Cannot see this happening without bringing in another CB. It does not look like Kaboul will ever return to form.

Yeah, anyone out suggests to me, someone incoming. I thought since last summer, Moreno would be the next CB signed, but that's gone quiet recently. Ezequiel Munoz was suggested recently, could just be the argentine link, could just be he's out of contract this summer, but I'm sure I read quotes we were interested.

I'm more worried about the RB situation if he leaves, to be honest. Dier, Fazio and Vertonghen are as good as we can hope to get at CB, but with games coming thick and fast, Walker will need some rest.
And I'd hate to break Diers mojo by making him embarrass himself at RB anymore.

Hi 'Phantom'. Why does it look like Kaboul will never return to form? I.m.h.o. he is worth keeping as cover, at least for the rest of the season.

Its ok we have 2 kyle walkers at the club :) your right but we do have fredrricks (on loan) KWP and Yedlin as well who are all talented but lack exp. I would be more worried about CB and CF

Verts, Dier, Fazio, Kaboul..... Capoue could probably fill a void in an emergency.

I think we can afford to let him go.

Yedlin.

Maybe we think one of the youngsters might be ready for a backup place. CCV?

He looks devoid of confidence to me and he doesn't look like he will get much opportunity to gain it back. He probably expects to be partnering Jan whereas I think Vlad may be a bit more accepting of a squad role.

At the end of the day neither are starters but although Vlad has his crazy moments he looks like he could be the better option as a backup. Also Kaboul has a bit of a patchy injury record.

Verts, Dier, Fazio, Kaboul..... Capoue could probably fill a void in an emergency.

I don't think Capoue has played well at CB when we have seen him there. I would prefer to have an actual CB in that position.

We have been playing a lot of games and still have European football, it would only take one serious injury to Faz, Dier or Jan for that line up to look a bit weak to me. Lets not forget how relatively inexperienced Dier is.... Although personally I prefer him to Faz (depending on who we are against).

Vlad is very versatile. I prefer him as cover at RB but he can do a job at CB and probably as a DM as well. Would prefer Kaboul gone by a long way.

Would much rather keep Vlad than Kaboul. But then I guess no one else wants Kaboul, either.

Thinking about this transfer window I reckon we don't necessarily need anyone. We might as well see the season out with what we have Chiriches can cover two position ie right back and centre back we might as well hold fire until end of season.

Who we could let go having no ill effects to squad.
Kaboul
Lennon
Capoue
One of Ade or Soldado

Prob missed someone else.
