I see it as the opposite. Gvardiol is Silva’s replacement if we signed him but good enough to start at LCB until then.

Ake and Colwill i only see as being LCB if they were to become regular starters.

The Athletic article states Tuchel wants to steer towards a back 4 in the future.

It seems we never learn even after kdb and salah  sales effectively costing us tons of titles we are repeating the same mistake over and over again 

It's hard to say we haven't learnt our lesson when a number of players we've sold recently have buy-back clauses. I guess it just comes down to how much potential the club sees in each player.

I can only remember Livramento, does anyone else have a buyback? Tammy?

Abraham (next season IIRC) & Ake had a matching clause, which we decided against taking up.

That's a fair point. But we still keep up that weird policy of selling our youngsters to fund average signings who are hardly any better.

I agree. We can only hope this will slowly become a thing of the past going forward. We have enough regrets with a number of players in the USA.

Same deal as Ake (matching clause). I had forgotten about that.

Sign Gvardiol for that left hand side and that's the spot blocked for years, especially if/when we revert to back 4.

most of his games he played at centre CB (7 games very early on at left wing back as well, not left CB, but was strictly a CB after the first part of the season)

30 games, 27 starts at centre CB , 1 at RIGHT CB (all listed below) and 2 where he came in as a sub at centre CB

probably would have been 34, as they play 4 less league games than the other big 5

we also have no idea how Colwill will adapt

[Magic Lamps 11,677]

Guehi was a matching clause. Ake was a buy back clause for £40m.

top valued left footed CB's

in T-Markt order

 

bold I rate to buy possibly, if not now, maybe down the road as well

Alessandro Bastoni (needs to improve IMHO, he regressed last season)
David Alaba  
Pau Torres  
Lucas Hernández 
Aymeric Laporte  (big rebound last season, would take him over Ake ALL day long)
Presnel Kimpembe (maybe)
Gabriel   (crazy he is valued above the next two)
Josko Gvardiol   (plays most times at centre CB in back 3)
Nico Schlotterbeck  (ffs, still steaming we missed him)
Lisandro Martínez    dwarf, only 1.75m
Evan Ndicka   
Benoît Badiashile  
Sven Botman  
Tyrone Mings  
Nathan Aké   
Iñigo Martínez   
Gonçalo Inácio    young
Castello Lukeba   
Mario Hermoso   
Mohammed Salisu   
Moussa Niakhaté
Abdou Diallo maybe  (would make a decent LB option for a backup as well) 
Federico Dimarco  
Piero Hincapié   
Marcos Senesi  
Alessio Romagnoli  
Max Kilman
David Carmo    
Attila Szalai

It's crazy how almost all of those are so much better than Ake

Also we did not even try for Botman who moved to Newcastle.

Of those we have not been linked with yet i am a fan of ndicka and salisu. athletic beasts both of them and increasingly reliabel despite their young age.
