Full Backs?

[balotelli's back pocket]

We are all in agreement that these need adressing. So why have we been liked with almost none? Piccini was linked months ago, but after his injury that tailed off. Apart from the half hearted links to alaba or carvajal, we have not been linked with anyone. At rb we should be after peres, gaspar, fabinho etc. Lb wendell, ghoulam, bernat, gaya. Are we going to sign anyone in these positions?

We may, but my sense is we'll be just as good if we adapt the qualities of players already on our squad. Denayer at RB and Delph at leftback.

But if push came to push Fabihno, the Italian at Roma and and the ex Bayern product Mitchell Weiser at Herta are all good shouts at RB. Left back I think is a little trickier. Gaya and Bernat have the ball skills, Wendell has energy. But I don't trust any

Jordan Amavi of Aston Villa. Sign him up. £10m and future France international. About time we signed young players on the verge of becoming world class.

How about we get some eds in? Instead of paying for players all the time...

I always liked the look of Pablo Maffeo, how's his progress going?

Couldn't start on loan. This isn't proof he isn't ready. But then...

time for an Angelino promotion?

I suspect it's at the bottom of the pecking order for this summer. Especially if we keep Mangala/Otamendi, recall Denayer, and buy Laporte. Keeping the four outside backs we have helps with the HG quota which could be as issue as well.

Isn't Clichy the only one that counts as home grown of the current crop?

I just looked it up and I was mistaken. Good call you're correct. Scratch that point I made.
