Colour me shocked:emoticon-0105-wink:

Last week was mukiele your starting centre half? Last week was he the clubs starting centre half? Is this new lad a genuine centre half option as a starter? As I said at the very start I’ve not seen this other lad. Didn’t stop the pass agg from you, though, did it lad?
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

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.

**** it, it wasn't the plan - the plan was to get Lucumi. Bologna have held firm and that isn't happening so we need to pivot.

Geertruida is a Dutch international who can play RB, CB and DM well. Big, strong lad with a bit of pace too. His ability to play multiple positions allows us to be tactically flexible during games. His CV is Feyenoord & RB Leipzig. He's played European football every year since he was 19.

I'm certainly not turning my nose up at this lad. I'll trust that we will create the new plan for him.
I’m happy to see what he’s like when he plays

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
 
If i was Liverpool id drop it to £90 million <laugh>
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.
