This sends a message to clubs hoping to cash in on our defensive crisis this month. Edwards won't be forced to pay a premium. We'll only do business if the terms are right. However, I'm hopeful the severity of our situation is taken into account.
We're reliant on our 3rd choice CB (Matip) who can't stay fit. VVD & Gomez both surely out for the season. Fabinho's excellence at CB offset by his absence in midfield. He's the best itw there, capable of dominating games for us. Not the same influence in defence.

Excellent thread on the huge tactical impact of playing our mids at CB.
