Naive.
Every club plans the future, and everything about the future is hypothetical, e.g. "If we sign Haaland we'll score more goals" or "If we sign Cucu we'll have a better LB than Zinch", and so on.

Cucurella to CITY
Cucurella deal no further on. The clubs seem no closer on valuations. Borna Sosa is the favourite alternative if a deal cannot be struck.
City rejected an offer of £16 million for Delap from Southampton.
City are deciding whether to loan McAtee or keep him. Half the PL want him on loan so the decision is likely to a joint one between City and the player.
Today has all been about Esbrand. His first team performances have been so good that some posters, who thought we needed two left backs, now think we need only one. Some that thought we needed only one now think we don’t need any. Another stream of thought is that we should still buy a left back but as a back up to Esbrand. Everyone wants a solution before we play West Ham given that any new signing will have already missed most if not all all our pre season training.
We have a brilliant Academy.
The window closes 11PM on 1st September.
I’ll post one of these most evenings around this time on this thread
You are welcome.

That’s fine. Not everyone can be correct.Doubt it. Cancelo/Walker will still be the first choice.
Not at all. I could easily counter your argument by asking what if JWE has more injury setbacks, we miss out on Cucurella cos all of our eggs are in JWE's basket and Cucurella signs for one of our rivals and turns out to be a world class left back?Naive.

A lot can change very quickly in football and we need a left back now - can't afford to wait for a largely unproven 18 year old, who has been hampered by injuries for the last 2 seasons, to perhaps fulfil his potential. If he is good enough, and better than Cucurella, then he will replace him
Btw it’s ridiculous to include Haaland in this conversation as we knew we were signing a proven goalscorer

we need a left back now
True.
We are signing Cucurella imo, just need to be patient. No chance they miss out on this player after selling Zinchenko. He’s absolute class from what I’ve seen & also clearly fits the nice guy tag Pep likes. Feisty fucker too on the pitch, will be a great addition.
JWE will maybe get 2 cup games at most.The way I see it is we will go into the season with
Cancelo/Walker/New LB/JWE with Cancelo also playing left back when we want to start him and Walker together.
