      CB needed.
      Madness that Lovren has a stat where he's never played 7 consecutive games without being injured.
      Can't rely on him and Matip as the main partner for Virgil.

      Who would be available though, it doesn't need to be the best CB in the world but needs to be someone solid, preferably used to the Prem and with a good injury record. Could we go poaching amongst the bottom of the table?

      Shar or Boly if you're looking for Premier League proven.

      Who would be a good cover just in case it goes tits up?

      Julian Weigl's agent has come out and said there is interest from Benfica & other clubs, and that he could move. Has filled in at CB for Dortmund this season.

      Surely, we could use his DM/CB versatility! And his contract expires in 2021. Could be a decent buy for a decent amount.

      not a bad shout, but he'd have to adapt to the Prem, I'd rather someone familiar with the Prem, an older safe pair of hands on loan perhaps.

      Milner is LB cover. Matip and Lovren will return soon so we don't need to panic buy.

      panic buy !! we have one fit CB how s that panic buying. Milner is cover nothing more he cant do the job Andy does.

      Agree.

      I get that Jürgen won't buy for the sake of it but we will have players scouted and I'd hate a run of injuries at the back to set us back.

      If we have someone lined up for the summer, which I'm guessing we will, I'd be trying to get any deal done now.

      Nathan Ake all day for me, can cover at LB, too.

      Thats a good shout, I'd pay a bit over the odds to get him as well, we simply can't afford to blow this chance at winning the Prem by not having enough cover at the back.

      Can't see us signing a centre back this coming window. We're in an unlucky spell where we've got two centre backs out and the first 'out of position' option is also injured. None of the injuries look season ending though so I think we'll ride it out.

      Given Lovren's unreliability though I think we'll move him on in the summer and bring one in.

      and what happens if Joe gets injured as well? Is it really worth taking the risk now that we have an excellent chance at winning the league?

      It's not "luck" when it happens two seasons in a row.
      Lovren can't sustain a run of 7 games without injury.
      At some point he needs to be replaced in the squad.

      We won’t be signing a CB - there are already 4 in the club plus three highly promising youngsters.

      Do you not think Hoever is promising then ? And are you really that person who judges a young footballer based on one game. Plank

      That's a bit unfair when Villa had a full strength first team out.

      I think they did pretty good in the second half.  I am more worried about our young goalie than CBs.

      I literally said Lovren needs to be replaced. I just don't see it happening in January.

      We've got four proper senior centre halves, one midfielder who has the height and attributes to do well at centre half and also a kid in Hoever who has already produced an assured display away at Wolves.  Yes we've got three injured at the minute but they'll be back soon and we'll be ok. I just think it's something out of Football Manager to be signing a centre back now who will more than likely be fifth choice in a few weeks time.
