Why do we seem to be interested in Vietto when the only position we don't seem concerned about is CB? I find this very confusing.

I think they will be concerned about CB position but aren't going to air that publicly. Any club we try and get a player from will demand a higher fee. It's not just CB we need thought, we need a new creative player and Vietto could be a great addition to cover that space or play of the striker.

We're almost definitely on the hunt for a new CB. We kept the signing of Lemina quiet, I would imagine we are doing the same here. The trouble is the negotiations that are probably taking place. If we sell VVD for 60m then whoever we try to sign the clubs will be like we want X for this player because they know that we will need the CB and have the cash. This is why we are seeing rumours for a 30m rated Ben Gibson.

We've been linked to three cb's?

Would quite like Vietto, although I wouldn't say he's an upgrade on Gabbi. Unless we plan on playing 2 up front I'd say we're fine up front with Gabbi/ Austin depending what type of striker we want and then long and Gallagher.

Vietto seems a good player but if we sign him surely either him or Gabbi will just get lost in the shuffle and won't reach his potential. I think if we sign a striker it should be a youngster who'd accept a smaller role rather than a reclamation project who needs game time now.
