Any interest in CBs ed? Sule from hoffenhiem looks a beast, Villarreal also have mussachio as a cheaper option. Both like to play football and would suit the style klopp has implicated, both slow though.

{Ed001's Note - this has been discussed mate, we are looking at a couple, including an ex-Man City cb now in Germany, but it is not likely anyone will be incoming in that position this summer unless someone leaves.}

Isn't Niklas Sule off to Bayern Munich in the summer? We have our own CB surplus Sakho to offload still and have Gomez on the bench.

Sule is joining Bayern next season. Scratch him off the list.

Sule's moving to Bayern at the end of the season (as is Rudy from Hoffenheim, as a by-the-by) .

Lovren is getting a new contract and I don't see a slot for a new CB.

Sakho will be leaving though, so there will be a place.

Cant see a new centre back not being bought. Lovren suffers too many injuries and we need someone as good as Matip to have a partnership as good as any in the league.

Sakho was replaced by Klavan while Gomez is the 4th choice CB at the club.

Ed001 "this has been discussed mate, we are looking at a couple, including an ex-Man City cb now in Germany"

Are you referring to Matija Nastasic? I hopes he improved if so.

{Ed001's Note - yes and he has.}

Ed001 tell me you mean Jerome Boateng!

{Ed001's Note - nope.}

I believe that the CB referred to by Ed001 is Nastasic; we showed interest in him prior to his move to Schale.

I thought klavan was bought to replace, skrtel/ toure.

{Ed001's Note - no, he was bought to replace Sakho. Gomez is the replacement for Skrtel. Toure's replacement at the back is Lucas.}

If that's the case, aren't we resigned to losing Lucas which in turn would mean we need another CB. It's clearly obvious we do need a defender to anyone who watches football.

To be fair Decimus, Ed002 has repeatedly said that if Lucas is sold we will probably look to replace him with a similar player; ie a defensive player who can cover in midfield or defence.

I appreciate mk, but that isn't going to solve anything defensively and what worries me is if we have 10-15 extra games next year the squad will be stretched and we are only talking about replacing players not adding to the squad to help with rigourous fixtures, look at united now there struggling with there squad and it dwarfs ours.

Ed01
Do you watch enough Bundesliga to provide us with a quality perspective on Nastasic?
Only watch Bundesliga highlights on ITV but looks good from what I've, seen however that would be classed as MOTD fever.

{Ed001's Note - no mate, only watch a game here and there when I can. Not enough to get a really good opinion of him.}

At the end of the day Agger, he won't be tested in Germany to the level where he can be adequately assessed.
The premier league is the most hectic physically challenging league in the world. He might look good in Germany where it's illegal for the ball to go above waist height. Not the same facing WBA with the ball being constantly lobbed into the stratosphere.
