CB, DM and Semenyo

I would look at Eric Garcia and/or Marcos Sensei if Guehi fails to materelise

Garcia can play RB too. Given we are now financially fucked after the summer's outlays I hope we are paying attention to some of these options. All of Guehi, Senesi & Garcia improve our team.
 
There is interestingly a lot of CBs available on a free in the summer, meaning one might be available for a small fee as a short term squad plaster (which we need). Not commenting on quality or likelihood, but we currently have two fit CBs in the whole squad. This is a bit of an emergency.
  • Ibrahima Konaté (Liverpool)
  • Dayot Upamecano (Bayern Munich)
  • Marc Guéhi (Crystal Palace)
  • Antonio Rüdiger (Real Madrid)
  • John Stones (Manchester City)
  • Andreas Christensen (Barcelona)
  • Harry Maguire (Manchester United)
  • Marcos Senesi (AFC Bournemouth)
  • Niklas Süle (Borussia Dortmund)
  • James Tarkowski (Everton)
  • Eric García (Barcelona)
  • Fabian Schär (Newcastle United)
It also means a lot of clubs are in the market for a top Centre Back. I hope Hughes doesn't try to be too clever for our own good.

Saw this yesterday and, for a brief moment, thought he might get linked with us — after all, he played under Slot and was signed by Hughes. But then again, he’s 28 and would probably want regular first-team football.

I guess I would say this due to bias but if Liverpool FC are interested in you then that opportunity doesn't come around too often whoever you are.

In fact if you um and ah then that's probably an opportunity wasted never to be repeated. Just sayin'

I heard on a podcast (may have been Momo's one) that we can't sign a foreign CB in January unless we ditch one from our squad (Mo?) That cuts down the list a bit.

Also, I believe we are not allowed to sign mongs, so you can remove Maguire
 
None of those CBs bar Guehi would be on my list. Upamecano is a very talented CB but prone to a fuck up.
The rest are meh or getting to old.

By going on a free, he is obviously after some dough so he is not going to give up a big pay check that only one of the top clubs can offer him. I will let Konate go since he isn't going to sign, bring in Guehi and Senesi. Senesi is a proven premier league CB, not too bad for a 3rd/4th choice.

Virg, Guehi, Senesi, Gomez, the Italian kid - should be a good lineup with net zero transfer fees.
 
Senesi will be 29 before the start of next season and has already showed he isnt the quickest. Don't think he a particularly good fit for us. Can also only play as a LCB.
 
I mean out of the free transfers he seems the best option if we are going down that route. Premier league proven and probably on the smallest wage on that list.

If we can somehow find another 30-50m quid for a flashy 3rd choice CB obviously it will be the preferred choice.

I think that not only are we at the limit for foreign players, but we are only one away from the overall limit as well.

So without removing players we only have space for one home grown player.

There's a few who could be ditched I guess though.

Not hugely here to make a case for him but we have no credible options at LCB for the cups and we are setting ourselves up for disaster playing Virgil relentlessly
