Good morning ed1. I see u have said we need a cb in summer, and I agree 100%. a top class 1 at that. Going over list provided by ed2 of who we've showed interest in or who is available there's nobody that jumps out to me who really is top class, in saying that I know v little about some of the lads on it.
This lad at sporting seems to be gathering pace, left footed seemingly which we could do with.
What do u make of him? Who do u think we likely to sign in that position? I'm sure we will sign 1 over summer.

{Ed001's Note - I have not seen Ignacio play, sorry. Not that I can remember anyway. I think it is most likely, despite how often Gvardiol begs for us to sign him (which he has been doing since he was about 12!) that we end up with someone like Ndicka. Personally I would go all in on Gvardiol first and foremost, selling van Dijk to raise funds and save wages for his signing.}

Ed001,who do you think might be interested in VVD now for the hefty price we'd surely still be looking for him?

{Ed001's Note - that is a very good question, I would suggest we would probably have to ask for less than we might hope. If the price was reasonable I would think there would be a number of teams around that would have interest in him.}

With Vvd being done I can’t imagine many clubs being interested in him. Klopps going to end up being stuck with starting him every week.

Stuck with having to start Van Dijk every week. Oh the tragedy!

Jude the subtle sarcasm in my post must have been too subtle mate.

JK, we do have the option of securing the footballing prowess of your other favorite, Harry Maguire. I hear he may (if you're lucky) be made available this summer. ?.

What about Fikayo Tomori as an option for CB? Plays on the left of a CB pairing or a back 3.

I know Maguire keeps him out of the England squad, but that's on Southgate.

{Ed001's Note - no.}

Digger, i've seen him play a fair few times in Europe. He's basically a left footed Konate mate. Quick, strong in ground duels, solid in the air, decent on the ball, plays better in a back 3, and a bit rash/ slack at times.

On a free he's great value but if we had the money for Gvardiol i wouldn't be picking Ndicka!

I’d imagine Virgil might be really effective in Italy. Be good for us and the rest of his career if we could love him on.

As a FIFA manager for Sporting, now 2 seasons in, I can verify that Inacio would be a quality addition to our defense. But, If I were to pick one player it would be St. Juste for right Back.
