CBs

hi all

ive been so pleased with this window so far! but.....
i am getting very concerned about the CB situation. Regardless of Ibous contract, hes still here atm. So we should get a good season from him....when hes fit! As we know, he can be a bit flaky. Not to Joe Gomez` level tho.
So add ibou to Joe and we have probably 2.5 cbs with VVD. That aint gonna work for me. Grav endo and Robbo arent cb and cant be relied on. Nallo is probably the only option near and hes not ready.

so transfers (as we know) are where we are looking. We all know and like Guehi. will we get him? who knows atm. seems to have cooled our interest.
If we do go for guehi, i do feel we need a youngster alternative. ive heard a lot recently about Giovanni Leoni from Parma. So i searched and found this post on TIA:

Its a good analysis. Some good stats and compares well with our current cbs.
Also had a highlight vid:

Hes strong, quick, composed and intelligent tactically. i really rate him from his brief career so far.
Worth a punt as backup?
thoughts pls
