It's Quiet 17 - Glory Thread

What happens when they both get injured?

Chances are we will buy another full back for cover. My point wasn’t about that.

I responding to your point about cancelo, who has been and will be our first choice left back

Asked someone I know about Sosa same guy I asked who gave me a report on Gvardiol. Since I watch bundesliga but don't know that much about Sosa in depth. So I'll put it here.

Basically said he's just decent not world class, not shit just decent incredible cross but just a decent/good player, can defend and attack. Mostly a 7/10 most games. Good player not exceptional can do a job. Just really consistent. Rarely has a shit performance. Just does his job to a good level. Rarely at fault for his team conceding

that is enough for us, pep can improve him. besides cucrella is not better than Sosa and not world class himself and hence why we do not value him at 50 mil

What if they fit and on form for the rest of season?

Same chance of different spectrum.

Can’t expect players to play every single game in a season tbh with a World Cup squashed in the middle.

The reality of football.

No it is not. Just because it's worked one or two seasons doesn't mean it will again. Top clubs are pro active and sort out the situation at hand. There's still time, so I hope we get a left back, but to act like it's just fine is actually naive.

No guarantees Cancelo will be first choice left back if we do sign one tho. Clearly Pep wants a left footer which will be a benefit to the whole team and Grealish when he plays on the left.

Nothing I can do about it so I'm not going to get worried/excited about it as some appear to be doing.

We've had Delph, Zinchenko and Cancelo filling in there for a few years now and been relatively successful.

I'd rather us not sign one than sign the wrong one. I do hope we sign a decent LB but I suspect we'll be fine if we don't.

I think so too. It feels like we want a left footed left back, to able to whip in crosses for Haaland? There is a clear possibility that Cancelo is moved to the right side of the defense this season.

You have to be in utter denial to make light of this situation. Would be a shocking window if we do not get a left back after all 3 other seniors we've lost.

Not a shocking window however I agree with the left back situation. However still time to get it sorted, just surpised we haven't maybe offered Brighton a player as part of the deal.

Fair enough mate. I think it's still an area of concern, and I feel an out and out left back could also help us offensively, in terms of helping Grealish for example.

 

[CityTX]

Unpopular idea - very unpopular but how about Telles (Rags) for LB position? He was a good player prior to joining United.

I agree (especially regarding getting the best our of Grealish). As I said, I'd like to get one but the right one. Not just one for the sake of it.

We had a budget for Cucurella that we weren't prepared to go beyond (which I agree with). Now let's see what we have up our sleeves.

 

[BringBackSwales]

I am so pleased I don’t have wet knickers (despite my advancing years). 4 out of the last 5 titles, another month before the current window closes, and the amount of crying cos we didn’t spunk over £50m on a full back most people hadn’t heard of a year ago.

I always think the player this summer is prepared for eventual signing for the next summer transfer windows. To get Bellingham and potential replacement of both Bernardo and Kyle Walker.

Don't think we have anything up our sleeves but that may change hopefully.

 

[argyle]

There lies the problem lol. Players having to play out of position…

Imagine what Pep could achieve if the club got him the squad he wanted and he didnt need to plug spots with other players out of position...

Can’t say that, you’ll get called spoilt.

 

[p.taker]

If we don't sign Koulibaly Kounde I am going to be royally pissed! What, are we going to find a decent 3rd option?

 

[samuelyeboah]

Cancelo? He’s not a left back lol.

Only played as such all of last season in a hugely successful season for us and got into TOTS but what do I know

Crazy how we keep winning the league year after year with all these shocking windows!

Just because he played there doesn’t mean that’s his position. He’s a right back playing left back because we don’t have one. Just like zinchenko was a midfielder playing at left back.
