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.
In the above post, yeah perhaps. In the previous one he was just summarising the discussion on the last bunch of pages, as I read it, and 3FBs or 4FBs has been common. We had the same cycle of 3CBs or 4FBs a few days ago.
not my fault!

I took my sleeping bag with me, covering all bases and all that.Can't believe you're not still standing by your bed ffs
Keep them coming mate, cheers.SUMMARY: For any visitors who look in on this thread and want a quick update but no more…
1 Out
Zinchenko to Arsenal
2 In
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.

Well I’m not tying to. Yes I don’t know Pep. Just like you don’t know him either. There are just as many reports that City want 4 dedicated full backs as 3. In fact I can’t recall any saying we are happy with 3. Again I put both down as possibilities.Thanks for your opinions mate but you are presenting some of them as established facts.

The plan (yes they guessed too) was explained by a number of reporters and some posters on here when lots of people (including me) queried why we were after another left back instead of help for Kyle on the right. They might be wrong they might be right.
What was reported was that we wanted Cuc whether Zin stayed or not…that would have been 4 full backs had Zin not left. Plenty of posters on here can see that Pep might still want 4 full backs and that if Zin leaves we would at least try to sign two replacements.
I’ll try to make it look less like my opinion going forward …its only meant to be what is being talked about as possibilities on here.

See above (if Zin goes)I highly doubt we are getting a 2nd fullback along with Cucurella but ok.

Putting aside thinking the club will go into the season with 3FBs again when we lost one early last year, which you are not alone in, do you think the club will go into the season with 2 spare squad spaces, and a 2 player smaller squad than last season, which was already a small to the point it was a struggle?

The giddiness of last night seems to have subsided, thank fuck. It was getting a tad silly at times.
I don't get the debate...Cucurella was targeted months ago as a replacement for Mendy...Zinchenko decided to take Arsenal up on their offer this week...the fact that we haven't secured Cucurella doesn't then turn him into a "replacement" for Zinchenko...Zinchenko will now need to be replaced, not, however, by Cucurella but by someone else...it could be Raum...it could be Villa's Mitchell...it could be someone from the youth ranks like Wilson-Esbrand, but it has to be someone...some on here are saying Zinchenko is indispensable yet are arguing we don't need a 4th FB, which prior to Mendy's suspension that's exactly what Zin was...
