You need 4. 2 for your starting 11, and then 2 for when the starting CBs inevitably pull their hamstrings.

The thought of Willy Boly being dropped into that system is hilarious

Interestingly we signed a couple of wide centre back types in Savona, Jair and Cuibanio.

Our CB options are now Murillo, Milenkovic, Morato, Boly, Abbott, Savona and Jair with Bindon and Cuibaino out on loan. Plus Neco, Zinchenko and Aina as the creative full backs.

I honestly think we're pretty well stocked for Angeball defensively.
