LDN Blue 7,903 Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 LOL incredible But I don't see us splashing out £30-35million on a new defender yet. Though the fact they held discussions with City suggests they'll negotiate under his release clause.. Even then, it's one hefty fee to pay for a 23-year old.

Would be a star player at either United or City so I hope he doesn't go to one of them.He'd become a monster under José. Maybe if Luiz is sold and he feels we need another CB to replace him.

BlueLyon 9,359 Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Should Luiz leave, MAYBE we might go after another CB either Varane or Mangala...but I dont realy see need to get CB. Both frenchies are great defenders and I would like to see them here, but they are not required. We have Cahill and Terry who will hold for another season and then Zouma, Kalas, Iva to fill Terry departure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Gino 377 Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Mourinho said in January that Mangala was too expensive so Kurt Zouma was bought. Another great piece of business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrExcalibur100 7,124 Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 I hope we actually start getting linked to players we need. Once the market is officially opened, we have to do our business as swiftly as possible for a world-class CM and a good, young LB. I also wouldn't mind another winger or number 10 as I'm yet to be convinced by the quality of Schurrle, Willan or Salah.It's good that the Costa deal already seems sorted, so that's a +1 for our board.BUT if we start dragging our feet, another 3rd place finish is on the cards. The summer is the most important part of next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheva. 5,373 Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 He's a liability in defence. He's very fast and can recover some mistakes, but he keeps flying everywhere to get the ball, vacating his spot.But a top manager might make him calm down a bit.

BleedsBlue 1,549 Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 At this stage I'd like to see more of Kalas than any new centre back signing. Also if we are signing a left back then Iva would prove to be a more effective cb than as a right back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneMoSalah 8,886 Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Tbh if we do sell Luiz, I'd rather someone like Phil Jones or even Varane who have proven themselves in leagues better than the Portuguese. Also we don't need 2 new CBs, just the one if Luiz goes. Kalas looks more than ready to play a lot more based on the Liverpool performance.

Waterfall 893 Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Make sense that we won't be making a 35M investment on a position we have good depth in. Makes his comment even weirder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 18,897 Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 I bet he ends up going for less than the insane prices rumored. Don't even think City are going to spend that much on a CB this summer. If he really pushes for a move I think he goes for significantly less than £35m. He'll be very good when surrounded by other top players too.

RoyalBlues 4,050 Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 I heard that there have been discussions with Manchester City about Mangala, but the clubs did not reach an agreement.With Luiz leave, if, if and if Jose think we need CB replacement. I think we should go for Mangala. There is better chance we could get Mangala than Varane, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
