Anselmino is a right-footer. Anselmino does not want to go to Strasbourg. IF we do not buy Jacquet now, and IF we do recall Mamadou Sarr (a righty) from Strasbourg, then I would support a 6 month loan for Josh (another righty) to Strabourg. He is real quality (like Sarr) and will get a tonne if minutes there, likely as a starting CB. mkh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So is Sarr a ball playing CB who can pass comfortably between the lines or is he more of a no-nonsense, “classic” CB? I haven’t watched enough of him to know.

I haven’t watched enough of him to know. His longer-range passing looked great at AFCON and from some of the Strasbourg games I watched. I was pleasantly surprised how easily he slotted into the Senegalese starting line-up and thrived under massive pressure. IF we do get Jacquet as well (summer time probably) and IF Sarr and Jacquet both take to the EPL, then given both their massive potential talents, their size (1.90m for Jacquet, 1.94m for Sarr), and their pace, we just might have two great younf CBs on our hands, plus we also have Josh. If we can just get an actual quality lefty CB to replace Badi (IF we are doing the youth thing, then I would go for Honest Ahanor or Karim Coulibaly), and if (I so so hope so) Colwill fully recovers, we could have 5 superb, big, fast CBs in a year or two from now. These are the top valued left-footed CBs on the planet atm who have not yet turned 23yo: These are the top valued right-footed (obviously the number of great right-footers is much higher than great left-footers) CBs on the planet who are 20yo right now (not 19yo or under and not 21yo and older, these are all 20yo now): And finally, speaking of rare, this is the ONLY ambipedal (and even a more valuable trait for us, he also prefers to play at LCB) CB on the planet of any age who is valued at £20m or more (it was such a double gut-punch when we lost him to Real Madrid (one of only 2 teams we simply cannot out-pull in almsot every case when they demand a player, Barca being the other of course, but they are fucked financially still) AND then Colwill destroyed his knee. I went BONKERS when both happened as I knew it meant big CB troubles ahead this season): Of those 12 CBs listed in the 3 snapshots above, we either currently own, did own at one time, are heavily linked, or were heavily linked to almost all of them.

VVD will be 35 come end of season. Konate still not signed contract. I If they can give big salaries for ageing players, they should have paid Guehi his demands, considering he is the future and present and is arguably best CB in league.

He is a great CB, but right now, I would not say he is the best CB in the EPL these are all the CBs in the EPL rated £40m or above in bold are ones I rate over Guéhi atm (NOT blasting Guéhi at all, I rate him very highly, I think he is WC and would LOVE him here again!) William Saliba Gabriel Magalhães Josko Gvardiol Micky van de Ven Rúben Dias Murillo Leny Yoro ? (not sold yet) Marc Guéhi Levi Colwill (IF he fully recovers) Jarrad Branthwaite ? (depends on his recovery from a bad injury) Riccardo Calafiori (he plays at LB a lot) Cristian Romero (overrated IMHO) Piero Hincapié Ibrahima Konaté (overrated IMHO) plus, RIGHT know, VVD is still WC, despite his age, he is still a massive beast and huge leader I we are talking about this season or the next, I would still rate him over Guéhi, after that, probably no longer, simply due to age and, finally a player (EPL club player out on loan) that I wanted so so badly (and fucking Spuds pipped us to him) who is soon going to be, again IMHO, a fucking beast, quite possible WC He is only 18yo too (soon 19yo), and is so so good at Hamburg Luka Vuskovic (only 3 CBs on the planet who are under 22yo are valued more than him atm: Pau Cubarsí, Dean Huijsen, and Leny Yoro) I would probably (maybe, I am conflicted TBH) take him over Guéhi as he is 6 and a half years younger and has a higher ceiling he is very likely the next Croatian CB superstar, pig, strong as bull, very decent pace, great instincts already Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same, as long as he actually plays ahead of Badiashile and Tosin and isn’t given the Josh treatment. Its weird how we heard all this talk about how the club “is now ready to bring in a TOP level STARTING CB this window” and instead we’re just recalling one we already own from loan who may not actually be better than Acheampong who we already don’t even use. And whatever happened to our interest in a midfielder? Was it really Douglas Luiz or nobody? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OneMoSalah 9,104 Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 If we have been linked to Tonali & are serious about it, pull the trigger. No questions or doubts. Genuine top player, right age, physically capable, gets around the pitch well, good variation in his passing, play as a 6 or an 8. Would be an excellent signing in fact but any links/move would probably be too good to be true. Be more PR from the wankers upstairs. Him, Caicedo & Fernandez/Palmer would be a very good midfield 3 - be it with a 6 & two 8’s or two 6’s & a 10. Him and Caicedo in particular would be excellent together I feel. Bring a real physicality and grit. I mean that Newcastle midfield 3 has got a bit of everything but he for me is genuinely the best out of the 3 of them. Would take Lewis Hall back too, doing very well at LB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
