Hopefully he will cure the headaches we've had over our defence this season.

What is this craziness!!!
I was expecting pages of baseless speculation when I logged onto RAWK.
My hopes of tantalizing titillating transfer gossip have been dashed due to this confirmed transfer news.

A nice quick "operation".

Welcome to the club. I don't get excited by transfers until I see how they bed in to the side. Hopefully he will push Matip and Gomez as main partner to VVD.

If he can manage 15 consecutive games without an injury we might just have something.
It's true to say that if Shankly had told us to invade Poland we'd be queuing up 10 deep all the way from Anfield to the Pier Head.

We should be pushing Konate into midfield. And our midfielders into the forward positions.

I get Koulibaly vibes from that Youtube video someone posted on this thread.
Agree with this. He's bigger, and far more aerially dominant than Upamecano. He's also all about flying into tackles. Definitely more Koulibaly than VVD.

Nonsense. completely backwards.

Allison is the lone striker. the forwards have to move back to the midfield and the midfield needs to play defense. Konate and Vvd can rotate in goal. But trent can be a false 9.

That is the kind of versatility that Southgate is looking for. How else can England select TAA over the supremely talented James (whoever he is) and that tattooed bloke from Burnley?

The 2 in a 4231 usually play more centrally than that. I agree with the rest of it though.
