I believe I might in all probability settle for both of Trevoh Chalobah or Marc Guehi coming in whether it is genuinely unattainable to signal a prime new centre again this window and we then comply with that up with signing mentioned prime centre again in the summertime, somebody within the ilk of a Ruben Dias only for instance [even if I do see that as near impossible even then].
However should you requested me my selections of latest centre backs I need on this month to assist enhance what we’ve obtained, neither Chalobah or Guehi could be that top on my checklist.
I like each gamers, don’t get me mistaken, and I’d sooner have Guehi over Chalobah. However none of them are actually what we genuinely want again there. We want an aggressive, aerially and floor dominant, chief of a centre again with prime expertise. One with confidence to come back in and organise your entire group from the again, is vocal all recreation whether or not we’re successful or shedding, and an all-rounder who is nice at defending and passing out from the again.
Niether Chalobah or Guehi tick all of these containers. Guehi does have management qualities and is a stable and first rate defender, however he isn’t fully what we want for my part. I do like that he’s a present captain although and has good Premier League and worldwide expertise.
As I say, I’d not be in opposition to the signing Guehi or recalling Chalobah as they’re each a lot better than Axel Disasi and Tosin Adabrabioyo, and I’d decide them each over Benoit Badiashile as nicely. So for my part, they’d enhance what we have already got. However by way of elevating this squad and pushing us ahead again in direction of difficult on the prime once more, they aren’t the reply. The one approach I’d be content material with both of them is that if we adopted that up with a Dias-like centre again signing as quickly because the summer season window opens.
Respectable choices for positive, however removed from the very best choices for my part.
