this guy...next Joao Cancelo
It's definitely a problem but I see RB as an issue as well. Is it an urgent need? Perhaps not but club cannot continue with their current depth at both positions going into next season. Cuoto is far from ready to be a contributor so I envision a veteran being pursued, even if not a 1st tier blue chip prospect

Start of the season, massive issue. Now we have Dias, it's a lot less so. The defence looks incredible and Zinchenko's playing the inverted fullback role nicely. Is it enough against CL opposition? Maybe not, but we need at least 1 more striker, then maybe a DM depending on Fernandinho.
At the minute, we have Cancelo, Zinchenko, Ake, Laporte who can do a job there. Mendy need moving on I'm afraid.

They are not adequate in a Pep attacking system, they are bandaids atm

They are the two best right backs in the league. If neither are good enough then what does that say about any other teams’ full backs!? Including those at Barcelona.

What the hell are you on about? Cancelo has been one our best players this season and hour saying he’s a bandaid?
I'm very happy with Cancelo, Walker and Zinchenko. I'm not happy with Mendy.
So if we can replace Mendy great but I think LB isn't as important to fix as our problems upfront.
Replacing Mahrez (and possibly Sterling) should be the priority imo.

I am not against it as Firpo is heading to the exit (Presumably that money would be used to acquire a backup/challenger to Alba) but I am counting more on the young Balde

I like Zinchenko but as an out and out left back he often gets exposed by the old one two. His limitations get exposed against good pacy wingers but its not his natural position so hey ho.. I'd like to see Ake there for a while. Zin is good backup.

In the summer there were reports that Valencia was open to selling the entire squad apart from Gaya, and it seems he was happy there. If he actually wants to go, 15m is one hell of a bargain. Brilliant when I’ve watched him for Spain. The only worry is that he’s quite injury prone and lots of them are muscular

We are a bit stifled on one side, creating a bit of an uneven balance. This was the whole reason that we signed Mendy, to give the attacking impetus for that side. But he's never been available for any long period that we've had him, and now has dropped off completely. It's 100% an issue, but the problem has been that we have had other areas to prioritise and Cancelo was was like Danilo in that he could also cover left back. We still need the specialist, who can maintain a run of games and actually provide an overlapping threat, as well as inside control that we require.
