It would of happened if they were in the Champions League. De Jong isn't interested.

I doubt even that will be enough, it seems the only way he'll go to that shithole is if they drag him kicking and screaming :-))
There's easy ways to tweak around not having Cucurella.
1. Pep's go to is just play Cancelo LB, but I hope he plays Foden LW rather than Grealish, because Grealish with Cancelo makes no sense.
2. Could go with a sort of 352, and just play Foden as a LW/LWB stretching the pitch on his natural left foot, swinging crosses into Haaland and Alvarez.
3. Could play Ake as a defensive LB and tilt over to the right side (rather than left), which lets Cancelo at RB play more as a RWB. I personally really like this idea, as we typically always tilt left and let the RW handle 1v1s. Let's switch it, tilt right and let the LW handle 1v1s (Phil or Grealish). This can be kind of similar to 2) above.
4. Play JWE, I personally think this kid is going to be a massive success, he just has to stay fit. Just needs to be a rotation option for us, has alot to learn, but what he can offer in attack is potentially Davies level.
So I'm not that worried, still think selling Zinchenko and not securing Cucurella is pretty stupid, but I think that's 4 viable ways to still manage setting up our side.

Any left backOr just buy a natural LB?!
So what if we get him and don't win it? Twitter has done a number on some of our fans.Sosa is a Croatian. I cant believe that, we should get him for UCL
Or just buy a natural LB?!
Market for LBs is pretty shit.Any left back
Just buying any LB is very short sighted, and is more likely to make us play worse.
Why not use what we already have in better ways (or adapt what we have already been doing).
The only name I've seen is Borna Sosa, yet equally there are all these comments about suspect he is.
This is Manchester City, we don't just buy a LB just because, we would only buy somebody whose up there as a top LB (Cucurella was touted as this). There is no point going for anybody.
