didierforever 7,349 Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 He have sold Luiz, and let Kalas go out on loan. We need to have another quality CB, as Zouma is still unproven, and might not even be at the club come the start of the season.we bought him for 12mil for a reason. and definitely not to loan him. and even if zouma goes on loan, we have omerou. CB - JT, GC, iva, zoumaRB - azpi, ivaLB - RR/FL, azpi.we dont need another CB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jype 6,398 Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 we have Ivanovic to replace Luiz, and Zouma as a Backup...Terry-Cahill-Iva-Zouma for CBAzpi - Iva for RBFilipe - Azpi for LBso,,it's enough...Six players for four positions is too thin for a team that plays 50-60 games a season IMO. I know we only had seven defenders last season and of them Kalas hardly even played but we've been really lucky injury-wise at the back this past year so that should be considered the exception, not the rule. There's no way to know if JT will be able to have another injury-free season and some of the others could be getting some unfortunate knocks too but with just six defenders we'd be two injuries or suspensions away from not having any defenders left on the bench so I would consider it very risky to not get another defender in. Not sure if I'd want us to sign another CB because I'm still hoping for Kalas to come good but maybe another rotation option for the full-back department would be good, just to be safe. Ideally that would be Bertrand but I've got a feeling he's not willing to come back and still be a backup.Maybe get Chalobah back and use him at CB if needed, while primarily playing him in midfield? Or in addition to Zouma also keep Omeruo who can play both CB and RB? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mourinho ain't going to put a defender in our squad who has no experience in the bigger leagues. If Zouma goes out on loan; I guarantee we will get another CB.

Once again, Varane played because he was a better option compared to what he had at RM. Also, I said EUROPEAN experience. Last time I looked, St Etienne weren't in Europe last season.

Last time I looked, St Etienne weren't in Europe last season.So since he has not played in european competitions it means he is not good enough? Even suarez has not played in CL. Also how was there no one better available. RM has BOUGHT varane and played him despite having the option of literally buying any CB they want. They arr RM, they don't even need to be picky. Varane was a jose buy just like zouma is. With the mata and kdb sales plus the impending sale of DL (everyone knew he was on his way out with the time he was getting in defence and the price that was being quoted, even barca at 30mil £ was a good sale). We could have bought almost anyone but chose zouma, cos the manager trusts him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never doubted Zouma's ability, but I am than sure Mourinho will buy another CB this summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
