Leicester another club who couldn't find quality a CB without massively overpaying, and they had the Maguire money to spend.
Can thank Man Utd for destroying the market prices for half decent defenders.
Ive had time to reflect on the whole CB farce, heres my take.
From the fact that Chelsea sold Luiz you would imagine that Zooms was defo available. We didnt get linked to hardly any CBs during the window, so it would seem we put all our eggs in the Zoom basket. Luiz deal utterly destroyed any hope, so we then moved on to Rojo, we didnt wanna be lumped with a fairly rubbish CB on a long contract so we walked away.
No, there defo arent only 3 CBs in world football, but ive been saying for a while, I personally consider the level of CBs the lowest I can ever remember, theres simply no Superstar CBS left, sure theres De Ligt, who looks like he will be a baller and that fella over the park, but neither are ya Baresis, Nestas, Vidics, Rios, Terrys.
So its not ideal, we have Mina who had an injury hit season last year, Keane also had a few niggles, Keane has been prone to be a bit up and down also, so the lack of a real option, is not great. But Holgate has proven to be a good player at times and the boy Gibson, Gbamin and even Feeney could "do a job". But its done now, the window for signings is over.
Be nice if we could all just get behind the players we have, the manager we have and dont concern ourselves with the people who CURRENTLY dont matter Brands, Moshiri, Kenwright, none of them matter now, all that matter are the 18 players we pick tomorrow and the fella with the massive watch in the dugout.
