A new CB?

It can be hard to look good at that level. Quansah by most accounts was crap at Bristol Rovers but looked great for us. The attributes that we need in our defence are very different to those a team in League Two needs.
 
We can’t sign someone on the basis of “VVD could get injured”.

We sign someone because they’re good enough to play for Liverpool regardless of who’s injured.
If we can find a quality loan - we should still take that as an option - not a loan like last time. Anyway - how bad is Gomez's injury - if he is back in 3 to 4 weeks then there is no need.
 
I dont believe in signing a stop gap solution in all honesty. We should probably look to sign someone who can contribute going forward and not someone like Guehi who will be an expensive fourth choice.

Hato makes a ton of sense given that he can play LB and fill in at CB if needed. If not maybe a young CB that can come in and do a job if needed but also can go out on loan next season.

Valencia has a young kid, Gasirowksi, who is 6'3, Spanish U19 international who can play LB and CB, left footed.
Played 10 games in La Liga this season and is out of contract in 2025.

Someone with a bit versatility would be great to have on the bench.
 
It would be a blow for young Quansah if, after waiting all season for a chance, our first reaction to Konate and Gomez getting injured is too go out and buy a starting CB in January.
I'm sorry but ... do we prioritse his feelings over winning trophies? I don't give a monkeys about his feelings compared to the club. Harden up, life isn't a bed of roses.
We should do whatever we need to do to win as many trophies as possible this season, the PL and CL prime amongst them.
 
Oh. How the mighty have fallen. Wasn't he supposed to be real talent?

I don't recall him being that highly rated. Always looked like he was running in sand. It's still a hell of a drop off, though. Think most expected him to do alright in the Championship.

In contrast Quansah was smashing it in the England youth teams before stepping into the squad so carried a some higher pedigree.

Exactly.

Remember this shit:

“So obviously it’s a shame what happened to Joel, my condolences go with him.

“But my idea was to try and get over him anyway, try and be a starting centre-back in the Premier League at the end of the day.
 
I think I found the CB, not for January, but maybe in the summer.
Yeah it's a boring pick I guess, probably been mentioned here several times, but he ticks all the boxes imo ( left footed too).

Nico Schlotterbeck from Dortmund.
Won't be cheap but I think he's the guy.

We are just a talking shop, Hughes and FSG decide if we dip into the transfer market and history tells us they only react to the following window. Do you remember how bad we were when we started moving MFs to defence? I would rather they recall Nat Philips or get players on loan. But... our track records on loans are, Melo and Kabak. One was injured when we got him in and the other got injured half after a handful of games.
We are so close to 20 equalling Man Us record title overhaul but I can see injuries to our suspect (as they are injury prone) defence derailing it

It's not about feelings, it's about playing him to get him into form. He knows the drills, patterns and his teammates. Someone new will take weeks to get it right, by that time Gomez should be back.

What are you on about bro? The conversation is about Q. being butt hurt IF we buy another CB in January, to bring our of auora or CBs up to 5.

Oh, hell no. He's most definitively not!

I'd rather we take Jonathan Tah from Leverkusen on a free transfer.
