    Any centre-back is going to be worse than the best centre-back in the World to be fair. Replacing Van Dijk (you can't really, not like-for-like at least) is never going to be an easy task. I hope our analytics and recruitment department can find someone on the cusp of breaking through mind - even at Celtic it was obvious to many that Van Dijk could be brilliant and it'd be nice if we nabbed an exciting player before we had to buy them at an inflated fee from a Portuguese side.

    As to failing to qualify for the Champion's League, it's simply not in the interest of the owners to do that. They want the club generating as much money as possible and the revenues that come with European footie will always be a part of that plan - which means keeping the squad at a high level.

    We'll likely continue to have windows where we come to the end and say "could have used a centre-back this window" or "really should have bought a deep-lying mid for the upcoming season" but I don't foresee the squad being allowed to rot - there's a reason we pay (roughly) Ł850k-per-week collectively on our 6 forwards for example.

    Absolute madness if they let Virgil & Mo go

    Virgil still is the best CB out there keeps himself in incredible shape too will still be going strong in 4 years

    Just read that Alvarez's agent said we were interested in signing him last summer. What a signing he would be.

    Missed this too,…

    Wonderful player - would add another dimension to our attack. Macca into him… Would see the best of Diaz with that level inside of him… Lots of goals in tight games.

    He just runs around a lot & apparently struggles to finish his dinner.

    Not that he has been anywhere near his best he is our biggest threat behind Salah AND our second top scorer. I know plenty love Gakpo but the lad is not of Diaz’s quality. Might be a better bet tho as Diaz strikes me as a player eyeing a life in Spain.

    with Diaz the ball is always at the side of when he runs at the side of his foot that is.. so hes always half turned.Mane the ball was always in front of him when hes going towards goal... We need find someone of the quality of Mane..
