Caleta-Car was apparently also attracting interest from Villa and West Ham. West Ham appear to have got Bednarek, with Villa missing out. Maybe Caleta-Car has chosen Villa so now we’re moving for Lacroix

For me he’s the best of the three so happy if it does pan out like that. Would leave us with 3 very good centre backs who all would expect to play most games so not sure how it would work with our new 4-3-3

Oh 100%. By some distance as well. It's just a question of how much he'll cost.

What are the best aspects of his game? Going off FM stats (which is all I can do whilst I’m supposed to be working) he seems very quick ?

Quick, strong, good in the air, good on the ball. All the typical attributes of a quality CB.

Perhaps it is simply a case of us not realising he was available and now moving on an unexpected opportunity. Garner sounded the same and Gakpo to an extent (PSV’s UCL failure)

Just wonder why this has cropped up so late in the day

Quick and strong and comfortable on the ball. I’ve seen him a few times and always stood out, a bit like ABK in the games we’ve seen of him so far.

Id imagine he would cost a lot though, and whether we’d spend that sort of money on a centre back with our options remains to be seen.

With all these CBs linked, perhaps Ralph wants to go back to a back 3...

Could be, but as it stands we look like we are only going to have 3 by the end of the day (ABK, Salisu and Lyanco)

You’d think if we wanted to go back to a back 3 then we’d want at least 5 to cover injuries/suspension. Maybe we get both Lacroix and Caleta-Car.

Maybe it’s plan B being actioned after missing out on Gakpo, play a back 3 and no need for the extra attacking player
 
Everton end interest in Joao Pedro, Watford want loan with £30m fee. I’d like to think we’d be interested in that

Can't see us signing 2 CBs especially if we are only loaning out 2 CBs. Could see us with 7 next summer.

Yep. He's 34 now. You'd have thought they'd have learned their lesson with Bertrand but apparently not.

Is left back even a priority position for them? Wasn’t Bertrand effectively third choice and sucking up circa 70k per week never playing ?
