[JUSTINSIGNAL]

Is it too much to sign Tabsoba, Tosin and VDV? Tapsoba seems like the obvious first choice and Tosin can cover both sides. VDV could cover LCB and LB which might be just as important if we ship out Perisic, Reguilon and Sess. Udogie is a real talent but we’re definitely going to need cover there and think Davies might struggle with the high intensity under Ange.

Would rather have 3 signings in the back line than any other position right now.

Yes. We don’t have Europe and centreback is one of the positions where a partnership needs to develop so there will be minimal rotation. Dier will stay and we’ll sign two CBS. No way we spend the money to sign three.

Agree. Think it'll end up depending on our ability to shift a couple from Dier, Sanchez, Davies, Tanganga, and Rodon. Would happily move on all of them but whether we can is a different matter.

I'm not going to prejudge which of our existing CBs has the fitness, willingness and ability to sign up to Ange's never stop philosophy. History would suggest that players fans thought were finished become ever presents in the team and previously undroppable players are benched or sold.

To be fair, this looks the most likely incoming at the back so can see this hopefully progressing this week - maybe even concluded before Friday.

 

[felmani26]

Getting Tapsoba is paramount for me but if we get both in then I genuinely will look forward massively to our prospects this coming season.

Same, on the flip side id be pretty underwhelmed if we ended up with VDV and Lenglet.

Yeah, he is for Dutch news.

I would have expected personal terms would have been a formality anyway.

We still need to agree a fee with Wolfsburg.
