Full Backs?

[Trautmann's Chiropractor]

Just saying we should not be spending 80 million on a fullback. The scouts need to do better.

If we do go in for him it won't be for €80 million. Most of the Portuguese clubs have ridiculous buy out clauses put into their players contacts to fend off interest but realistically they'd sell for less than half that sum. I don't think we'd be spending the quoted price there on any player let alone a young full back from the Portuguese league.

Hope not. Kid looks rapid as fuck on YouTube. And even looks more impressive in his defensive videos. But 80 million feels painful.

Monaco have just signed a LB for €8m - quite a bit of money for them.

Possibly Benjamin Mendy (22) or Djibril Sidibe (24, plays LB & RB) on the move? Both are very bright prospects and already miles better than what we've got.

I'm actually pretty gobsmacked that we're sat here with a few days to go and nothing at all has even come close to happening.

The brazilian LB Monaco signed is pretty highly rated. Apparently we were interested but Monaco wanted him more

We aren't going to sign a FB this winter.
-no reason on earth it's taken this long, if we were going to.
$$$ is there, we don't have Fair Play concerns, deal would have been done for someone, if we were going to make one.

We'll roll with what we have, Pep will convert someone like Delph, or we will just so something creative with the FB/CB's we have now.

I'm not. Pep indicated very early on that we would be in for nobody. Much and all as we'd all love someone in, I didn't see any reason not to believe him.

Nice to see us just sitting on our thumbs
