Angelino

Can we not get an actual left back who can defend as well as attack aka Walker on the right. I would snap Barcas hands off at 25m Euros.
He is simply not good enough for a team that wants to win the Prem. I am not convinced in Mendy either. Oh for a world class reliable left back.

Playing once every 4-5 weeks or so doesn’t exactly help either. He needed a good run of games for us to prove his worth but never got it

Well you can't expect to play more if every game you play you make mistakes that lead to opposition goals.

From very first pre season game to his last game for us he looked really bad in 1-1 defense and that is what our full backs have to be able to do. You could eve say he was consistent in that regards, consistently bad.

Walker cannot attack, he's brilliant at other things and we'd have been struggling without him but attacking he is certainly not. I reckon I'm better technically, unfortunately I'm also slower than Gundogan (when he had a dislocated knee).
 
25-30m for Angelino? I would take the money and run even at 20m.

He is very good on the ball and offer something forward but he can’t defend for one bit. We need someone equally good defending as well as attacking. For these money we could buy Telles or Tagliafico.
 
Cancelo has been decent in that position, I would make him first choice there, Mendy should be second choice. If we get good money from Angelino and Zinch then we should let them go, normally I would prefer we sell Mendy and keep Angelino but no one is going to pay anything over 20m for Mendy.

He was given number of choices here but couldn't really impress. Certain players just aren't suited to certain teams IMO.

He'll be a decent when played in a back 5 or when he plays for a team where defenders don't have to too too much 1-1 defending.

Selling him for 30m and buying a replacement for similar amount who suits us more would be good business IMO. The LBs for Sevilla and Valencia are really highly rated and have always impressed me when I've watched them.

Can you give me specific mistakes he had made ? People keep saying x has made lots of mistakes this year or been rubbish yet we finished second and they don’t give specifics. I also do not think our problem this year has been errors as such players at our level don’t make many mistakes I am struggling to think of specific mistakes this year but that could be me plus pandemic playing with my memory I think our problem this year has been lack of ability to get back when teams attack on the counter and not performing as well in attack so not specific player errors

People say he did not perform against was it United and Liverpool but there not our every day opposition did he loose a header or something hardly major

For some here, the attacking quality of a footballer can only be quantified by the goals he contributes to the team.

Nothing to do with that, it's the time it takes from receiving the ball to playing the next pass. It's like sending a fucking telegraph, take a touch, step back, wait a second or two to decide, then pass. There's no thought process, there's no proactive thinking or pre-planning of a pass, just reactive and that's the sign of a poor quality player. Like I keep saying defensively great but if you look at even Cancelo, even at left back, it's chalk and cheese.
