Quoting limited to 3 levels deep
Jozo was linked to the likes of Burnley in the summer for around £8-10m. Boyata was linked with Atleti in jan for around £8-10m in Spain. Our job would be to find better than them if we sold them, obviously. I don't think it would be easy to sign a couple of defenders to come in and be better than them.
For clarity, you don't think we could get better than those 2 for 18m pounds? :rubeyes:
I don't think it would be as easy as it sounds to sign two better. I want us to improve and be competitive in the later stages of the Europa League, or make a fist of it in getting to the last 16/8 of the Champions League. One of the main attributes required for our centre backs is pace, due to playing a high line. I think it'll be difficult to sign two centre backs with pace, that also have their height and strength. Our defensive record is decent overall, and in the hammerings we took in Europe this season that seriously distort the figures negatively(and rightfully) they only played together once. That is why I say their fitness is my main concern with them because they simply miss too much football and take a game or two to get up to speed. A fully fit Boyata and Simunovic are both decent players.

If Rodgers wants to play out from the back and do it in quite an open way he needs to bin boyata. He’s just not good enough with the ball.

Only reason I can think of why he is starting at the moment is so he makes the Workd Cup and increases his value to be sold this summer?

We must not offer this guy a new contract. If we could get rid of him for nothing at the end of the season it would be a better bit of business than VVD.

Surely him starting and being quite pish neither improves his chances of featuring in the WC, nor increases his value - and also surely big Deds must be fairly peripheral when it comes to the Belgian team, even if defence is not their strong point.

or am i missing a joke here

Can only think he's in the team because of his physical attributes. Similar to BR's preference for Sakho at Liverpool. Generally, most defenders who are good on the ball are slow whilst the faster ones are usually not. Those who have it all are few and far between like VVD.

Even when he's about to deliver a square pass along our 18 yard line, with no opposing forwards in the vicinity, he scares the crap out of me. He's hopeless.
