I think this is a good assessment. Maya and Stephens largely held their own without Van Dijk at the end of last season, so I think either partnering him, if he's back to his old self, will be strong, and we would struggle to buy better at a sensible price. Also true that we wouldn't keep 5 CBs. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

True. But he went up in value to the point where we failed to buy him. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

Did we or did we not improve them and sell for a profit? Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

I stand corrected. I thought he was RB, occasionally played on the left. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

Semedo isn't a CB. And all the players you mention developed at Saints to be that standard. They weren't the finished product when we bought them. And Stephens could well develop to be that good. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

Yes, but I think Stephens will challenge for the second spot. And there's the option of all three if we don't have a partner for Romeu and want to play three at the back. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

Agree with this. Both Stephens and Maya did a good job and I'll be happy with either alongside VVD. We don't need, and won't be buying another expensive and experienced CB. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

I don't think we'll add to midfield without letting some go. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk
