verts is now a left back. Mourinho likes a big handy bastard at full back (see Ivanovic for this). As for Foyth, unproven, as is Tanganga. Sanchez has a massive brain fart in him and Dier isnt exactly recapturing his form of a few years back.

Disregarding the flukey smackhead Leicester team, league winners have two very strong CBs. We don’t at present.
