Such as shame we couldn't recruit a solid CB this window to improve on the lads at the back. Could prove very costly if we continue to have the calamities in defense we've all seen for far too long now.

I do however think when all is said and done that football has changed dramatically over the last decade and with the exception of Serie A, there aren't many of the more traditional type CB's out there anymore. So aside from our failed approach for VVD, who could we have realistically brought in that would be a significant improvement on what's already in place?

With Can and Coutinho still with us and the addition of AOC, are we likely to see Can used back in the CB position?

No, we aren't, he is not a CB.

We also won't see AOC playing in goal, just to clear that up, in case there was any confusion. Oh and Moreno won't be Manager either.

GF, Can is useless at CB as that experiment failed miserably under BR so why do that again when we have a true CB in Gomez ready to go? Also, Ed01 has sad that class CB's are very rare these days hence, teams who have them don't wanna sell and those who need them have to either pay up or improvise. City have spent near 200m on CB's alone and they are still crap defensively. Klopp wanted VVD and since he messed it up all on his own, Saints wouldn't sell at any price to anyone. What can you do? Klopp wanted VVD or nobody and I like that as we will not just settle for a warm body at CB. Now we will have to continue with improving those we have at the club now who mind you, have kept 7 clea sheets in the last 9 games in the PL BUT if people wanna go on and on about it then so be it.
