Cordoba and Samuel might not be ready for the season start, they are still getting over their injuries.
And about cordoba, he is far from worldclass anymore. He was the primary source of instability in defense in the first half year when we played decently last season. I believe someone posted who was responsible for the all goals scored against us up to around christmas and cordoba alone was responsible for more than half of them, he made ALOT of mistakes.
We also have Chivu and for the reserve, Burdisso AND Rivas is more than enough. Matrix should kicked out though, since he's been in a free fall in terms of form.
I understand that we'd be missing Cordoba & Samuel and maybe Chivu in the beginning of the season, but weighing the pros of having at least world class defender for the first couple of months of next season against the cons of having to deal with so many defenders for the rest of the season (And maybe years to come), I'd say we should skip signing Carvalho.
if we need another cb back dont waste money on carvalho get ferrari
