I have to admit it seems like we are one injury short of a major problem. I don’t get waiting till the end of the window let alone January (when clubs really don’t want to sell usually) With the points ceiling so high a poor start could see the gap bigger than we would like.I would have said this when we still had Zinchenko but we've currently got two senior full backs and one of them is 32 and has been having increasing fitness issues over the last three seasons.
Not signing a left back now would be incredibly stupid.
Its a gamble.

There seems to be a huge amount of flapping going on this morning - did we lose a friendly or something?
Not sure anyone is flapping, just an honest realization that we urgently need a LB.There seems to be a huge amount of flapping going on this morning - did we lose a friendly or something?

And fill all 3 positions at one and the same time. An absolute bargain and Pep's perfect player.Yep incoming Philips our new left back who can also fill in as a centre back plus midfield

Yeah of course we do and the club will know that too...Not sure anyone is flapping, just an honest realization that we urgently need a LB.
I guess I must just be the most chilled out City fan this morning?
We have no actual idea where the Cucurella bid is at (apart from Twitter rumours as far as I know which are as reliable as Jimmy Carr's tax return) so the deal may not be "dead" as some are saying.
If we don't have a Plan B then that says that we are confident of Plan A or there is nobody else that ticks all the boxes at the right price...?
The price thing is quite interesting really because we know we have made well over £200m in sales so if we are being "prudent" with our cash that says to me that we are looking further forward than this window... Bellingham next year maybe or someone else

Some possibly, others just using the forum for what it was intended - debate.There seems to be a huge amount of flapping going on this morning - did we lose a friendly or something?
Completely agree, although the fee may have increased because City were at the table.Where were the scouting team when he signed for Brighton for 15m?

Yes, that must be it. If we had just won against Liverpool everyone would think that starting the season with 5 fit senior defenders competing for 4 places is more than enough and no reason to worry.There seems to be a huge amount of flapping going on this morning - did we lose a friendly or something?
