Didn’t Ederson start out as a left back…?

And he converted Zinny to a "left out". ;)Pep’ll convert Neymar into a left back if needed.

He has. All winning squads have peripheral players with the right type of personality, like Zinchenko.And he converted Zinny to a "left out". ;)
We shall see how the squad looks at the end of the window.

Maybe he is. But In the top ten most valuable players in world football? No chance.I think we might be biased to just pick out the United player. However much we don’t like them he is by far their best player.
Cancelo & Ake aren't bad at LB.
Agreed. But if we seek Zinchenko then we are even lighter there than we were last season which is what I said
If we get Cucurella I can’t imagine another full back. No need imo. We would have 3 top class full backs and now Ake staying, some cover.
As long as we don’t lose anyone else I don’t think the squad needs much more now.
The issue with that, is you lose one player you are fucked in two positions. Cancelo gets injured or suspended, Walker plays every game then, wears himself out. Cucurella also plays every game at LB as a consequence. Walker gets injured, Cucurella plays evert game then, as Cancelo plays every game at RB. Etc. And that's just with one. The club Could go with 3 and the flexibility, I am not debating there is logic in that, given the quality of players. But with 60 odd games to play, money to spend, 2 spare spaces in a squad, it would be irresponsible imo.
That is what we saw a lot of last season, and why we hobbled and limped over the line. Once one goes, the others have no rotation, and they are likely to go too.

Then what if we have miracle season where everyone is rarely getting injured and fit enough to play, what then?
It will only leads the same situation again, some player particulary that mostly get benched will be unhappy and we forced to sell him and getting his replacement.
