Any CB that is spectacular on the ball will always be deemed higher value. 

As far as defensively, not sure who is better. Gvardiol is likely the Silva replacement at sweeper and CB.

I am not sure about this to be honest.

Colwill has a lot of potential, no getting away from that, but we were going to let him go permanently and did an about face last minute to get a loan deal done. Since then he has only featured fleetingly for Brighton. The lower leagues are full of coulda, woulda, shoulda's that had great potential but never realised it.

Gvardiol on the other hand is playing week in week out, competing on the domestic and european stage. He has been feted by some of the best teams in Europe and we ourselves went in heavily for him.

Notwithstanding any of these points with Fofana's imjury and the attrition taht Silva and possibly Kouli will feel during the season, we should probably be looking at both players 

 
Matt Law in the London is Blue Podcast stated that we are still trying to bring in Gvardiol. Either as a double deal with Nkunku or separate. 

Nkunku deal almost complete according to Romano.

As much as I like him I think this is one we should leave with everything else that needs to be done.

Colwill can slot straight into that area in my opinion.

 
I really hope a deal can be done, even if we pay and they keep him until the summer.

 
Best defensive performance I've seen all tournament, he looks a top player already at 20 years old.

You can never have enough defenders especially with managers who want to play 5 at the back. Heard Gvardiol can cover at RCB also 🤣

It feel like we are playing Pokémon with CB 😂😂

Silva

Chalobah

Fofana, koulibaly, even cucu is more of lcb/lb than a lwb. 

We will get colwill back next season and we still want to sign another CB 🤪🤪

You really got to catch them all.

At this moment, but not so much going forward.

Silva will likely leave at the end of the season. His original reasons for joining us was to win the Champions League and play for Brazil in one more world cup, he's done both now. I wouldn't be surprised if he returns to Brazil to finish his career, like he intended to do. I'm all for keeping him here if he wants to stay, but I can't see it happening.

I don't rate Koulibaly. I think his legs have gone and he is a disaster up against players that are nimble. He will need replacing much sooner than we would have liked. If we bring in Gvardiol, I wouldn't even be bothered if he was sold before next season starts, even more so if Colwill is as good as everybody is saying he is.

Fofana still has everything to prove for me, I don't even rate him higher than Chalobah right now. He may have a higher ceiling than Chalobah, but at this moment, he's still all potential.

Cucurella has been terrible at CB, I don't want him playing there anymore to be honest and James should be playing every game RB/WB.

Fofana, Gvardiol, Chalobah, Colwill. There is great potential in that.

None of them are on a par with gvardiol based on that performance he gave yesterday. (Discounting Silva as the expiry date on him).

 
A defender who defends first and foremost, we should throw everything we have to get him.
