He’s a wing back who is far better attacking than defending. I’d be surprised if he was in our squad next season.

Just playing devil's advocate really. I have hardly seen anything of Couto so couldn't really vouch for his qualities or ability to fit into our squad.He’s a wing back who is far better attacking than defending. I’d be surprised if he was in our squad next season.
But if he genuinely is the best right back in La Liga as mentioned, then surely he'd be up for consideration, or worth more than the fee the OP said we could get for him?
Walker isn't going to be around for.much longer so right back will soon be a hole we need to fill.

correct position, completely wrong profile without a system change from Pep. Probably got a good shout at making himself noticed at RW if he goes on pre-season though.Just playing devil's advocate really.

Frimpong would be my choice. Couto isn’t tall or particularly quick. He’s similar to Porro at Spurs.Just playing devil's advocate really. I have hardly seen anything of Couto so couldn't really vouch for his qualities or ability to fit into our squad.

an improvement on Couto given the choice for me, but still the same issues. better going one way than the other when 1-on-1 defending is paramount in this system. Bet we see someone floated who is a CB/RB over a RWB/RB.Frimpong would be my choice. Couto isn’t tall or particularly quick. He’s similar to Porro at Spurs.

Still antonished me that some people didn't know the difference between wing back and full back thinking these two are one and same.

Rumours that he has a €40m release clause. For that price, I'd hope we're making a serious effort to bring him back.

Couto does lineup as a FB tbf, but practically given a free role most of the time. great to watch but cant see it fitting in as a role we have now.Still antonished me that some people didn't know the difference between wing back and full back thinking these two are one and same.

Might as well use Cancelo if we want a full back with that type of profile.Couto does lineup as a FB tbf, but practically given a free role most of the time. great to watch but cant see it fitting in as a role we have now.

Shame we didnt take a punt on Livramento, like his profile alot. Newcastle barely seem to start him.Might as well use Cancelo if we want a full back with that type of profile.
