Full Backs?

[fredmont]

After Clichy performance last night, a left back is a big priority asap now surely

Players seem to suffer if they don't get a good run. Prefer him to Kolarov any day of the week but he isn't getting the playing time.

I can only deduce that he's not starting because he isn't showing enough in training.

Not sure if we'll want to make the move in January, but I wouldn't be surprised to see Grimaldo one of the first signings in the summer, maybe even announced toward the end of the season.

Likely to leave Schalke 04 on a full basis in January, Bosnian international left-back Sead Kolasinac (23), according to TZ, has been targeted by no less than Bayern Munich, ready to submit Gelsenkirchen side a cash offer, and willing to sign him as an alternative to David Alaba. The player is also tracked by four Premier League clubs: Liverpool, Manchester City, Stoke City and West Bromwich Albion.

Maybe Alaba is out of there?

Kolasinac has played really well this season. Better than Alaba actually.

Not seen much Bundesliga to be honest so can't really comment.

Clichy is terrible for just playing aimless passes when he's spent too much time on the ball and when he's under pressure. I imagine Pep gets very frustrated with him.

He's had five years of a run and still hasn't cleared a back post header.

Right Back - Benjamin Henrichs

Left Back - Alex Grimaldo (think we will go for him in Jan)

 

[BlueDeadHead]

You're right we need to try and think British as we're going to have very few home grown players with Delph not looking up to it and Clichy looking finished. Spurs went British with punts on Walker and Rose and they've developed into decent full backs. We need to do the same but can see only Grimaldo in January. Maffeo may come good but Angelino does not look good enough.

I think our days of worrying about the English quota are over.
