You are aware he played most of the season as a left back and we won the league ,he was in the team of the year. Nobody is saying don’t get a left back, nobody is saying it won’t be a good option, we will get a left back. Those saying Cancelo can’t play there must have reset their memories when the season ended.You are aware he’s a right back? Filling in is ok but permanently needed and we are struggling. Lack of balance with no left footed left back, then playing a right footed winger also means we are cutting in and predictable. An overlapping left footed left back would help us in more ways than one.
No one, well apart from a few on here are saying or expecting us not to buy a full back. It’s a mass panic outbreak on bluemoon.We've got 2 fullbacks and 50+ games to play, plus a world cup. Ake can play a few at left back if need be, Stones could play a few at right back if need be. Until we sign at least one full back, it's our weakest position in terms of depth.
I don't see us going through the season like that, but that's the current position and I can't imagine Pep would be happy having made do at left back for the last four seasons
I wonder what you thought of Delph's impeccable performance at left back in the centurion season? Did you gnash your teeth seeing the team play so well without a so called proper LB. Let's go back more recently to the start of 2021 and how Zinchenko was one of the star performers in our team that snatch the league title(which BTW did not include his lookalike that undeservedly won PFA POTY) and also got us to a CL final.
Zinchenko never featured much last season because of health concerns but he did manage to save the season and end his career at City on a high note with his fortuitous sub that helped us make a comeback and retain the title. With his recent play and results, I fail to see how anyone could not qualify him as anything less than an excellent backup that played a big part in our success.
Should I remind people how much he was bought in comparison to that disaster of a first choice left back that never made much impact and lasting contribution on the field even when he was healthy. Let's just say I like Oleks and preferred his style to Cancelo and other so called "proper" LB's in the league.
Correct
you were half rightJust had a text Marc Cucurella done deal , sterling pushing for a move away.
He got into team of the year above the worlds best left back down the east lancs despite only playing about 5 games as a lb and 30 as a inverted lwb in a back 4 which he fuckwits paid to write about football don’t understand. Thankfully pep does and seems to excel at that kind of shit.You are aware he played most of the season as a left back and we won the league ,he was in the team of the year. Nobody is saying don’t get a left back, nobody is saying it won’t be a good option, we will get a left back. Those saying Cancelo can’t play there must have reset their memories when the season ended.
well by that argument we dont rate Cucurella that higly or we would have matched Brightons evaluationWould of been decent replacement for Ake but the better option was to keep Ake. Chelsea don't rate Ake too highly otherwise they would of matched our valuation.
A replacementQuick regarding what? Getting a replacement or paying up for cucurella?
