[Gabriel]

A LB signing plus Mendy/Cancelo

Which specific LB and for how much?

Which specific LB and for how much?

As said there aren't that many would really fit the bill but we could with one.

As said there are many that would really fit the bill.

Then please name them with a realistic price for each.

For short/medium term Tagliafico from Ajax or Alex Sandro (but again he is more short term and expensive). Prehaps Rayan Ait-Nouri but another raw kid might not be the right choice for now. I forgot about Alaba but thats a non starter as he is not interested in a move to us. Other than that there is a shortage of left backs.

Every time I see Angelino on a football pitch I think ..where's snow white and the other six? ...

Good player, and would probably cost €25m. That said, we presumably scouted him before signing Mendy and passed. Further, if we were in for him, I think that deal would have been done by now, compare Ake and Torres, as Ajax know he has two years on his contract and are willing to sell. As such, more likely to be heading to Leicester or Chelsea depending on whether the latter prefers Chilwell.

Sandro would be very expensive and turns 30 in January and Ait-Nouri is very much a work in progress. Angers are looking for €30m, so the same as what were looking for from RBL for Angelino, who has just played in a CL semi-final.

If we’re dropping £100m on centre backs, and signing Torres and Aouar, we’ll need to make savings somewhere, which is why Angelino makes more sense.

It would make sense if we would played him regularly and we do play wing backs more regularly (Angelino's strongest position). Angelino's problem isn't a lack of playing time but being comfortable in Pep's system. He didn't look like he was during his spell no matter how short it seemed.

That’s not many especially when you point out significant flaw in getting them

If we have to choose between getting a LB or getting Auoar I'd sign a full-back in the blink of an eye. What's the expected value of Aouar's deal?

I don't mind having him TBH. Home grown and club grown so he's not really taking anyone's place in the team. He's serviceable to say the least. He's great going forward. He's terrible in defense, but who of our current LB options isn't?

If he wants to fight for his place, then let him.
