I know what you mean, but what if the players in those positions are not currently available?
It’s been said multiple times what a clusterfuck we’ve made of our squad building to get us to this point, but it is what it is and we can’t change it. And if the players we might be looking at in those key positions are not attainable until the summer then we shouldn’t pass up an opportunity to get a top level commanding CB now if we can.
Money talks, and if we have 100m or whatever it takes to land Koulibaly (which I think is highly unlikely btw), I think we have money to address DM and one fullback and have some clubs willing to talk to us. Signing Koulibaly has certain echoes of when we signed Popescu all those years ago. We lumped on massively in one area when we needed to spread that money over a few positions, and as a result we remained pretty poor.
