Still not convinced on Sakho
CB is all about parings, I think he has been very good for us, but imagine him with Varane next to him (in our case Ilori). What a partnership that would be!!
The guy passes well, he's strong, fairly quick for a big guy, good postional play. He just 'looks' awkward (note the word looks).

He "looks" awkward because he is (note the word is) <ok>

No point debating whether he is or isn't awkward. I'll set you a challenge to watch 15 full Liverpool games this season (that feature sakho) and I honestly think you would see how good he is. Also watch one or two national team games and you will see why we rate him so highly.
 
Mitrovic having medical at Newcastle.

Think he'll be a good signing, there for a couple of years before a bigger team snatches him up for 25m

Watch him for a few games... he's a class act.

In terms of PL centre backs right now there's not a lot of quality...

Terry
Koscielny
Cahill
Sakho
Vertonghen
Kompany

None of them are in the top bracket with Hummels, Varane, Ramos, Pique etc though.

Think this is one of the best things I've ever seen...

Reactions: astro and Skylarted
Stones showing why he's not a £30m CB yet, following the ball and ignoring his man who slips past him to put arsenal 3-0 up
 
Sitting on the bench won't do much good for his improvement though.

He won't get much first team experience no but he would be coached well and have experienced defenders to watch and learn from [HASHTAG]#betterthaneverton[/HASHTAG]

But he will have to do 7 times more defndig at Everton so in terms of practice he'll get a lot more in the games
