Zinchenko to Arsenal

Cucurella to CITY
Full Back to CITY**

Easy one today. Nothing new happened.

**Fairly even split as to if City will start the season with 3 specialist full backs or 4 but most reports suggest Cucurella is a Mendy replacement and Zinchenko will also be replaced if he leaves. No new Cucurella news today.

I’ll post one of these most evenings around this time on this thread

You are welcome.

There’s loads mate and I’ve explained why a few times now. That’s if Zin leaves.

Im not trying to be right or wrong just giving a summary of general opinion on BM to save readers time.

Marc Cucurella
Neymar
Alex Grimaldo

No apologies I’ve confused you. I don’t mean twitter. I mean the original plan (see below) was to have 4 by bringing in Cuc. it’s just that Zin looks like he is going too now so to my mind the plan remains the same and I haven’t read anything to suggest that we are happy to go with 3.

Cucurella is the Mendy replacement. Zin would presumably be replaced in his own right. The idea was Zin and Cuc on the left Walker and Cancelo on the right. Key to having conventIonal full backs instead of inverted to help Haaland. 4 specialists not make do and mend. The idea being with orthodox wing backs they can whip crosses in rather than cut inside. If we were to play Cancelo (primarily right footed) on the left it wouldn’t work and Haaland doesn’t get the first time cross.

That was the plan originally so we might start with three full backs and cover but probably not. Have to see. Which is why on the summary I mention both as possibilities because they are both being discussed on here.

The above is my opinion as BM poster but it’s not on the summary for that reason. It’s there because lots of people think both are possibilities 3 and 4 dedicated full backs.

The news and my opinion are irrelevant it’s just a summary of of what the BM reader would think was going on if they had the time to read the debates that I do most days!

I hope we get a good, young right-back to take the pressure off Walker.

Cucu/Cancelo on the left and Walker/New-Recruit on the right would be a perfect summer in defence, with no CB changes. I'm assuming that 93.20blue was mislead, and that there will be no "big name" this summer. My theory remains that we are saving the cash for Bellingham next summer.

Thanks for your opinions mate but you are presenting some of them as established facts. Nobody on here knows *the original plan*, for the simple reason that Pep and Txiki are unlikely to post here. There are reasonable guesses about our plans, that's all. Personally, I don't think we will sign two FBs.
