Right back options

Andouble said:
Really concerning and a genuine question of all decision makers that we haven't been linked to a genuine right back in years.

And infuriatingly, there is some genuine quality out there too. We just seem to want another winger and a GK. Wtf...

Is the genuine quality in the room with us...? Please name me some available right backs that are an upgrade on what we have, and not 30 years old +.

Market is skim. If a RB was available that would improve our team, we'd of bought him. In my eyes, nobody fits the talent level / age profile necessary at the moment.

Not sure I fully agree on this at the moment, as I don't think he's that comfortable in the final third. However, if he'd be a RB that is essentially a wide RCB in possession and sits, that's fine. Can allow a marauding left back or Stones to push into midfield

Is there who is out there and available that we have room for? we only want another GK if Ederson and Ortega leave, not sure we want another winger either.

Khusanov isn’t RB.

It’s become a bit strange, nobody has seen khusanov at right back for a run of games, yet he’s becoming a fantastic right back without kicking a ball.

I don’t deny he could be a good right back but maybe we should have tested that theory before the window shuts without a right back coming in!
 
Don't know why we don't go three at the back with Khusanov, Stones and Gvardiol, Ait Nouri and Nunes as the wing backs / inverted midfielders, Rodri, Reijnders and Phil as the three, Erling and Omar up top. More pace, strength and movement. Less of the tippy tappy football we have seen for years, more frantic, in the faces of the opposition.
 
I would like to see Khusanov as a RB only if stones plays in the middle and is the player to move into the midfield or Ait Nori is the guy to go forward as Khusanov plays more of a RCB in a 3.

Would love to see a back line of Khusanov Stones Gvardiol Ait Nori that in possession sees Ait Nori further up the field and Khusanov Stones Gvardiol as a back 3.

He cannot be any worse than playing Lewis there. That is obvious.
Physically capable for starters and has shown defensive abilities on several occasions that Lewis and Nunes simply wouldn't have dealt with.

Absolutely bizarre to not be playing him. That being said, he will probably start the next game and might have a dodgy first half and Pep will hook him and he wont be seen for several months.
 
Pedro Porro is arguably the best RB in the Premier League at the moment. He was on City’s books for three years but never played a single game. Probably looked at Pep funny or something.

Think he could be a great fullback for Chelsea or Everton. Obviously doesn’t fit our super complicated system or pissed in Pep’s Cheerios.

Pedro Porro isn’t better than Nunes don’t think hes even spurs best right back, decent going forward suspect defending.Best all round RB is Livramento ,well a fit James probably, but Livramento who isn’t available.

I agree. I don't think the level of player we need is available. It just seems silly to assume that the club are naive to the need especially when we know they kicked the tires on Livramento

I'll give you one, Nicolo Savona at Juventus. Looks like he's headed to Forest.
