Ibrahims Konate IMO and I'm happy for the clubs medical department to make the call on his injury issues because they're the experts in that particular field.
The question if there's a Van Dijk available can only be answered if you sign the player that ticks all the boxes. And even when Van Dijk was available and showing potential to be that dominant CB, people on here said he was no better than Smalling and Jones. Some were even arguing that Smalling was better. Posters like @Robbie Boy and @Wayne's World were spot on in the thread below and were proven correct.
Wayne's world said this on page 6 below regarding Van Dijk.
"Some of the people here saying "He's not good enough for Utd" is absolutely crazy"
"He's one of the best centre-halfs in the Premier League and he has that key aspect that you need...HE CAN DEFEND! unlike some of the defenders I see in the league these days"
"We need to sign him in January and If we don't and Liverpool do, then Liverpool will win the league"

Haha thanks for quoting that, didn't even remember saying that on here but unfortunately I knew at the time that Liverpool signing Van Dijk would be the catalyst to them winning trophies again. He was that good at Southampton that he was on the cusp of greatness and Liverpool got his best years and made them a European / English force again.
