I assume Boateng and Hummels are before him in the international running. Even Howedes must be; and he's nearly dead.

Mustafi will end up being another one running his contract down in the stiffs.
We need two centre backs. I’d try and get Evans for £3m (if the clause is true) and give him a shortish contract and spend £30-40m on a good one.
