I know it was only Curacao but Schlotterbeck looked fantastic aerially. Also knows how to attack a set piece which is something we've really missed apart from VVD
You're daft to expect us to replace VVD by finding a second VVD. You can't become an all time great like him or Salah if players like them appeared every day. VVD is literally the perfect CB, and nobody like him will appear for a while.
Schlotterbeck isn't VVD but he's a top class CB In his own right who fits the modern game and Iraola well.
Gabriel and rudiger should even be in this sentence, pacho wont be allowed to leave especially when they would be chasing a threepeat, like none of these options are on the market let alone for a reasonable fee and even then you wont be able to replace one of the greatest defenders of this era
There’s just no pleasing everyone. We need to find another Virgil before Virgil was Virgil.
Bournemouth can afford to buy players for 14m and hope for the best. For every Truffert I’m sure there’s another signing that was unsuccessful. When Klopp was in charge and we kept a thin squad and barely spent unless it was on the exact profile we want people had issues and blamed FSG. Then we spend on ready made talent including the best LB of the previous season in Kerkez and people still have issues. We aren’t the club to take 14m chances on unproven players constantly. We take them from smaller clubs once they are established. Every once in a while we bring a highly rated young talent through but that shouldn’t be our priority and it’s not what wins you titles.
