Can a B team CB step up against RM or Atletico if Pique and Umtiti are injured/suspended? A 4th CB should be able to play any game, including CL knockouts.

If both Pique and Umtiti are injured we are screwed anyway. Fairly unlikely to happen same time as well. As long as we have backup for one of them,I think it's fine.

Two CBs being suspended or injured is not unlikely IMO. We need to be prepared.

 

[Barcaman]

He's right footed and that would make it 3 out of 4 so Valverde went for Verminator.

I am sad for the kid but maybe he'd benefit from a loan.

 

[Messi983]

According to MD he's close to join Nice on loan, it could be official today.

Don't like this. If it would help us to get Seri then I'd be ok but now I'd prefer a loan to La Liga team.

 

[Lelouch vi Britannia]

Yerry Mina's coming in January right? Looks like he'll be 4th choice for the season.

 

[Messi983]

Wouldn't mind Mina coming already now if it's possible. No rumours about that though.

I just don't trust Vermaelen. He could be a solid 4th CB option if he could stay on the pitch for more than 3-5 games in the season but we all know he can't.

The club is probably interested more in an option for Sarr.

First team football in Ligue1 would be great for Marlon. But we need a 4th option. Suddenly Inigo for less than Paulinho was a great signing.

 

[DonAK]

So we'll loan him to Nice after they fucked us over with Seri?

Brilliant.

 

[mia7007]

Why to Nice?
And not to any Liga teams like Girona, Las Palmas...

Isn't Mina out for 3 months due to injury?

Brilliant.

if it wasnt worse enough we're letting him go so we could keep mr "i passed my medical"

Maybe we'll go again after Inigo.

Sarr could be interesting as that CB/LB type we were apparently looking for so if we can get first option on him I'll take it.

Isn't Mina out for 3 months due to injury?

I know he is/was injured but don't know for how long he'll be out. Still, we could bring him now and let him adapt to the club/city until he recovers so we can count on him in second half of the season.

Apparently he's being sent on a two year loan with an option to buy at 20 million and we have a buyback clause on it if he gets bought.

if I read that correctly.

Edit: Actually it goes like this.

Marlon will be sent out on loan for two seasons.

First year we can recall him back

Second year Nice have the option to buy him at 20 million euros.

 

[Devils]

This could be very good for his development and he will be under an good manager. Hopefully he gets plenty playing time.

Best case scenario is he blows up this season and we recall him next year.

Verm's hamstrings better hold on for at least the next 4 months until we can get Yerry in January.
