Lindelof having a really good tournament. Personally don’t think a cb is top of our priority with lb and rw more pressing areas. We have two talented cbs in bailly and lindelof who could be a partnership for years to come if they are allowed to build an understanding and can keep fit. I can understand the Alderweireld and bonucci reports and they would be great additions. But lindelof needs a run of games to get hit confidence up.

Totally agree. Go with Bailly and Lindelof starting, put Tuanzebe in. Sell Rojo and either Smalling or Jones. Get a left back and a right winger.

Both Bailey and Lindihop are potentially very good defenders. Fast, decent on the ball, and can read the game. It’s a testament to Jose’s lack of patience in younger players that Smallingis playing ahead of these two. Playing a limited defender, who is terrified of passing the ball becuase he’s less likely to make mistakes.

I agree with most of that Mort but still think Rojo is a good backup. Jones and Smalling haven't made the grade and although Bailley is the best we have his injury record worries me, so definitely think another 'top' CB would be needed. The big issue will be getting rid of the makeweights for a decent fee.

I think we could be seeing more of the 3-5-2/ 3-4-3 formation next season, having 6 centre backs on the books if we don't sell any.

Worked well lasts season when we used it, don't understand why we stopped using it. Allows us to play two up top without being too defensively open.
