use the money in summer 2024 to help to buy a great right footed CB to replace Trevoh and (I assume) Thiago

Matthijs de Ligt   (if he actually is going to leave Tuchel and the Bavarian farmers, which I am doubtful of, but stranger things have happened)
António Silva
Bremer
Giorgio Scalvini
Robin Le Normand 
Jean-Clair Todibo  
Mohamed Simakan  
Nicolò Casale  
Malick Thiaw

 

I might add another one if can be bought for cheap. Giving that we are going for South America and especially two from Ecuador, I remember we was interested in Hincapie. I watched the qualifier of Bolivia vs Ecuador and he was good....granted it's Bolivia, but he is young and worth a shot me thinkgs.

The saddest part is, in terms of raw talent I would say Fofana is the best of the 3 French CB's that we brought to the club.

pre injury (the Villarreal crazy bad one) he was in my top 5 young CBs on the planet

France has 4 (and all are right footers, which is what we need/will need) CBs I would  love to have

3  Sr team, 1 youth

William Saliba (impossible)
Jean-Clair Todibo
Mohamed Simakan  

then a youth

Leny Yoro   (17yo, soon 18)

Hincapie

left footed CB

the last thing we need (literally, lol)

and he was indeed on my left footed CB lists until we sorted it

multiple ones have been snatched up (the striked-through ones)

Hincapié is now co-top by default

Josko Gvardiol
Alessandro Bastoni
Sven Botman'
Micky van de Ven  
Nico Schlotterbeck
Piero Hincapié
Gonçalo Inácio
Evan Ndicka 
Castello Lukeba
David Hancko 

youth

Jeanuël Belocian 
El Chadaille Bitshiabu 
Lucas Beraldo
Jorrel Hato

Is he any worse than disasi? 

Aged horribly.

@Vesper if we were to get someone like Simakan into the club, would Colwill, Simakan, Badiashile be good enough as the starting CB's?

Fofana is an exceptionally better defender than him. 

Disasi does have his aerial dominance and passing ability though that makes him valuable. 

Both have their strengths.

[King Kante 1,643]

Been our best CB since coming back. Wonder if he be able to avoid the FFP youth scrafice. 

[ZAPHOD2319 4,801]

 

[Ledg 643]

He was instrumental in probably our best defenfesive display this season.

Except for Sanchez howler (nothing to do with him), Wolves had two shots from Larsen and Cuhna for the stats and that was that. 

How does the higher-ups have the jobs that they do?

 

P.S. His topics is still in the "Out on loan". Took me a while to find it. 😅

[OneMoSalah 8,883]

Why we loaned him out is beyond me. Looked very comfortable all game, ok not perfect but still very very comfortable. Shambolic decision to loan him in the summer 👍

I read somewhere that Maresca finally said that board wanted to sold chalobah because of fpf 

he is a yes man

we already knew that chalobha is good enough to be a solid squad option and far better than at least disasti and I think he is better than badiashile and he can play also as a right back

Anyone who is willing to play Sanchez as often despite signing 2 new GKs and having another 954 guys in that position on the books is obviously a yes man… 

But yes your right, he should have been retained. Much better option than Tosin, Disasi & Badiashile. Sometimes better than Levi who has been up and down. Was so evident last season with Pochettino never mind now but yes, Maresca maybe should of fought harder if he really rated him.
