Centre Back shopping list..

Who do we want? Realistically

I think we need 3 CBs (if we play 343) all comfortable on the ball and good in the air.

Christansen CB/Sweeper
Milenkovic RCB
Botman LCB

Tanganga and Rodon to provide cover or challenge for first team spot.

So, are we actually talking about signing Christensen?

If we are supposedly selling Sanchez & Dier... then we need to buy 2 centre backs... not just one..

A right back is definitely needed

Another centre midfielder too... why aren’t t we in for Boubakary Soumare?!!

Another centre forward to replace Vinicius..

Maybe another to replace Kane...

Is Berwijn good enough?

Yes. Though if we're calling Davies a CB and playing him there, using Sess out wide we'll have 6. Which seems a bit much.

Yes

Hojbjerg and Skipp both play holding midfield. If we can shift Winks and Sissoko I guess it could work? But he might prefer Leicester.

Yes

Definitely

For a squad place, sure

We need a new back four....thats 4 players.
Toby is past his use by age.
None of Rodon, Tananga or Davies is good enough.

Will we get them......don't hold your breath!

I mean that’s total bollox. Tanganga and Rodon are kids, what they need is effective coaching, not binning off. Toby can still do a job, but we need to sack Dier and Sanchez off as well as Aurier and being in a new RB and best quality CB we can afford.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

I would have definitely keep Aurier, he is not as bad as everybody makes out. But I think he wants out anyway. Finding a new right back will not be easy.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Sandy he is awful, a liability.

............................................................................

I agree with Ace on this... Aurier is truly awful... he couldn’t even take a throw in, a couple of seasons back... not to mention the amount of penalties & free kicks in dangerous areas... leading to goals...

I don’t understand Sandy’s liking for Aurier... especially as Sandy would have seen some great right backs in his time... Joe Kinnear,Danny Thomas,Steven Carr & Kyle Walker... even Steve Perryman & Gary Stevens, have both filled in there... Aurier is not fit to lace any of their boots... he’s a defensive liability,a complete clown... I’ll even bet that someone has to tie his boot laces up for him... seriously!!

Aurier might not be great but Doherty was worse. That should be more worrying for us next season. I hope Doherty gets back on form when he is playing regularly

If you want to keep Tanganga and Rodon for the future , okay.
But putting them into the first team on day one is simply stupid.

Is it? Rodon played well before he dropped by Mason and was a regular for Swansea. I think he has good future based on his performances so far. Tanganga was trusted to make his debut against Liverpool and played well. I have not seen him have a bad game for us yet.

Well, I've seen plenty of ifey games from both of them, particularly when Tanganga is played on the right side.
Rodon is decent but not great.
If you want to put together a back four that can form the basis for a title winning squad, neither of them is good enough ATM.

You said putting them in the first team and now you are moving the goal post to a title winning side. We are a million miles away from winning the league. Both players when asked to do a job so far have not let themselves down.

Which ifey games are you referring to? Please list them for both players.
