We might return to the days of Mel Machin and have a raffle on the team bus.

Weakest position at the club alongside a right sided CB, solve those 2 positions and we are sorted.

To be fair there is a lack of quality in Europe for left backs. Of the top of my head no one jumps out as World class. There doesnt seem to be a marcelo or Ashley Cole type around. The best we could hope for is alaba, to be fair a change in club might re ignite his hunger. He is a natural leader and organiser and knows all about the "pep" requirements.
On a plus if we got him our defence looks class as fcuk
Eddie/steffan best keeper and back up in probably Europe.
Walker/cancelo perfect blend 1 quality defender 1 quality attacking fullback.
Koulibaly or kounde/stones potentially solid
Laporte/ake not much drop in class if 1st choice injured.
Alaba/mendy world class and decent. Have hoped mendy would get back to before his injuries but its not looking likely now unfortunately. Probably will get sold next season and replaced by what he was pre injury if anyone jumps out.

We needed a left back 2 and half years ago and we are still here struggling . We could have signed the lad that went to spurs and also we could make arsenal an offer for tierney who is class . Stones and mendy are not good enough for us .

Cancelo would be my first choice followed by Mendy. Cancelo showed enough last season to warrant a chance
