Zinchenko didn’t cost anything and Angelino was peanuts.
Stones was a good buy in theory and no one was complaining about Mendy the day we signed him

Pep’s shambles when it comes to identify and buy good defenders, that’s amazing considering the money he spent.
Aké, Laporte, Cancelo and Walker spot on, the rest have been dogshit.
Mendy, Zinchenko, Angelino and Stones. That’s about 120-140m worth of defenders that are absolutely hopeless.
The 50% successrate is not far away.
how hard can it be

Why the fuck did we buy Angelino in the first place when there are leftbacks like Telles, Reguillon, Tagliafico. Unbelieveable. When will Pep stop making mistakes buying defenders? He gets like haft of his targets right. So sick of this bad business.
Get rid of Stones, Otamendi, Zinchenko and Angelino, keep Garcia, buy Koulibaly and get a proper fucking leftback in. How hard can it be?!
You can only get rid of these players if clubs come in for them

Then have a garagesale. We’re aiming to be the very best in the world but we’re stuck with defenders not even Burnley would touch with gloves on.

I don’t necessarily agree with that. We need to be proactive sellers. Make these players attractive to buyers.
You are not seriously suggesting that there isn’t a team in Europe that wouldn’t put their hand in their pocket for Angelino? He’s a regular for Liepzig, CL experience, a good age and has experience in 3 major leagues.

Didn’t Zin cost about £400k and won us a title at left back?Pep’s shambles when it comes to identify and buy good defenders, that’s amazing considering the money he spent.

Lmaohardly thanks to him
Zinchenko came in as midfielder and was then converted into a defender and was fantastic there in the 18/19 season IMO, Angelino was only ever brought back as it was a free hit, if it didn't work out he could always be sold for profit.Pep’s shambles when it comes to identify and buy good defenders, that’s amazing considering the money he spent.

Mendy was one of the best young LBs in europe when we got him, unfortunately injuries have ended up with us only seeing glimpses of this.
Stones is a weird one, I want the guy to step up so badly, if he could of taken the first half of the 17/18 season and continued to perform that way, we'd have the best CB pairing in Europe imo. Unfortunately he didn't.
I don't personally see how these can be put down as a shambles in pep identifying defenders.
