Is left back really a problem?

Ake can also play LB if we get Kounde..so it looks ok at the moment.
 
Hope we bring in Tagliafico from Ajax. He is the starting left back for Argentina and a quality player imo. Then together with Ake we have two options at left back who is defensively reliable. Mendy then plays mostly against weaker sides and can focus on his attacking play. Zinchenko is not a long term solution, Cancelo is a right back and should only play right back to rotate with Walker as its a demanding role with so many games. If we cant sell Zinchenko then he can be a backup in midfield for cup games and we can try to sell him again next summer when clubs have more money after financial hit this year.

That means Zinchenko playing like 4 games

Yes, if we buy a quality LB AND are unable to sell Zinchenko, he might only play 4 games. Not a problem. He could leave on loan in january if it becomes an issue. Most important thing is to strengthen at Lb.
 
Mendy is such a liability at the back. Said this at the end of last season and I’ll say it again now, left back should be our top priority!
 
Depends how Ake fares (if he ever plays there) but Mendy still gets rinsed defensively and we don't have the height for his crosses to be useful. Still our weak link.
