Get this colossus in and get Fonte in too.

Omg what no, why do we need both?

Stones is off and Jags days are probably numbered.

Jags and Fonte are the same age basically though, I'd get Williams and Martins Indi in if I had to pick two

well Koubilaly if we are being specific....Martins Indi i'm not sure about....but luckily for us we have one of the best defenders of the last 20 years making the choices, so we can relax on this one and be happy with whatever he goes with.

Of the last 20 years? Really!

Saints was £20mil for Fonte

He's even older than Williams! Way, way too much for me

Actually talking of Koeman's defensive qualities, I remember him as a world class central defender/sweeper, but have only just noticed how good his goalscoring record was. 1 in 3 throughout his entire career. Astonishing that. (Obviously a fair few pens and free kicks, but still amazing)

Highest scoring defender ever.
Similar goalscoring record to big Dunc

He probably did take penalties but do not remember but I just remember his boss free kicks. Would nearly score with every free kick he was that good. Still think he is the best free kick taker I have seen.

oh not saying he's worth it/or that we'll get him. just saying I know that's what Saints valued him at when we enquired (I only found this our yesterday btw). Seems that Williams may well have been our alternative to Fonte... not sure.

hopefully he can teach the likes of barkley and duelofeu a thing or 2

sorry, 30 years, showing my age!

It all melts into one after you hit 45

You ITK now too?

Because we cant bloody defend !

not at all mate

it's just part of my job and through that I find a few things out but nothing major. I know that Williams was happy with our offer for example and that he was ready to sign (but that came from a Swansea side not Everton). Fonte source is different but again I have no reason not to believe him.

I rarely have anything that's solid/relates to us in anyway, but on this one I've shared what I know - but it's by far from everything (I had no idea for example that Swansea would 'reject' the deal they initially agreed with us).
