Hi Eds,

Been doing some regarding of posts today, and noticed a thread about Van Dijk's form, and how he's struggled since coming back from his injury.

My question is, is there any current centre-back that could eventually replace him? Who would you pick as his successor?

Cheers.

{Ed001's Note - if I could sign anyone I would sign Saliba, it is no coincidence that Arsenal look 100 times better this season with him at the back. The lad is a Rolls-Royce who carried Fofana and made him look good enough for Leicester to sign and now Chelsea to think there is a world record fee defender in there, even though Fofana is not a good defender. Saliba is the best young defender I have seen in years.}

WOW Ed, we should keep an eye out for this Saliba them, Matip and big Virg won't be around for ever .
Konate needs to go straight into the side when fit, Matip is injury prone and Gomez needs too many games to get match fit for me . he was poor V United .

{Ed001's Note - fantastic player mate, Arsenal struck gold and then wasted 2 seasons of him out on loan.}

Man City put four past Bournemouth two weeks ago, is it asking too much for "HALF" of that and a clean sheet.

Even up the ARSEnal put three past them last week.

Steven Gerrard lost 2-0 to them on the opening day of the prem, Aston "VANILLA" were well licked? (no innuendo please)
