Evening Ed, are we considering Riccardo Calafiori?
{Ed002's Note - Riccardo Calafiori (CB/LB) Bayer Leverkusen and Chelsea have a declared interest but he is not first choice for either although Chelsea may well look to two additions and push for the player. Newcastle interest has gone. Spurs, Bayern Munich and Brighton have sent scouts but Juventus has held a number of discussions with Bologna and are offering cash and a part exchange. They will also have an edge because of Motta although Bologna have now secured CL football they insist they do not need to sell their prime assets. A wildcard may be Real Madrid. Liverpool have shown no interest that I am aware of and have very specific targets of their own.}

There’s always an Italian player linked every year for inflated prices then goes to Juventus for 25m haha.
{Ed014's Note - that and Chelsea buying anything that moves! ?

I wonder will the chavs buy my mrs, I only asked her to cut the grass and clean the windows and she blew a gasket.
{Ed014's Note - quite likely mate no doubt for in excess of £50 million too!

Their team is much younger now though. They don't need medical staff with experience caring for geriatrics.

Based solely off youtube videos he looks strong but slow.
More dog than cat. Carries well.
Will plug the left back hole and provide competition/ rotation for Gabriel.
Likely makes Kiwior surplus to requirement.

I thought Kiwior showed well whenever he played. Would be a shame to lose him.

Agreed Sharpey but I think the team is at the stage now where anyone not immediately trying to usurp Gabriel (or Timber) is probably going to be moved on. Kiwior is a good deputy but it seems like Arteta doesn't see him as a viable alternative yet. I imagine it's a bit like Pep playing 4 CBs in constant rotation, with Stones, Diaz, Ake Akanji all a good bet to play any given game.
