Going off Angelino's performances against Spurs, Inter and Barca this season I'd sign him first. CT too.He just looks like John Stones playing fullback to me.
Other than size, Angelino is a miles better footballer, as is Zinchenko.
I don't understand this unless Pep is determined to have fullbacks who are big.
Other than being a bigish unit, I don't understand what he does, that anyone else can't do.

And Zichenko?
Presumably, Rodgers would then buy Tierney as his replacement, and six months later we'd be wondering why we never just went straight to Celtic. As I've said, if Zinchenko or Angelino could allow us to play more measured and controlled football, as evidenced against West Ham United and Bournemouth, then perhaps the interest in giant fullbacks is waning. Nearly at the end of year three and we're no nearer seeing three at the back either.
Are you on about the right player? He’s not big at all
He's a lot bigger than Angelino & bigger/stronger unit than the typical player Pep isusually associated with in that position, also much more robust than Zinchenko.
But imo a very average footballer & not a great defender.
I think Stones used to play like him when Everton used him at fullback. Not great attacking not great defending, medium paced.
I completely understand your point and why you're making it, but I think you're wrong. We don't need someone who has played there for years, we need someone who has the attributes that make them likely to succeed in Pep's version of that position and the adaptability to be able to learn. Of course, if they already play there, so much the betterZinchenko might turn out to be a great back-up left back, but just as Delph had a good run of games, he is still no leftback and his form will probably decrease as it has done before. He can fill in, but we need a Benjamin Mendy back on top to fight for the place with Ben Chilwell. We need actual left backs. Enough with the stand-in, converting-midfielder-to-left-back-nonsense. We need players who have been playing there for years.
fuck no
