This is my main issue with him, especially if both him and Silva starting at the same time.

 I think it is a bit unfair to Skriniar. Sure, there has to be a Serie A discount. players there are slower and weaker than in PL on average, so Lukaku and Tammy look lightning there while Alonso looked reasonably quick. Skriniar definitely does not have Rüdigers absurd speed (Ironically, Skriniar is as the quicker one at Fifa which is absolute BS) But I have seen Skriniar outpace Tammy, Osimhen, Moise Kean and Morata in a sprint duells off the ball and at least hold up vs Vinicius, diaz, mane, salah and even Theo on the ball. So I would say he is capable in that regard. Definitely faster than de vrij and bastoni. He also does not need to go into sprint duels that often bc he tackles players early. I particularly like how cleanly he tackles while also putting a lot of force into it to knock the opposition players off their feet quite often. He surely makes this on purpose to give himself more time on the ball. Also I saw him do full splits on a slide tackle so he sure is mobile.

Getting Skriniar is probably the best we can hope for if any player comes the other way. A CB that’s able to walk straight into the team and perform at a high level. Bastoni is more of a gamble.

I don't see Bastoni as a gamble at all, and he has a much bigger upside. The issue for me is his supposed desire to remain in Italy; I'd steer clear if there's any truth to it.

idk if this was intentional but 🤣

Could be worse, like "Rice and repeat." 🤭

Seriously tho, coming from Lukaku I'm just happy that we are merely linked with players like Richarlison and Jesus. It's really not about quality (whether they are good enough or not), but characteristics and what type of squad we are trying to build. On the same token, hope Dembele isn't coming... really dislike his antics and would stay clear.
