He's a quality young CB. He would also cost an obscene amount of money, and is a LCB, like Martinez. Sure you can probably "make it work" with putting him at RCB, but is it really smart to start this new era off by spending a ridiculous amount of money because of English player tax on a player who doesn't suit literally the only safe long term player in our defence? Unless we think his injury has fecked him and we are replacing him (which we aren't).
I've gotta say, these links that have come out the past few months are all pretty dumb and just lack logic. Joao Neves? Sure let's spend 100m on a 19 year old who excels playing the exact same role as Kobbie Mainoo. Branthwaite? Sure let's spend 75m on a young CB to replace our youngest and best CB (who is a LCB only) while the others are all RCB's, 30+ years old, crocks, not good enough and need replacing. Olise as well, though at least the logic is sound there as in he'd just replace Antony who is shite. But Olise is falling into the same sort of trap as someone like Sancho for me and not appreciating the quality bar that you actually need to reach as an attacker for top clubs and he'd just be a squad player anyway.
