I was slightly tongue in cheek Rich - but 2 CB's isn't too bad a shout. We've got some numbers but we're seriously lacking some quality.
If we're serious about improving our defence of course... Chambers, Holding, and Mavro aren't there yet - hopefully this season two of the three make the step up, consistently - or at least one does. Having an old/er, EPL exp defender "like" a Gaz Cah in for a season (or 2) in the same role that we had Per doing would be useful for those 15/20 games, and even more so at London Colney... it's not like we have a great injury record... as it stands we have one experienced, first team starting quality CB - and he's not exactly world class.
I don't see Monreal as CB cover... on the bench, sure, in the occasional/inevitable injury created emergency, sure - but not with any regularity. And if he is, why have we got so many young CB's? Surely we'd be better to shift one or two and reinvest?
I'm unconvinced/concerned by the CB's we've been linked to. Juve aren't going to let Rugani go if he's any good - so what are his flaws, and how will they impact the way UE wants to play? Upamecano looks the goods - but again, he's a young 'un who'll take some time to develop. Surely there's a decent mid-late 20's EPL-experienced CB we can pickup from a "lesser" club? We can offer them some Euro(pa league) football too :p
But that aside, we really need a left defender/wing back... and possibly some decent cover for Hector; who'd better not be bought back too soon.
But meh... we're gonna win 9-8!!!
