Ferran Torres

2nd LB is also the 2nd LCB - Aké/Alaba and Zinchenko will still be around IMO. Not the right time to sell even if his long term future isn't here.

Zinchenko fits into that lb slot then and Carson I'd assume will still be 3rd keeper.

I think it depends on what becomes available in the market. If there’s an option of a very good but expensive player I could see Zinchenko going because he’d represent a big accountancy profit given we paid only £1.7m for him... which has been amortised away... so anything at circa £20-25m would be a large chunk to offset an £80m player over 5 years.

I for one really do hope we buy a proper left back this window to fight with Mendy which would make the sale of Zinchenko even more compelling.

You two do know Zin is NOT an LB by trade, right?

He has been a superb team player for us, whilst not ever getting a real chance of playing his preferred role.

Yes, unfortunately for him there is no chance he would get a regular chance in midfield because of the quality we already have

He is in our squad.

Just watched Torres in a replay of last 16 against Atalanta in Spain, a step down from anything we have in the front line first half only, he needs Pep massively to become a squad player

 

[Mikablues17]

Have seen a few things on this lad about what a good character he is, very much in the Dave/ Rodri/ Garcia/ Gundo - model citizen style.

I know this is what the club prefer, rather than massive Neymar type ego's but I'd love an absolute killer to get excited about. Someone that can be a bit of a cult hero, a personality that wont take any shit- a bit like Ederson or Laporte when they get pissed off.

Jesus, you can tell I'm spoilt with this team when I'm getting picky about a wonderkid winger

I like. Some tidy finishes at the end

The more highlights I see the more I wonder if Pep will try him as a false 9.

This is another reason why the CFG model is fantastic. It could potentially knock us €15m off a deal and allow us to use the funds to secure Koulibaly. Herrera cost us £300k and after a few good loans, hes now valued at €15m. Having all those clubs and the scouting network it provides is invaluable.

Cheating bastards.

Petro dollars.

Throwing money around.

Arabs.

He can play anywhere across the front 3. I wouldn't be surprised if he played as 3rd or 4th choice striker ala Sterling. False or regular 9.
