Have Lenglet, Umtiti, Dembele, Gruezmann etc all been signed since Eric Abidal has been in his role? I think so.
Upamacano is understandable then.

I didn't ask you but cheers.
Have you?They haven't, hilarious how many people are pretending to know him. I gotta say he is fantastic on the ball and physically great but defensively don't think he's anything special. For 40M or so I think you go for him but like you said a Saliba Upa partnership won't get us anywhere next season.
The player has a decision to make. Virtually guaranteed playing time or bench warming in Spain. If we match the price, we're not out of this race. Throw in Mustafi for free as well as Medley on loan if we have to. If he lives up to his hype, with Saliba, this will be the best CB partnership we've had since Campbell/Toure.
For me Joe Gomez is probably the 2nd best CB in the league after VVD, but it’s taken him nearly 4 years to reach this level after Liverpool signed him from Charlton where he was touted as a future England international. He also had the benefit of developing under Klopp and in a strong team.
I just think guys like Saliba and Upa you write off for 2/3 years once you sign them, it’s still a big development phase at their ages.
I hear you but on an individual basis and as a pair, there weren't the significant deficiencies Kos and Per had. Campbell and Toure were a level above.Easy now, we had a damn fine one after this that shouldn't be dismissed too quickly...
...before wining the heavyweight title, you have to win the intercontinental title
Love me some Joe Gomez but he’s not even a nailed on starter? I still think Laporte edges him for me.For me Joe Gomez is probably the 2nd best CB in the league after VVD, but it’s taken him nearly 4 years to reach this level after Liverpool signed him from Charlton where he was touted as a future England international.
