It is but why, the fact is we are in 2 competitions and we need to qualify for the CL.
If it’s because your going sack your manager then sack him, club needs the cash from CL qualification.
It makes zero sense regardless whatever angle you look at it, after all the club seemed to want a CB 5 months ago. And nethier have VVD or Konate or Gomez have shown we don’t need it.
Can we get Nico Schlotterbeck now?
If we throw enough money yeah, problem is they know that now.
At this rate we should throw the entire house to solve the CB problem.
We had no centre backs in January 2021 and signed fuck all (i don’t count Kabak) so there’s no way the brains trust are going to do it this January. Guehi should have been in the door on New Year’s Day but here we are.
How much do we have to spend as we need 2 CB’s a midfielder with a great range of passing, matbe Xabi could be player manager 
and 2 new forwards, maybe 1 when Isak comes back.
Thing is I would trust a new manager to get the best out of some players that obviously aren’t at their best we need a CB though.
This has been true for about five years. Apparently there is not a single defender on the planet who’s good enough to play for us outside of the two fit ones we have.
5 million! I know he’s nearly out of contract but that’s really taking the piss.
Glad to see the rumour about Robinson even though it is from Teamtalk. I felt that we should’ve snapped him up when he was playing for Wigan.
Tottenham and Liverpool are discussing a £5m package in the deal for Scotland captain Andy Robertson, 31. (Mail), external
Meanwhile, the Reds have renewed their interest in 28-year-old Fulham and United States left-back Antonee Robinson. (Teamtalk)
Can’t see Robinson wanting to be back up.
It would save a lot of trouble going from Robbo to Robbo though.
Should have bought Robinson last summer instead of Kerkez. What a bunch of clowns. I always thought that we would have bought him after he torched our right wing twice in both legs last season.
Kerkez is better, and younger, than Robinson. Albeit he makes the odd mistake, I think Kerkez was the right choice for the club and with time he will gain the confidence and consistency needed.
I do like Robinson though, good player.
You do realise that Robinson has only just returned from a 2 month layoff with a knee injury
Agreed. And it seems crazy that we are focusing on LB (selling Robbo for 5m mid season?!) when its CB that is the issue. WTF is going on with Hughes et al.?
Robinson is much better going forward and it was not even close.
He got injured last summer at Fulham. He might not have caught it had he joined us.
And immediately managed to mess with our defend after returning when we played Fulham earlier this month.
I do think Gakpo must be sold because:
Stevie Wonder would mess with our defence currently
Not just currently but also last season as well.
I think next summer we should copy Arsenal’s playbook of buying up defenders and defensive midfielders.
