    Don't think it's a rumour. It's exactly the profile of player BR likes. Which is why we should have a director of football

    Have to agree with this. I would much rather sign a player who is very much in the ascendancy in the champ than an out of favour 4th choice Bournemouth cb.

    Did he play with CCV at Bournemouth? Only positive I can see is if they have a pre-existing partnership and will work well together.

    I'd take him, but not for even close to £8m.

    I am happy that we are looking at players 27-29 years old. We have been screaming for that experience for years now. Players at that age is those who can handle the preassure of european games. Not seen this guy though, so i cant comment on his qualities.

    Hopefully that's the thinking here if the link is genuine. FWIW I've always thought he was a solid defender but not the type we'd for for i.e. not a ball player or high line kind of defender but an old school centre half.

    We could do worse, but admittedly Clarke-Salter seems a better prospect.

    Looks pretty alright tbh but would rather Clarke-Salter much like everyone else, with McKenna in also... or Mepham instead of Mckenna..(well a bhoy can dream can't he?)

    Played 10 games last year, in the last 12 months of his contract, and they * think they can get £8m for him. * the EPL.

    The thing is nowadays £8m is probably normal for a player like him.

    A lot of international caps and EPL experience. It's the going rate even with a year left. We got £6m for Armstrong with 12 months left coming from up here.

    We paid £7m for Jullien so if Rodgers wants this guy id imagine it could be a goer. Wage dependant.

    Reckon we could get better on the continent for that sort of price. CCV is the experienced head, would like a quick, powerful CB (black and French ideally) to partner him.

    Brendan’s record of black and French players stood us well :BR1:
    I reckon the post was slightly tongue in cheek

    They’ve just signed 2 centre backs. Boy from Juventus and close to signing the boy from Barca. Lost Lloyd Kelly in the summer so maybe the deal been in limbo until they replaced both Kelly and Mepham.

    Said in the thread last week that I thought he'd be the one we end up signing.

    Think he will end up here.
