CB's left who we still have been linked with during the last 2 weeks
no real order
José Giménez <<<< I think he will be too expensive, I just cannot see Atleti letting him go for anywhere near a reasonable price, unless (and I so doubt thsi happens) Simeone leaves, and even then, why would they sell him?
Milan Skriniar <<<< Conte REALLY doesnt rate him, complete freezeout, I think we can do business via a swap + cash IF Conte doesn't get sacked (IF Conte is sacked as well as Sarri, then our last 2 managers have now so fucked our sales plans via getting cashiered)
Lewis Dunk << anything over £25/30m or so is just not worth it, English tax be damned, he turns 29yo in less than 3 months, and he is no Thiago Silva genetic freak
Thiago Silva < I am all in for him as a stopgap he is the second best CB on the planet over 33yo, after Ramos (who is a year and a half younger), and has a year left in his tank from all that I have seen. Thiago looks and plays like he is a 30/31yo, not a 35yo who is soon 36
and for next year
Dayot Upamecano <<<<<<< a €42 million release clause, which will be active as soon as the summer 2021 window opens, he surely must be a top target next summer
I do not think I am leaving anyone else as all these are still linked, and players like Ginter are off the board in terms of any rumours
