Centre Backs Lack(ing)?

Evening Redmen,

I see today, Joe "half a season" Gomez has returned home due to achilles issues. After selling Quansah and everyone else being too young, we are left with VVD, Ibou and Joe.

i dunno about you, but to me that aint enough!

Now i realise we are prowling round Palace to get us some Guehi, which will be great if it comes off. Is it enought with Joes record? Remember the CB crisis a couple of seasons ago?

i know Endo and Grav can cover short term and Robbo has filled in occasionally but id really hope for something better and more concrete and long term from the Slot Machine

After our mindblowing window so far, is there a plan for Guehi and another? is there funds?
if so who?
personally i like Jorrel Hato from Ajax but he would be another foreign name and our squad is overfull with foreign names ATM

any thoughts ?

If we get Guehi we are fine, but I would eventually like to sign a Gomez replacement, he just isn’t worth a squad place.

Hato’s about to sign for Chelsea, I think.

I think we’ll get one CB in and that’ll be it, and I think we’ll manage with that.

Guess we could get a youngster in though, as well??

Hato is not good enough. He played left back in Dutch league and is not even 6ft. Guehi is the prime target and we might just have to pay what they want or at least close to what is requested.

We done really well in recruitment this summer and getting a CB is probably a bigger priority then signing Isak.

we have the lad, Nallo i think hes called. Made his debut and got sent off. i know hes highly thought of in the coaching team and we love to promote but i dont want to have to use him as the 4th option

Gomez will be our fourth option, we will sign a CB.

Giovanni Leoni is a lad from Parma thats been scouted. could be nice option. young, tall, quick and a ball player too. very raw but training with VVD Ibou and Guehi everyday would work wonders
