Full Backs?

[Dax777]

Think Pep playing Lahm in MF might have created a false impression that any of our fullbacks can play there too..Lahm is a one-off & brilliantly intelligent.

Zaba actually started out as a midfielder. So it's not such a foreign position to him.

I do too. And what's frustrating is people affording certain players more time even though there's clear evidence they're on the wane.

Yeah, definitely agree with that. We got exposed so many times last season on the wings.

Clichy is a good squad player, but he's not a starter. Zabaleta needs to move on, as good as he's been for us, injuries have completely hampered him. Sagna and clichy for squad, 2 new full backs needed.

How anyone can include players like Delph as a left back option is beyond me, the man is absolutely shit full stop. As for Zinchenko, since when did people get this idea into their heads that he's a left back? He's an attacking midfielder, it's as clear as day just by watching a few clips of him.

I would happily take Peres for Zabaleta, Jonas Hector for Kolarov. Good value for money on both players.

Still not sold on the rumors of us having no interest in Peres, hopefully that one gets done.

Watch clips of Rose etc, you would never guess he was a full back. YouTube tend to focus on that kind of stuff. BTW - Delph is not shit - injured yes- shit no. Calling our players out is shit though.

You don't think Clichy is starter material so you'd buy Hector? Based on what exactly?

Kimmich and Hector for me we should go all out and sign these 2.

+1

Think of our back line as:

Kimmich-----Kompany-----Bonucci(if only)-----Hector

Kimich isn't a natural RB, just played there for Germany coz they didn't have a good one. Perhaps he'd switch there permanently I don't know. For my money I reckon Zichencho and Peres flanking 2 stud CBs will be as good if not better in 1 year.

Zichenko is an attacking midfielder with utility skills. Akin to Kimich who played RB for Germany at the Euros, and dis it quite well. I reckon those 3 game may have been Kimmich's first competitive games at the position.

Zichencho just like Kimmich has played a bit of LB. No one is claiming it's his position. Frankly he is young and probably doesn't have a settled position yet. What we know is that he is immensely talented on the ball, has very good vision VB and movement, and works hard. Kinda like Kimmich. The projection to leftback isn't far fetched, seeing as his old coach has played him there a few times.

And if there was a Manager that epitomizes ignoring positional rigidity, that Manager is now Zichenko's manager. So it's easy to see why the projections are being made.

Frankly, I think Zichenko on the left and Peres on the Right of Stones and another CB will make us even more deadly as a team.

Finally passers in every facet of the team. Granted in Peres's case, more dribbler than passer.

Jose Gaya
Why are we not in it for this guy, if he comes Kolarov can leave.
