Both Arsenal and Everton are taking a while to gets things over the line, I imagine a lot of it is legal wrangling and who gets paid what. Like everything in life.
I'd prefer to see it done proactively given the importance of our campaign. Really I'd spend proper money on that going for a clear first choice partner to VVD now and move Lovren on once convenient. We need that consistency and a defender we can count on to stay fit. All three of the current support defenders have regular injury troubles and whilst I've hoped Joe G would be that I don't trust it enough now to say just bring in another 4th choice Ragnar klavan type squad filler. We would be so exposed if VVD gets injured or suspended.
Alisson out for 7/8 games. Hardly had 2 fit CB's all season. Fabinho having a lengthy spell out. And now Gini out. Lfc 10 points clear at the top
Man City fans like......But but but Laporte
They shouldn't be allowed to earn this kind of money for kicking a ball around a field mate, it's obscene ..for me, no player should get more than 10k a week then clubs could lower ticket prices to £10 a game
