Full Backs?

Primativ said:
Rose and Walker are the best fullbacks in the league. Also Rose is not average defensively as has been mentioned, he's a big part of the best defence in the league for two seasons.

I never said Rose was average. I'd take him, but it will be hard getting him off Spurs. We would have to pay big money and I was stating that you could get both Southampton full backs for the price of one Spurs basically. I would take Cedric over Walker though. He's much better on the ball and would suit the way we play. He'd be my first choice right back if I had to choose. Cedric with Fabinho as cover. Fabinho would be my first choice DM.
 
What are the benefits of having a club developed player like say Trippier over a home grown player like Rose/Walker?

In the Champions League you get 17 free slots, 4 home grown slots and 4 club developed slots. If you had 17 foreign players and 8 home grown, you'd have to leave 4 players out of the squad. If a minimum of 4 of your home grown players were club developed, you'd be able to register a full squad of 25. So next year if we're going to register a full squad, it'll be something like:

Home grown:
Delph
Sterling
Stones
Roberts

Club Developed:
Iheanacho
Garcia
Gunn
Maffeo

With 17 free slots going to foreign players. We haven't registered a full squad in Europe since 2008/09 as far as I know, so it would make a nice change.

That's right but aren't Iheanacho, Maffeo Garcia under 21 and don't need to be registered ? so we still probably won't be registering 25. Not that it matters if those 3 are in the match squads whether they are registered or not.

Nacho will be 21 at the start of October, I think he'd need to go on the A list for at least the knockout stages. The other 2 are turning 20 in the summer so it would be more a case of forward planning with them to treat them as the club developed players.
 
I wonder if there's a remote possibility of getting Hernandez? Is he Real bound? Just watched his highlights for the first time and my jaw definitely needs fixing. This boy will surpass Alaba very soon.

Which one? Lucas or Theo? Lucas seems happy at Atleti, would be very hard to prise away. Theo is on loan at Alaves and is allegedly very unhappy that he hasn't been given any assurances over a spot for next season. Has a £20.5m release clause so he's a definite possibility.

Theo, as this thread is about fullbacks.
 
I would sign Kolasinac just because he is versatile and can play across the defence in more than one position and because he is out of contract, no brainer.

I would personally be absolutely delighted with one of these three at left back... Theo Hernandez, Alex Grimaldo and Benjamin Mendy. All very good.

Right back is a no brainer for me... bring in both Benjamin Henrichs and Fabinho. Both of these players are versatile. When Henrichs is out of the team, play Fabinho at RB, when Henrichs is in the team, Fabinho can slot in midfield. If we added these players mentioned, our full back positions would be covered perfectly.

Don't want William Carvalho, rather stick to Fabinho who is a better midfield player anyway.

Van Dijk the obvious choice at CB for his commanding presence. Sanchez then added to the forward line, would be a perfectly well balanced team.

Oh, and add Ederson in net too.

Ederson 35m
Kolasinac free
Grimaldo/Mendy/Hernandez 35m
Fabinho 35m
Van Dijk 45m
Sanchez 40m

Total: 190m

Possibly look at throwing in another CM as well. Sales will bring down net spend.

Googled a bit... The rumours are that both Real and Barcelona are offering Theo crazy money.

Wouldn't worry too much, we can offer him something they can't and that's a starting position. He'll be up against Marcelo at Madrid, probably the best in the world in the position and Alba at Barca who's no slouch.

In like this. Even though think Silva would be captain of the squad and Tolisso would be on the bench.
 
Talking about Fullbacks, Alex Sandro is a fucking beast, Pocketing Messi currently and I have always said in the past that he's the best LB in the world.
Even better than Danny Rose.
