Worse case Akanji and Lewis play until the summer.Definitely need a right back with Walker on his way
I don’t think we ever planned on getting a RB in Jan but might have too, better options will be there post season.

Pretty obvious that Khusanov is going to either be bed in at right-back or allow Akanji to go there
Yep, I reckon he is the Kyle Walker replacement. This, or as you said, allows Akanji to play there. Good either way!Pretty obvious that Khusanov is going to either be bed in at right-back or allow Akanji to go there
Yeah Khusanov and Reis means 1 extra to cover injuries and 1 to cover right back.Pretty obvious that Khusanov is going to either be bed in at right-back or allow Akanji to go there
But they want Reis to stay so let’s see
We need Reis right now as well, so hopefully we will make that happen !Yeah Khusanov and Reis means 1 extra to cover injuries and 1 to cover right back.

With the defensive injuries this season I think it's a no brainer.Worse case Akanji and Lewis play until the summer.

Yep. Suddenly this signing makes complete sense (as does the Brazilian bloke)Pretty obvious that Khusanov is going to either be bed in at right-back or allow Akanji to go there

If Kyle only asked to leave 2 days ago, I'd assume we'll be in the market for a replacement. Because we'd already been negotiating for Reis before then.

Interesting. It’s a real shame it has all just nose dived for him after a stellar 7 seasons. Still been a top pro for us, regardless of the mess in his personal lifeKyle has asked to leave.....good luck. He's been fantastic.
Agreed. Links to Aina more recent.If Kyle only asked to leave 2 days ago, I'd assume we'll be in the market for a replacement. Because we'd already been negotiating for Reis before then.
I’d hope for a more established player although he’s been very good this season.
If we get both Reis and Khusanov, I think Akanji will be moved to RB for the rest of the season. If Gvardiol continues to play as an attacking LB, our RB would basically play CB in a 3 anywaysIf Kyle only asked to leave 2 days ago, I'd assume we'll be in the market for a replacement.

Dias/Stones/Reis/Khusanov
Ake/Gvardiol
Seems good to me. Just hope Reis is able to join in Jan other wise feel we enter the market.

No chance we sign someone as well as Reis even if we have to wait till the summer.Lewis/Akanji

Unless Stones leaves
Long term plan would be to get a full back. We wouldn’t going into next year with Akanji and Lewis as our RB’s.No chance we sign someone as well as Reis even if we have to wait till the summer.

Aina seems like a great opportunity to get a good right back for a cheap fee with his contract running down.

No I agree unless there is a plan for one of the new lads to be there.Long term plan would be to get a full back. We wouldn’t going into next year with Akanji and Lewis as our RB’s.
Aina on a free in the summer would be so solid.
Yeah or add Kimmich that could cover but also play midfield.No I agree unless there is a plan for one of the new lads to be there.

I guess with the new signings it would be good for Pep to assess them, they both look like they could play as a full back. Khusanovs speed alone is a huge factor.
I don’t think we need to worry about a cheap signing. We need players that are right. We have the money available.Aina seems like a great opportunity to get a good right back for a cheap fee with his contract running down.
He has been great though.
