Were his appearances sporadic or did he go through a period of starting and then not starting. If the latter, did he start on the bench but claim a place in the starting 11 for the latter part of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jernej93 569 Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 We have a lot of talent among Zouma, Christiansen, Miazga and youth players so we don't need another "project". Our starting defenders are poor so we need a quality starter even if he is 30+ ? Terry - Cahill/Ivanović should not be our starting lineup until Zouma returns But on the other hand if Conte thinks he is good ... than buy him. Next year we would have 3 young and quality CBs and we have probably the best coach to suit them in 3 at the back system. In Conte we trust Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuudiGullit 112 Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Will he play right back as he is also able to play on that position? And also because of the rumours of him replacing Ivanovic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MefiX19 1,092 Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 Hope we don't sign him, not because he is bad, but becauae we already have so so many young defenders in our academy. What we need is CB who is about 30, not inexperienced 20 year old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RuudiGullit 112 Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 If he can play right back flawless so that Slowpoke Iva can finally f#ck off then it's all good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneMoSalah 8,888 Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 His natural position is not right back. This is like Ivanovic all over again. If he comes to play as a Center half then fine but if not don't sign him get an actual right back... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nono 791 Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 I'd prefer Koulibaly but if we can't get him I'd rather have Lindelof than Mustafi. He seems really fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petre.ispirescu 4,928 Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 I have not watched him that much to be fair, but from the very few games I have seen mostly in UCL against Bayern and Zenit and the three matches at the Euro in France, he looks very similar to Bonucci. Maybe this is the reason why Conte is interested and ready to swoop for him. If indeed he is the one to push for this transfer, and not the board.

I am a fan. For 30mio€ he would be a good deadline day signing. I mean we won't get Koulibaly and from what I have heard Lindelof is a good player, so we should hurry up, considering that all other CB options like Maksimovic are highly unlikely to get.
