I'm sure I am not the only one thinking our need for a quality CB is far greater than chasing Isak. Wirtz was excellent last night and the interaction with Salah and Frimpong was amazing.

I don't think it's a case of one or the other.

You’d think a global leading multi billion pound football club would be able to do two things at once wouldn’t you….

I’d be happy with Isak and a centre back.

Why not get both, we clearly have money!

One of the ITKs (I think it was Thefields) replied to a similar post yesterday that we are also pursuing CB signings, but they are getting much less airtime in the tabloids than Isak. Guehi would be the next noisy as he's also a PL player, but the younger CB may just slide in under the radar.
Now we've finished the preseason games, I expect more movement in the next week as Slot will have had a chance to properly assess his options including the academy players.
Of the highlights I have seen, I'd definitely be integrating Rio, Nyoni and Doak into the first team squad, they all deserve a chance in a few games this season. Stephenson also looks good (header notwithstanding! ) and gives some flexibility across CB and CDM.
