And we need a new CB, even if Konate signs a new contract

Aye, worth noting that we've been in for Yorro and Colwill in the time we've had an established first choice partnership too.

Has everyone written off Quansah completely? Had a bad start and hasn’t played much this season but he looked very promising last year.

Yes, I have, but don't listen to me, I thought Gravenberch was sh*te too.

nah - there's a player there for sure. I guess some of it is how a particular manager wants to use them / play. He defo looked a lot better with Klopp as manager than Slot but he's also very young

Regardless of outgoings we definitely need another CB. VdV is the only one with reliable fitness so, at best, we’re constantly running out of fit partners to play alongside him. We can’t maintain a situation where around 2 of our 4 are out injured at any one time.

To be fair Grav was s***e in his early days. Equally doesn’t mean all s***e turns to gold.

I'd sell Quansah if it meant getting someone genuinely class in, yeah. It's complicated by the fact Gomez is bona fide injury prone, but I don't really see it in him anymore.

But the point above about him looking better under Klopp than Slott is fair. But not sure that's really a style thing. He doesn't look at all ready to properly deputise VVD or Konate atm.

Disagree slightly - he looked very good at both CB and RB this season when he was fit. But he wasn't fit often enough 

[YugoB]

I think Gomez is better off at RB now than he is as CB, for me he hasn't been good there consistently for a while.

Gomez? The 'don't see it in him anymore' in my post was about Quansah.

I just meant selling Quansah with Gomez being so unreliable makes it tricker. Gomez is much better than Quansah, but, personally, I'd sell them both and get in two good, more robust players.

I think he means he doesn't see it in Quansah but its complicated by Gomez's ongoing injuries.
