    I do think it would be unfair to have Talbi competing with both Bakwa and Amad tbh

    Not bothering with a right back at all would get us to Bakwa and part way to Openda:emoticon-0102-bigsm:emoticon-0105-wink:

    It’s not pass agg I genuinely just don’t understand your pov here mate

    He might not have been a starter but after Brentford RLB might’ve said he’s fine there let’s sign another versatile option

    we don’t know

    but if we signed lucumi and not geertruida it’s the same situation

    Could be worse, we could cite mental health for not signing players or panic buying players for nigh on €90 million.

    bottom of the barrel is the term……

    Dropping the price by 20m is the first sign of desperation on their part that they need the money in now for a player that isn’t going to offer them anything. If Liverpool keep the original offer on the table, the mags will accept that tomorrow at some point.

    Numbers yes. Bodies yes. Quality? Not at all. How can it be when one scenario has mukiele as our first reserve defender where in the other our first reserve is Ballard if fit? If we just need bodies and cover there are much cheaper ways of doing it.

    I don’t understand

    it would be

    RB - Hume Geertruida
    CB - Mukiele Ballard
    CB - Alderete Seelt
    LB - Reinildo Masuaku

    or

    RB - Hume Mukiele
    CB - Lucumi Ballard
    CB - Alderete Seelt
    LB - Reinildo Masuaku

    It wouldn't shock me if they do that with some add-ons for title and Champions League wins up to £130m which will be accepted.

    Why not. They’re holding all the cards now. The mags need to sell because his value will drop like a stone if he sits this season out and they’ve spent quite a lot of money this window and are looking to spend more. They need this deal done.

    Don’t forget reinildo can play lcb as well and we have masuaku at left back when he does, I’d prefer him there over seelt and onien right now

    No it wouldn’t. That’s where the flexibility comes in. If we get two centre defenders injured in scenario one it’s Ballard who steps in. In scenario two we’re through to Seelt, or this new lad. Once again I’ve not seen this new lad but as I said at the very start, if he’s more right back then centre half it’s not the perfect signing for us. Now maybe perfect has long gone. And maybe this lad can play centrally for us with ease. But that’s why I put a big fat equivocation at the start as I’m going off basic info. But IF this lad is ‘just’ a rug he back in reality, it’s not what I’d be spending deadline day sorting if I was in change of a football club.

    Would you prefer this lad or Lucumi? And is Lucumi the only outright centre half that we could get who can play either side of a pairing?
