Full backs / Wing Backs

[Deleted member 77198]

We’d win the lot with Alphonso Davies in our team.

The left back for the USA, the Fulham lad, looks a player.

Bang on Robinson was excellent him & Pulicic were best players on the pitch
I think City did look at him in the Summer??

 

[Paul1970]

Watching an excellent full back atm . Borna sosa looks good

I read before that Inter are looking at him for £15m and our interest was mentioned. Apparently we have watched him but only as a back up and the fee was too much for that role.

Too true with a bit of luck the German economy is worse than we think, otherwise it is a pipe dream, strangely enough though i do not think he was Canada`s best player, for me it was Buchanan the right winger, i have heard since that he is better as a RWB?

Yet paid £12m for Gomez?

Yeah he’s looked great hasn’t he? Another we were linked with.

Exactly. Chances are Gomez was more comfortable being a back up

Sosa has a pretty terrible injury record. we've scouted him a few times and never pulled the trigger.

Theo Hernandez looks good

Theo Hernandez looks good

We’ve always liked him - but very pricy

It's always amusing when people recommend us buying somebody they've only seen playing a few good games over a World Cup. That's how you end up with an El Hadji-Diouf.

Quality costs and from what I have seen he is the best out there, high time we sorted this out once and for all.

 

[LongsightM13]

We were heavily linked with Sosa previously and he looks pretty good of the realistically attainable options. Hernandez is sadly a pipe dream

Cancelo made the PFA team of the season ahead of Robertson and has been widely considered better than Robertson since the start of last season. Chilwell isn't in the conversation for best LB in the PL, let alone in the world (too many injuries to consider him, that's why Chelsea paid 63m for Cucu). Also, there are various kinds of defensive actions, Cancelo's defensive stats are generally better than Robertson's or Cucu's or.... Most of our defensive actions are higher up the pitch, Cancelo is perfect for our high pressing style.

The fact that we weren't prepared to go over 35m for Cucu speaks volumes: the intention wasn't to replace Cancelo, but to find a good option to rotate Cancelo and Walker. If Txiki/Pep thought that Cucu was better than Cancelo (which he obviously isn't), we'd have offered 50-60m for him. Cucu can't make the Spain squad (Jose Gaya is ahead of him!), Cancelo is in a different league to him.

Ake is easily the most underrated player on this forum while Cancelo is definitely our most overrated player. Defensively he is terrible. This season alone he has cost us more matches than he has contributed to us winning. He will produce a brilliant ball / cross in 4 or 5 nil home wins and people forget about the mistakes he makes in a tight loss or draw. Great footballer but terrible defender. Very similar to the Dippers' TAA - not one defensive bone in his body. Cancelo would be PERFECT in a back 5 where he can roam all he likes but given we play back 4 he will always be the weak link in our system when we play good teams IMO. We need a left back that can DEFEND just like Walker can on the other side. Hate the obsession in this era with attacking full backs - just leaves you defensively too open.

It’s a forum. That’s what fans do. Like being down the pub with your mates and making suggestions on who you would like your club to buy. Being going on since the dawn of time.
I don’t think pep and the transfer committee are actively looking at the transfer forum on blue moon for transfer recommendations.

However if they are can I recommend de jong/Davies and leao please.

And to push my luck even further if anyone from city are reading then if you get rid of Scott Carson next year I can still do a job in “goal” or sat on the bench as third choice.

Never said it's wrong or anything, just that I find it amusing how many players are recommended on the base of a few games.

 

[decmancity]

Very impressive game from Juranovic in the Croatia v Brazil game.

Really good player from what I've seen. Could be the link between Walker finishing in a few years and Rico Lewis becoming first choice a few years later. Love his speed, vision & positive play ie always looking to attack.

Dumfries of inter is going to be available in summer apparently.

Can't say I've ever watched him but if starts for inter and Holland he can't be too bad.
