Very good passer apparently.
I dont want Mandi. Please dont sign any 'maybe' players at CB. Lets just sign the sure thing and be done with that position for the foreseeable future. Rather than finding ourselves in the same position again in 2 years after having a shocking defence again

Van Dijk was once a maybe player, as was Koscienly.
Is a ‘sure thing’ at centre back really within our budget?

Who's a 'sure thing' CB we could sign?
I dont get paid to know the availability or price of good CBs but there are some out there, I'm so sick of signing average defenders. With positions like attack or even midfield you can find gems but at CB we need a dominant experienced playerWho's a 'sure thing' CB we could sign?
Then we went on and signed Gabriel instead.Funny thing, I remember well when Arsenal was linked with Van Dijk in 2015. He was openly excited about possibly moving to Arsenal. But fan reaction to the possibility was quite mixed. A lot of people thought he must not be that good if he played for Celtic in an inferior league. In fact (and I won't call anyone out on this) there are several who still post here regularly who did not want him when he was linked from Southampton in 2017.
Of course as we know now from Celtic assistant coach John Collins, Arsenal turned down the opportunity to sign him in '15 because they thought he was too "nonchalant."
I didnt say we need a VVD quality signing though. Just not another player in the 20-30m range who is actually a big risk at that price. You end up shelling big money for someone who sits on that wage and doesnt add enough, we have experienced this issue enough timesVan Dijk was once a maybe player, as was Koscienly.

Would fit in well being undersized for the position & right footed.
Let me guess he is also a bit **** at defending?
