Edited what some will be like . . .
This !
Copa Libertadores final in which Santos won:
Over 2 legs
The first leg where they drew 0-0 he played in central midfield and in the second leg he played at RB, scored and they won 2-1.
Even in his Santos days they were using him as a RB, Any detailed stats to back up how often he played in midfield during the 2010-11 season at Santos as I can't seem to find any other than in the 2010 season he was listed as a MF player and the following year he was listed as a DF.

Cheers mate.
At least we know he has played in a midfield role.
I think this is Peps answer to an inverted fullback for the right side, of which I think a left side option will follow.
Then we have two powerhouses and two inverted footballing types.
Bernardo Silva has played as an attacking midfielder his entire career - except one attempt to play him at fullback. Yes at Monaco he started wide, like Nasri & Silva did under Pellegrini, like KDB did often in 15/16, but he's an attacking midfielder and people are saying he's going to play as an attacking midfielder.
So comparing him playing his natural role to Danilo playing in midfield is amazingly convoluted.
Bertrand is the other LB - I wouldn't say he's a prime candidate for inverted LB, although his ability to play CB in a 3 man defence would be useful.

I saw him play there for Portugal and looked decent how many times fabinho played in midfield? And people think he's awesome
Is this a joke?
In case it's not, the Danilo we're signing is Brazilian, plays RB for Real Madrid. The Danilo you're thinking of, Danilo Pereira plays for Porto in midfield.
And Fabinho has played about 1 1/2 seasons in midfield.

And exactly how does signing a right back mean we won't sign our main left back target. If it's to do with the home grown quota I'm sure there will be many players we'd give the boot two before giving up on mendy because of the quota.

Ok no Sanchez then? I was under the impression we could only fit 2 more foreigners?
