i remember when you two used to be friends

chris has obviously been moved to a more troublesome year group at work

ffs

skriniar is probably better than Dier but I don't think it's like he would walk in and be one of our very best players - he's got that Maguire turning circle and honestly is quite weak in the air for such a big lad

Ndicka I honeslty think is just pretty average - if he was right footed I don't think there would be much interest in him.

Lloris
Forster

Porro-------Romero-------Dier--------Lenglet---Perisic
Doherty---Tanganga---Sanchez-----Davies---Sess
Emerson

Bentancur------Hojbjerg
Bissouma-------Skipp
Sarr

Kulu--------Kane----------Son
Gil--------Richarlison----Danjuma

is that not 1 over the non HG limit and 1 under the home grown in Europe?

yeah I assume we will try to sell royal if Porro gets done

noise is its Porro in and Spence out on loan tho

7 of those defenders need go be moved on

I reckon both go

or Doherty I suppose

yep. goes some way to transition to back 4 with next manager swapping them out with a few quality ones

Son Richarlison Danjuma to start at the weekend pls

🚨 JUST IN: A £35M deal for Pedro Porro to join #thfc is now close! | @johncrossmirror

All sorts of rumours about a third coming in after Danjuma and Porro. Saying either a centre half or a midfielder.

I'd take Maguire off United's hands. I still think there's a good defender in there but his confidence is shattered at United.

I don’t know much about Ndicka but take ur word 🙌

our wingbacks are pretty average on paper and in most of their displays but theyve been far down the list of problems this season. the Porro transfer was one for the summer instead we got someone who hasnt started a single prem game.

now we need urgently CBs to improve the team. and a goalie.

Kane not playing

Porros last game for sporting was a worldie

Cup tied has been scrapped right?

Ndicka wasnt that great against us in the CL unlike Porro

even though hes small his comfort and ability on the ball could be transformative but really needs to hit ground running

would agree with this if the deal is ok, especially as we have terrible english players bar Kane

Maguire is decent enough for England still.

Maguire to rotate with Dier at CCB could work. Wouldn't want him in a pair though

I guess the Prem is a lot quicker than international footie isn't it, and that's where the problem lies.

Certainly wouldn't fancy him in a back 4 if Spurs get a front-foot manager after Conte. He wasn't quick to begin with but it seems like he's got noticeably slower in the last couple of years - weird that it's happened relatively young but fine margins at the top level etc

Looking forward to seeing what he has to offer.

Looks genuinely two-footed also from what I’ve seen.

yeah makes sense for Conte but not really moving forward

if united wanted to loan him to try to increase his stock then it wouldn't be the worst idea

That was part of the reason for mentioning him. If we bring in Danjuma and Porro and loan out Spence then our homegrown quota is very light. For a cut down price we could have a genuine England starter in the backline. If he recaptured anything like his Leicester form, he'd be brilliant. I'd go for him at around £30-35m. See if United bite.

It won't happen now though as they're not about to strengthen a top four rival. Haven't City got a surplus of centre backs? I wonder what a cheeky bid for Laporte or Diaz would do. Neither of them start these days.
