We need two decent full backs
And a midfielder who is able to play in the high tempo matches. If we want fullback, unfortunately we would be forced to sell one of our CB's.We need two decent full backs
Can the lesser spotted Kalvin provide that?And a midfielder who is able to play in the high tempo matches.
I have no opinion about Phillips, because I haven't seen him in any City game :P I think fullback (one or two) and central midfielder have to be priorities. Winger too. I'm not against Gundogan's extension, but I'm also agaist the stagnancy in midfield. But for me, the fullback situation is alarming. IMO Gomez's transfer was a bad idea, we need a player who is ready to play at the highest-level right now.Can the lesser spotted Kalvin provide that?
Personally,i think we fucked up allowing Bissouma to go to Spurs and by selling Lavia to the Saints.
Pep has hardly ever played with 2 traditional fullbacks, think he prefers one and the other fullback that can slip into midfield. Seems to work out okay. I doubt we'll buy a full back, unless Walker starts to fail.I have no opinion about Phillips, because I haven't seen him in any City game :P I think fullback (one or two) and central midfielder have to be priorities.

In 2020/21 we've started with Cancelo,Walker,Mendy and Zinchenko. Right now we have Cancelo, unproven kid Gomez and Walker who is in hospital. We have to buy 1 fullback in January IMO.Pep has hardly ever played with 2 traditional fullbacks, think he prefers one and the other fullback that can slip into midfield. Seems to work out okay.

We played the season with Cancelo, Walker, Zinchenko, we will play this season with Cancelo, Walker, Gomez plus a bit of Akanji and Ake. We will only buy a full back in the unlikely event Walker struggles when he returns.In 2020/21 we've started with Cancelo,Walker,Mendy and Zinchenko.

Acting like Zinchenko wasn’t basically equally “unproven” to Gomez and Mendy wasn’t in hospital like Walker.In 2020/21 we've started with Cancelo,Walker,Mendy and Zinchenko. Right now we have Cancelo, unproven kid Gomez and Walker who is in hospital. We have to buy 1 fullback in January IMO.
Yeh there not daft im sure we will have something lined up.We need fullback - one of two, central midfielder (number 8) and pacey winger that is able to play on two flanks.
