If there was any chance that could work i'd be very happy. Solves a problem for us and it'd be nice to see things work out for him.
might just happen with kola looking like he's off to roma, we will be lacking a player to whinge about so its a win win.

I still believe there is a very very good defender in there, and I hope this is the chance he gets to show what a top player he is.
 
You've got to applaud the club on this one. Losing Alves and moved rapidly to entice Danilo in. Probably why we weren't moving for Fabinho too. Looks like for all the flapping on here Txiki had a solid plan b in place, and I'd wager it's the same with all of our targets.

The fact we have gone cold on Bertrand suggests to me that Mendy is all but over the line, but if something happened there Bertrand would probably be plan b.

Danilo is a very astute move considering the hit we took on Alves being a twat.

He is a good defender, but not (or wasn't) a ball playing one. Maybe his stint away has taught him these skills
 
Does anyone have an idea of how often he's actually played at left back? Sometimes on here people get a bit carried away about a player's versatility when in fact they've played in a particular position just once or twice. Is he genuinely a viable back up option for left back or has he just played there a couple of times like Zabaleta did very ocassionally? With Kolarov seemingly gone, if we don't get another LB it could all fall on him to cover Mendy.
I don't buy the left back cover story. With Kolarov going we are down to Walker, Mendy, Danilo, Kompany, Stones and Otamendi. 6 players for 4 positions. Seems way too light. We will sign an additional 2 players, a back up left back proper and a centre half. If we go in to the season with 6 defenders and Kompany gets injured we would seriously jerpordise our chances of winning anything.

Fernandinho is an odd case.

United, City and Chelsea - and Juve - fans were all absolutely desperate for him and he appeared to fit each team like a glove, with a modest asking price of €40m.

But absolutely no one has gone for him, despite seeming like an obvious choice, young and with universal acclaim for his performances, and now PSG are the only destination left, Monaco's arch rivals.

Something fishy going on, or PSG have gotten their claws into him so deep that everyone else has been told not to bother.

I'd take €40m for fernandinho now with a year left on his contract.
