Full Backs?

[FCBarca]

Luke Shaw Englands number 1? Yes played a couple of friendliest if I recall but that was it. Good young player but has anyone really send him tested defensively at the highest level? Not convinced

Overrated, IMHO

Would be better value than Rose at 50 mill, IMO nothing wrong with Shaw and still only 21/22

I think after the majority of this season Pep will not settle for anything other than elite fullbacks and Shaw does not tick that box

Neither does Rose - He's Ok going forward but watch him when spurs are under the cosh, not often these days. He is a very average defender .

Rose may not be elite by most standards but doubtful Levy et al will let him go anywhere, esp to City

Preference alba for a few years. I'm still living in hope that we will give academy players a chance. Maffeo for our back up full back and 1st choice when alba goes

Maffeo is a RB and Alba is a LB

I would have thought that Pep could take a couple of raw but talented fullbacks & coach them to be better than Danny Rose, which is efrectively the only reason Danny Rose is getting a mention: Pochettino coaching him into being effective in Spurs' style of play.

Haha, I agree with your original point though. Hopefully Maffeo is part of the squad for next year. In the cup game he played he looked good and pretty sure he played in one of the earlier rounds of the CL and did alright. He'd certainly be good enough for cup games and some 'lesser' premier league games.

I'd take both Southampton full backs over the two Spurs full backs. You could probably by the two of them for the price of Rose alone. Cedric is really good on the ball and has a lot of pace. Bertrand is solid as well.
