I would be gutted to lose JV and I think it’d be a big mistake
I say this with no evidence whatsoever but...
He’s core to the culture I reckon. A true professional who also mixes in some passion and personality. And he’s quality. Keep under all circumstances
I agree but personally I see this more as a replacement for when Jan leaves, there's no way we'd bring in a player and put them straight into our back 2 from the get go unless we had to sure to injury.
For me Ake would be the long term CB to partner Sanchez replacing Jan and Toby respectively. Having 4 CBs of decent quality on our books at the same time makes sense, having 2 for each side of the CB pair makes even more sense and this is what we'd have if Toby leaves this window and Ake joins.
