Full Backs?
- Thread starter balotelli's back pocket

Possibly nothing in this, but apparently Fernandinho said in an interview with a Brazilian TV station today that City are expecting the arrival of another left back before the end of the window.
Oh God is it Danny Rose

Can't see us spending silly money on Danny Rose with Mendy already here. We back in for Bertrand maybe?

Meltdown would be unreal...180m on fullbacks dear god.

Could be Rose if Pep think Mendy could be deployed as a LCB aswell. Or maybe its a CB who can play LB aswell

Really don't think Rose would be asinine money. He's coming off of a serious injury=dropped price. Come out and said he's basically willing to force a move=dropped price. 20-25 million anyone?
No chance spurs let him go for that. It would be a few very similar to walkerReally don't think Rose would be asinine money. He's coming off of a serious injury=dropped price. Come out and said he's basically willing to force a move=dropped price. 20-25 million anyone?

There's no way he goes for Walkers fee. He's publicly said he wants to play in the North. Plus he's coming off of an extremely serious injury.No chance spurs let him go for that. It would be a few very similar to walker
I haven't read the report but I was under the impression that he said he would consider moving North - not that he wants to.There's no way he goes for Walkers fee. He's publicly said he wants to play in the North. Plus he's coming off of an extremely serious injury.
Could be wrong though as not read it in full.

If I remember he said that he WILL play up north. He doesn't know when but he will.I haven't read the report but I was under the impression that he said he would consider moving North - not that he wants to.

I can't see him going for less than Walker's fee, injury or not. Same age, technically better with the ball at his feet, quick, home grown, English. On top of this, and most crucially, the departure of Rose will cause a snowball effect at Spurs. It would almost certainly trigger most of their top players to demand large wages or a move away.

Possibly and I do personally think we need another LB plenty of football to be played.

It makes sense. We released 4, so 4 come in.
Mendy can likely play centre back as can Danilo so we seem to be well stocked defensively.
Based on what? They've both been bought for the fullback positions based on their attacking ability rather than their defensive attributes. With Mendy, most comments about him prior to us signing him were that he's defensively weak. Other than his physique, i don't see how he fits the bill for a centre back. I'm confident Pep would sooner have Fernandinho at centre back than either of those

mendy and rose would be the best squad depth in the left back area in the world. imagine having the 2 best fullbacks in the league in the same team.

I'd rather have Boateng then Manolas.
Manolas isn't your typical Pep player and is quite the troublemaker aswell.
