    Only way we spend the required sums for that is if one of Mane or Salah leave.

    Kabak and Konate is £50m more than we have alone

    Konate release clause is £34m and assume we get Kabak for £8m net (after selling Nat) so its £42m which is a lot for two centre backs but not much considering these are two highly rated young centre backs and could be starting regularly for years to come. And we need to rotate Gomez / Matip accordingly.

    Essentially we should never be in the same position as we're in this season where we are relying on Championship / League 1 standard defenders.

    Point still stands. Where is the £42m coming from, never the money for a CM and attacker that you suggested.

    And if we experienced injuries at CB like this season, we'd have the same outcome still. We lost VVD, Jo-Go and Matip, we've also lost Kabak since too, that's you're four (swap Matip for Konate). If you claim we'll keep Matip to make it five CBs, you're crazier than I thought <laugh>

    One might claim kabak is championship level if one were equally harsh.

    If that's the attitude we take with all transfers, we wouldn't have the likes of Allison, VVD, Matip, Fabinho, Mane, Salah etc. We would be stuck with sh*te like Lucas and Lovren.

    I don't think he's quite that bad but he's not of title challenging standards imo

    Nope, he started off poorly but definitely got a lot better and was better than Phillips. Not much of a barometer but I think there was enough to suggest there is a talented CB in there. Konate is the primary target for me though.

    I agree - I just think he's a good long term option with a lot of potential. He is only 21.

    He'd be a decent fourth choice but as I've said, we won't spend £18m on a fourth choice CB.

    I'm not the money man mate but we need to shift a lot of deadwood this summer plus we will have around our normal £20-30m annual budget.

    We're definitely linked to Konate as per the local journos so you're better of asking them where the money is coming from :)

    It would be £18m but we would have to sell Phillips to offset it. £8m for Kabak is a steal IMO.

    No doubt we'll sign CB, we just won't get birth Konate and Kabak.

    Doesn't matter, we still won't spend £18m on a fourth choice CB

    Maybe mate. Konate is the primary target for me.

    I'm hoping we get them when they are a little older

    But we'd probably be willing if it was £8m ...

    Selling Phillips for £10m doesn't make Kabak £8m, it's still £18m!
