Tagliafico agent is saying nothing concrete.

really would be a mistake to not get him in imo.

Got a feeling we will try for alaba or no one tbf

My guy very quiet today. If they don't do it tomorrow, then they aren't going to do it without Zinchenko going. That's my gut feeling. I'd sit him in the stands but it feels like Pep doesn't want that.

Can’t rely on Mendy all season imo and zinchenko isn’t a LB!

Our current options are Mendy, Ake, Zinchenko and Cancelo.

From what we've seen of Ake so far and Mendy showing a few green shoots of recovery, I'm not going to be surprised if we don't go for anyone.

Laporte would be a better LB than Ake imo

square pegs again though mate?

Wasn't the comparison to Zabba for Tagliafico not Garcia?

I'm comparing a defender who gave everything to a defender who appears to give nothing

Pep has won about 30 trophies with square pegs.

I'm sure both Aké and Cancelo are terrific leftbacks, but that's not the point. If we decide to not go for a leftback, then we have Mendy who Pep doesn't trust and we all know he won't be good enough this season. Leicester was just a hint of what's coming if we don't bench him. Then it's back to Zinchenko and he's not good enough either. Then it's either Cancelo or Aké, but then we are short on cover for Walker, Laporte and Dias. It's not a good situation. Aké is needed at centreback and Cancelo is needed as a rotation for Walker.

We have to get Tagliafico, or honestly anyone good enough to actually defend that area. 22m for Tagliafico is not pocket change but for his quality, it's nothing. Five full seasons with Tagliafico before turning 32 years old.
