Check the everton site ed says potentially up to 4 CBS leaving in the summer meaning a full rebuild in the position I imagine the 4 leaving would be:

Evans
Maguire
Lindelof
Varane

Leaving just licha, based on this I would like us to look at inacio although I've also seen ed say arsenal have made a bid that's been/ expected to be rejected form him on the Liverpool page

If we cannot get him I would look to Branthwaite everyone are in trouble we may be able to get a good deal off them not sure if there's a possibility for January?

Antonio Silva first choice for the right side but will be mega money Chelsea apparently made an offer of cash plus a player hopefully he's still available for summer and we can get this done.

With licha Branthwaite/ inacio for lcb it the options I've heard for rcb are obviously Todibo but I doubt ineos really want to go straight into nice, and the other option I've seen is Leny Yoro he's young but seems to have a bright future not sure on cost may be significant.

Anyone heard any other names? anyone any of the eds could suggest?

Two should be enough, I'd want to see kambwala given a chance, I've been impressed every time he's played plus do we early want to spend all the transfer kitty on 3 centre backs?

Re:RCB other names mentioned are that of Marc Guehi, Giorgio Scalvini and Fikayo Tomori.

Lindelof has had his contract extended until 2025.

Utd only recently extended Lindelof's contract. We need at least 4-5 centrebacks, he's a solid backup in my opinion. I reckon we'll end up with two new players in the position, maybe one a starter.

I can only see 2 of them going, likely Maguire and Varane with Evans, and Lindelof staying with Martinez. However I would not be surprised if the stubborn Maguire stays.
Hopefully they will try and bring through kambwala over the next 12 months.
Incomings I think will be Todibo, yes there may not be a desire for Ineos to look like they are taking from Nice but he will be leaving in the summer to go somewhere so assuming they like the player it would only make sense that we try and bring him in. Also, maybe one other more up and coming CB.

Branthwaite is very raw at the moment and i don't think he would be good enough. Especially when you take in to consideration that Everton will probably want an absolute shed load of money for him because he is young and English.
There are better centre backs around than him.

Potentially up to four is the key part there.

That just means that there are four CB's that the club do not see as having a long term future and will accept offers for. However, those offers need to be acceptable to both the club and the players. If not then they will still be here next season.

I'd imagine 2 maybe 3 of them will leave. Depending on who goes we will likely see one maybe two CB's joining this summer.

Martinez, Kambwala and one or two of Maguire, Varane, Lindelof or Evans will stay. With one or two new signings.

Pretty underwhelmed by Branthwaite. I saw some clickbait headline that Real Madrid were looking at him and spat my coffee out.

I think a lot will depend on Maguire and his desire to leave and be a regular somewhere or if he chooses to stay. Martinez and a new signing will be the starting pair I imagine with Kambwala as back up plus one other. Shaw can always play CB IF needed with Malacia in at LB (assuming we have these players fit next season! ) So potentially 5 CB's to choose from which is sufficient. If Maguire shows intent to stay then Lindelof will be off, if Maguire expresses a desire to leave then I think Lindelof will stay or maybe be a late in the transfer window deal if we can get another CB target in.

Honestly think we have to bring 2 in, let Maguire and Varane go. Evans I would at best give him the role we had mcshane in to help the youth, but if he wants to play i would let him go.

I'd bring in one for the left side and one for the right and keep lindelof to be replaced next year.

Varrane is gone and not sure if we can seriously extend evans again. That means 2 cb coming i would think. Maguire and lindelof part of the squad.

We have no cover at left back at the moment as malacia seems to have some form of injury that may not be straight forward even when he comes back. I know Dalot can play there but that leaves the right side short.

Plenty of things for the club to ponder and plan come summer.

Branthwaite looks excellent, but I doubt Everton would let him go anytime soon.

Sepp check the everton page they are in the rubbish financially they may have to sell Branthwaite and I doubt they would be able to hold anyone to ransom.

Centre half situation will be addressed but another important one is right back
We currently have two bang average right backs who are prone to giving away goals!
I can see Dalot staying as back up awb to be sold!

Yeah they're borrowing from 777 and will likely go into administration if the takeover falls through. Then they would.

{Ed025's Note - he wont go to united Sepp, the big clubs will come in for him and he will go to one of them mate..

I meant be forced to sell, Ed, but yeah, I agree.

{Ed025's Note - he just signed a new 4 year deal Sepp, and i know that means very little these days but if he does go it will be for very big money mate imo..
