2023/2024 Defenders Rumours Thread

[brehme1989]

I like Buongiorno and Tah from that list. Tah I believe could come on a free in 2025. He might be looking to move on if Xabi Alonso leaves.

I like Scalvini and Schuurs the most. Buongiorno looks good but I wouldn't pay 40m.

Scalvini needs more development. He’s just not a good defender yet. Schuurs would be fine as well.

 

[IL Fenomeno]

With which money will we afford Schuurs or Scalvini?

 

[Choppin Onions]

Schuurs was a force until that bad injury sustained against us. He was dominating that game too. We only did something after he went off.

 

[CafeCordoba]

Yeah, we need to look for free agents, not these 30-40m rated players.

If Inzaghi wants to keep all the players (meaning doesn't want the club to sell any players with significant value), that's the wish the club should fulfil.

We should stay away from ACL players unless he is cheap enough to gamble. And Schuurs is far from that.

Player isnt as good as he was. Chiesa and Djalo are evidence.

Tah's also a middle CB in Leverkusen's back-3, which is the area we need to address in the longer-term. It's a logical fit. The only annoying thing is that he'll nearly be 30 by the time he'd be a prospective free transfer.

All those other names...unless we finally come into money and can begin to invest without needing to sell (or selling without being able to properly buy), those names don't register to me because we're not in position to get them. I can say Yoro in particular has already been linked with PSG and Real Madrid, so read that tweet and then forget about him, that one definitely isn't happening.

Buongiorno for me. I really liked Schuurs, but i don’t know how he recovered. Scalvini seems more of a rcb in our system and isn’t ready yet. Hato is a big talent but nowhere ready to play Serie A football. Doukhi isn’t good enough. Tah I really don’t know good enough.

 

[Alex de Large]

Tah is rumored to come for free in 2025 summer i suppose? otherwise Leverkusen would ask crazy amount for him after winning Bundesliga.

Sounds like a perfect transfer for us doesn’t it? 30 isn’t a problem for a player in that position of our system if they’re a good professional. It’s actually the perfect age. Top teams still need experience.

and Tah Jonathan also has huge loads of first starter XI experiences with Leverkusen, Hamburg, and Germany NT. Know three backs formation too.

If they're looking for cbs in Bundesliga Lacroix of Wolfsburg would also be a good shout.

Also Doekhi looks solid but he's more of a rcb.

Hamburg? Wow. That was a long time ago Kudos for remembering it.

We can always bench him for a year or two until he ripens to the perfect age

 

[Corrode]

no. maximize and utilize him since first day he arrive. shouldn't waste money for sending him onto the bench.

Not for nothing, but if Tuttosport told me I had 10 fingers, I'd look down at my hands and count just to be sure.

Kids are too young.

Out of this list Buongiorno looks to be the perfect signing.

Interesting target, a technical wingback.
