Let’s just sign a fucking right back please .

This sounds like made up bullshit. That said, he should be a starter...
At Center back!!!

He is the only one we have with pace ? We dont bring Stones on when Brentford are launching bombs as throw ins FFS ;-)
We can wait until summer to get a right back with Khusanov, Nunes and Lewis as our current options. Don't think Khusanov's future should be on the right though. We should have one CB option who has pace because Dias, Ake and Stones certainly don't have it and we need someone to recover in case Gvardiol or one of the fullbacks has a brain fart.
Agreed. I was saying 'No' to the 'Center back' correction.

Khusanov is fine at right back. He allows us to play a balanced three at the back when in possession and it allows Oreilly or Ait Nouri to bomb forward.
Always knew he would be a monster at RB, excellent 1on1 defender and physically elite.
I'm a bit concerned as to why he hasn't returned back to training though?
If he didn't break a metatarsal a stamp on the foot shouldn't keep him out this long.

Grounds like Villa park, Anfield Etc is where you need level headed defenders who are unfazed by the atmosphere, something Nunes is not.
But the board decided against signing a genuine RB this summer, so if he's exposed in the big games and costs us its on them, they (the board) have made so many puzzling decisions in the last transfers windows that I'm genuinely not bothered.
Just for clarity, Matheus Nunes registered the 2nd highest speed of ANY player in the PL last season. The idea that Nunes is vulnerable to pace is simply gash, as is the idea that Khusanov has proven himself to be a level-headed defender.
Khus is a tremendous prospect. He is aggressive, pro-active, and physically blessed. He plays on the front-foot and takes no messing. He is loved for those reasons, and I am someone who thinks he is a fabulous prospect. IMO, he is a centre-back, and potentially a world-class one, but it is early days, and he doesn't need to be the stick to beat other players with.
