If Virg leaves, which is a big possibility, we will be left with Ibou and Quansah, both of whom have not nailed down the position yet.
If we can't even find a new CB to bed in this season, what is the likelihood of us finding 2 the next, one of whom have to ideally come in and dominate straight away?
It makes little sense to keep kicking the can down the road and pretend everything is going to work out just fine.
