League is very weak
Ship has sailed now. But the money he would’ve cost we’ve wasted on trash anyway - Mustafi, Sokratis, Luiz, Mari etc.Would like Lewis Dunk tbh good player although he is 29

Our defensive recruitment has been historically bad. Djourou, Senderos, Cygan, Squillaci, Mustafi, Sokratis, etc..Ship has sailed now. But the money he would’ve cost we’ve wasted on trash anyway - Mustafi, Sokratis, Luiz, Mari etc.
Who do we go for then? Another foreign player who is either inexperienced or will have to adapt to the PL?
We have young players and talent. What we need is some players who are experienced but not past it. Partey and Dunk would be good solid purchases for the next 3-4 years.
By then other younger players have developed.
We arent attracting nor paying for a 60/70m defender.
VVD is 5 months older than Dunk. I dont hear too many Liverpool fans complaining. You would get 3-4 good years out of him.
My point was that as Brighton have Ben White back from loan they may feel a decent offer for Dunk could be worth taking.
Also they have expressed an interest in AMN who I would keep however if he says I want to leave Arsenal then it could be a decent swap. We do lose a useful squad player but gain a solid PL proven defender who's captain of his team. Put that in beside Saliba and you may have a good defence with Partey in front.
I'm sick of signing defenders who are unproven in the PL.
Vickery didn’t rate Luiz as a defender. From what I remember.Wonder if Tim Vickery rates Big Dave.
VVD is also 100x better than Dunk ffs.
No matter what point you make we shouldn't be going near Dunk he is simply not good enough
I'm not convinced with Mari tbh. Havent seen him play much but looks to slow but thats the thing, why sign him permanently when he hasn't played much
He done OK playing against Salah, Frimino & Mane in the club World Cup.
I don’t know anything about him either, he could be Paolo Maldini. I’m just going by his CV and the 2/3 looks we’ve had of him.
His CV says he is 27 and done absolutely nothing in top flight football. Physically looks like he plays in treacle.
Mari deal was always a permanent transfer. A friend knows one of the lawyers who worked on the transfer. We probably did it that way for accounting reasons.I'm not convinced with Mari tbh.

But still no justification of signing him on a permanent basis. We could've got better optionsYou’re going on like Mari has been playing in the Azerbaijani second division. He’s been a key player in a highly successful Brazilian club side which won the Copa Libertadores and pushed Liverpool all the way in the World club Cup final playing under one of the best European football coaches around.
Well put forward a name. Put your neck out on the line and give me an experience CB who we should sign who will strengthen us.
My point about VVD wasnt about ability. It was about age. If Dunk is too old so is VVD.

We have a CB and CM for around 55m + AMN.

That's one game. Based on 1 game Holding is world class (Chelsea 2017), Luiz is world class (City FA cup). Probably Senderos had 1 lethal game for us.
Hes been a professional football for years and hasnt made much of a name for himself.

That suggests we signed Mari as a starter, if not then it means we signed someone specifically to be a backup. Which is stupid.
Why is signing someone to be a backup stupid?
