Never said he wasn't or that he wasn't an upgrade to Lovren the question was can he handle the qualifiers if VVD doesn't come until the end of the window.
Think your being a tad harsh on Dejan mate, there is no doubt VVD is superior to Lovren but Lovren has done ok for us to be fair, ok, he's subject to a brain fart or two but tell me who hasn't, i'm all for a Matip/VVD partnership of course, but like all other positions we need two capable of performing at the level we will be playing at, i would doubt that even the best of the best won't err when under severe pressure,
we're going to be playing many more games than we did last season, so we're going to be needing players like Lovren to come in to cover without too much disruption, also, this is healthy competition for the squad, knowing one F**k up could mean a spell plucking splinters from their arse cheeks, bearing this in mind will have the players playing at their optimum, and running thru those proverbial brick walls.
