Ramos or bust is patently untrue. All of last summer and this we chased Hummels. But for a change in manager, he might well have come.. Both captains, loads of top level experience and some of the best ball playing CBs around, I'd wager that is the exact profile LVG was looking for. Ties in with a few journos saying we were never really interested in NO.. Worth remembering back in Jan, Smalling was still Nanified. He gradually stepped up and became the defender defender of the CB pairing. That could explain our NO interest back then but not anymore.. Hummels said he was staying in May and it was definitive. Any links to him dried up immediately. We were supposedly interested in Otamendi but the club vehemently denied it. We've been told to be kept informed of Stones but haven't moved. It certainly looks like Ramos or bust.

It certainly looks like Ramos or bust. Didn't convey my point all that well It wasn't always a case of Ramos or nothing as many fans are claiming. Ramos links started cropping up what, late Jun? A world class player potentially becoming available changes things but all of a sudden I don't expect the club to drop interest in Otamendi altogether. Considering NO is a different breed of defender to Ramos, gotta wonder was he ever in LVGs plans. Perhaps we were sure of Hummels and once he decided to stay put, LVG didn't rate any other realistic targets enough and decided on Blind instead.

STayed in the same hotel we were in last-night.
Mostly meaningless, but interesting if there was any 'mingling'.

So who should be our main target at CB now? Very limited options out there...

when phil jones comes back it will be like a new signing... until he's injured again. he's actually more like a recurring emergency loan.
