If your including Ake in that 4 then Max is already better than him, but im sure Pepe and Jurgen not to mention others have made a mental note of him, £50 million should be the opening bids given his age and Nationality, young English players are at a premium.
Yeah but why would he spend massive money on a 4th CB?
From what Bruno has said about Boly he's not been a viable option.
Klopp has 4 better CBs but Chelsea big ones. Losing potentially two on frees in the summer
Absolutely Spot On MW !
I gotta agree. He's been fantastic.
Hard to disagree with that opinion.
Ha ha Jos, you don’t half post some crap - The man’s a bloody amateur - no one can touch our own clued up pundit/ ex player

I feel a bit dirty now
Agree 100 percent. He's been a complete revelation.
Yes he was a very good player last season. I said so at the time, I picked him as the player most likely to breakthrough in pre-season and I pointed out that he was absolutley superb in the away game at Man U last season when everyone seemed to focus on one minor slip which just so happened to lead to an unfortunate goal. He was striding out the defence and playing it forward superbly in that game and his temperament always has been supeb. I could hardly believe he was being described as slow and weak becuase he was never either of thise things. He just needed someone to give him a run and the Boly and Mosquera injury meant Bruno had no choice but to play him. Otherwise i fully expect he would have been having the same experience as Gibbs White or Ait Nouri this season. So there you go... I told you so. And I am saying the same about Gibbs White: he should have been in our team this season and if he isnt given the chance next seaspn we will come to seriously regret it.
I agree I would rather him go un-noticed at this point but it just illustrates the bias towards the London based clubs again. Max has been sensational this season and despite being naturally left footed he’s performing fantastic on the right side. Long may it continue and let’s build our next defensive line around Max.
I was one of the detractors last season. I remembered his mistakes. This season he has been absolutely fantastic though. So composed yet, as another poster has mentioned, do dominant against the Mitrovic type strikers against whom we have habitually struggled
None of those should be anywhere near the England squad. It’s only because they play for London teams.
Shocking to see them choose 5 london based players isn’t it? All decent players of course, but no-one there is exactly what you’d call a must pick? As CB’s, have Chalobah and Guehi really been better than Kilman has this season? They must both be some defenders if they have?
Eze was in the squad for the run up to the 2020 Euros, after a very good season, seems to have done fine again, whilst Bowen has been in a rich form for as long as West Ham has been doing well. Toney looks a nod back, has a good pedigree and seems more held back in terms of stats by the rest of his team than otherwise, remember last season he destroyed goal scoring records. Guehi has been decent for Palace and would be on for a place considering he has gone through the whole setup and continuity is always liked.
Eze has played 2 games this season. Bowen is a good player but not better than the other options available.
