Yet both those players get virtually no playing time when Pique and Umtiti are healthy. Same with Semedo and Digne.
Didn't Verm perform extremely well when Umtiti was out injured? Was Mina not signed under EV's time as manager? Yet he freezes these players out.
EV doesn't seem to be very interested in using back-up players and that's not just at CB. We have enough players and quality to cover the defence, why give our manager another 30m to spend on another CB wen he is already not using his current options.
I wouldn't trust EV to spend 30m on a back-up player.
By same logic you won't trust him in signing any player.
EV gave Deulofeu and Paulinho minutes and they were signed to be back up players, Vermaelen got injured many times when the other two were healthy.
