We most definately need a top class left back.

Full Backs?

I don't get everyone's desperation for a Left back, Clichy is a good defender and has good pace.
I would argue with you that he isn't a good defender, and doesn't have much pace either. If you add that to the fact that he's uncomfortable in possession and offers nothing going forward then he needs replacing. Both fullbacks will be replaced within 12 months. Neither are good enough for a Pep team.
I think most people are writing off Zabba far to easily and it makes me cringe a bit to be honest. Come guys, the guy just needs a rest which he's getting. Him and Sagna for next season is fine by me. Dhino as a possible stop gap and Denyher will also play there. I'd also love to see Kolarov coached right before getting rid. Don't see many realistic outstanding options to replace them

The guy had a rest for about 3 months of the season last year and was utterly woeful. There's some absolutely ridiculous revisionism going on.

Not really ... Zabba deserves another chance ...he has blead sweat and blood for this club in eight good years the least we can do is give him a chance Ffs!The guy had a rest for about 3 months of the season last year and was utterly woeful. There's some absolutely ridiculous revisionism going on.

Agreed. I'd have absolutely no qualms if Zabaleta ended up staying.
There's also some ridiculous flapping going on too. Im pretty sure pep will make the right decisions. For the first time ever, I think we've got someone in charge that knows better than us lot of geniuses ;-)The guy had a rest for about 3 months of the season last year and was utterly woeful.

P.s. Sean, we wasn't woeful, he was poor for 6 months. That doesn't mean he's finished.

Clichy was excellent towards the end of last season, and can see him thriving under Guardiola. Don't think we'll be signing another left back this window, even when Kolarov goes. I expect either Angelino or Zinchenko (or Delph at a push) will be back up.
I would be more than happy to see Zab continue. A lot of people on here are worried about us not getting players in earlier, but I for one am happy that Pep is looking at each and every player before deciding his next step. I had hoped he wouldn't judge most of them based on last season and that seems to be the case. I think he will use the China tour to have a look at the likes of Yaya, Zaba, Fernando.

bad move imo but at least kolarov will be out!!
