For a few games last season we were so short of options that we were playing Davies, sixth choice, at CB. Taking that group of defenders, we'd be selling Toby Trippier and Rose (3/4 of our first choice options from last season) and replacing them with... one hugely talented teenager who's never played in defense at the Premier League level.
I just don't see how we can sell three of our starting defenders from last season and not replace them with a single signing who is ready to step in and play. We were already stretched a bit thin. It seems a near certainty that Foyth is the Trippier replacement, so for me if Toby goes then we've got to replace him with a new signing.
We've put a £30m bid in for a cb.
