While I certainly agree it's worth noting that we've been linked with primarily LCB's this summer, I cannot fathom a club willing to pay what Levy would ask for Vertonghen would do so after the season he's just had in regard to his mentality. Ever since @Barry Mead made the point a couple days ago in another thread, I've gone back and forth because of this reason.
My guess though at the moment is we're looking at moving both Dawson and Kaboul on. They've already become liabilities, and will only become more so with the demands Poch's tactics place on the situation. I think we're looking at bringing Lovren in to pair Verts for first choice, and Moreno to compete with Verts thereby allowing Vlad to slide back to his natural position to press Lovren. Everyone plays their natural position, and that's an extremely athletic CB corps capable of handling the unique stress of Poch/Bielsa tactics.
I don't think Caulker's coming back. If we wanted him, I think we'd have done it by now.
Dawson is probably staying because of who and what he is to the club but I wouldn't be surprised to see Jan and especially Kaboul go.
