So...this Ilori guy sounds like a 20 year old CB, plays for Sporting Lisbons B team (reserves). How this is an upgrade to Caulker I am unsure.

EDIT: he is tall, that is good. 1.90 m/ 6'3. *clutching at straws here, please help*

the recent ITK from JJ............I presume this guy is not really ready for the first team week in week out?

So getting Toby and him I presume would be the desired result?

i'm guessing Toby (not trying to write surname) would be the perceived upgrade on Caulker and Ilori would be the one for the future

Ilori would seem like a sensible signing. Young enough that he'll be happy to fight for his place and established enough that he can come in for the start of the season.

Mind you I'd take Ryan Nelsen at this point.

Tiago Ilori is massively rated and is thought of as one of the most promising young CBs in Europe! Would be good to get him in as 4th choice as he wouldn't demand a first team place straight away!

But how could he demand a first team place at all, since he hasn't even had his first team debut in Sporting?

Ilori eh?

Looks like a good option on the face of it, born in UK so hopefully won't be against moving here, Portuguese link to the manager (plus a couple of other Portuguese speakers in the ranks), young enough so that he is a player 'for the future' and so won't be too put out when Super Jan and Younes are both fit and playing ahead of him.

I must confess though I've never seen him play, anyone here actually know if this kid is any good?

Ok but we sold one prospect in Caulker (for good money and yes we know he wanted to leave if he couldn't get enough game time), but if we know have defensive issue why are we signing another future prospect?

Caulker could have slotted right in, experienced in the Premier League, no adaptation required and could fight to hold on to his place.

I have to hope that there are plenty of signs that Kaboul will recover well and soon and that Vertonghen/Dawson are not out for long, as otherwise i would be saying we need a new first 11 CB!!!

Eriksen eh... interesting. We have all assumed our midfield trio will be Sandro, Dembele and Paulinho... wonder if AVB wants only 2 of those as starters and a more creative player in an Eriksen to compliment?

Don't want to scare anyone. With the ITK yesterday that we are going to try and get another striker, my gf has just spotted Peter Crouch in London ;)

At first I thought it was "We are seriously considering Lloris..", number keys and letters went flying, what a waste of a keyboard ;)
