Hopefully we will get Tagliafico. 27 yo, and I don’t think I’ve been so impressed with a leftback in a long time. Incredible headers in set-pieces, fast, strong and great cross. I think he cost like 20-30m max.

28 in 2 weeks unfortunately.Hopefully we will get Tagliafico. 27 yo, and I don’t think I’ve been so impressed with a leftback in a long time. Incredible headers in set-pieces, fast, strong and great cross. I think he cost like 20-30m max.
I mean if the club/Pep is not convinced then would have they have told him already right? I mean why would the club waste a good amount of assured money (since Leipzig favours him) in bringing him in. It cannot be solely his wish alone to return and fight.
We wouldn't of loaned him out mid season if he was fully part of the team and Angelino wouldn't of been itching for a move out.

I would bring this kid back without blinking an eye.
Has looked very competent for RB in the latter stages of the CL.
Has more intelligence in his little toe than Mendy and is better offensively than Zinchenko.
Young enough to get even better too.

Of course injuries have been a major however he did have talent when we had signed him.
It remains still the same if he did return. If Pep really rated him he would be in the side right now and not for us having to rely on an out of position RB slotting in (although thats not promising for Mendy either).
So, are you advocating that we should pin our hopes on Mendy recovering fitness? He’s now missed eighty-five(...85) games for us through injury and more through having to be rested. The manager has probably reconciled himself to the idea that Mendy is never going to be reliable, so we need another plan. He just needs to rate Angelino as more dependable than Mendy.
Yeah I kind of see your point...If what you are saying is true then Angelino is trying to force in a move with us to fight for his place...then he could have done already that in January itself. My way of thinking if Pep (unless the club is not agreeing with Pep here) don't want him he would have been reliably informed and we would have got a good amount for him. Also if city is still not convinced with him, why would he leave a top club + starting position at a top German club to again start at square zero?We wouldn't of loaned him out mid season if he was fully part of the team and Angelino wouldn't of been itching for a move out.

If Pep isn't prepared to play him then what is the point. Better off moving him on and I am not totally convinced Angelino is the answer either.

A LB signing plus Mendy (although we will off load next summer as he isn't going to recover sufficently) /Cancelo. If an EDS steps up as part of the squad then great.

I am a bit sceptical of bringing Angelino back, i think if we play with 3 Cb with him as a wing back, he would be great. If he played as a left back in a back four, he can definitely be exposed as he is not the greatest defender.
Mendy on the other hand can go for me. Couldn't trap a bag of cement at the best of times and the only thing he was good at (crossing a ball), he seems like he can't do that now either. I would put my house on Liverpool's new signing Tsimikas being a better signing than Mendy and he cost like a quarter of the price.
Still can't quite understand why we didn't just sign Tierney for half the price of Mendy. What a shocking signing he has been for us. Maybe i am being harsh as he has had two bad injuries, but its just frustrating that we can't lock down that LB position and haven't been able to do so since the Sheikhs bought the club. Clichy is about our best left back and he only provided around 2 good seasons for us at best.
