It's Quiet thread 14 - 'do one' edition

I like Gundogan, one of the few, but agree Saul is better. Probably just made up bollocks, was Caught Offside or something similar pedlars of rumours

Yeah there is so much shit spread around and touted as news its almost impossible to dig through - I just tend to look on here and thats it

So you want us to sign Wan Bissaka? Solid defender but useless going forward. No thanks.....

I doubt that's what he meant.

We could though actually sign a left fullback who is capable of playing there without defending like a twat most of the time.

Walker was the best player on the pitch v Real Madrid. More of that kind of thing will do.

Not sure where all this Phelan love in has come from as he was crap. He was fast and that was about it. He was way over priced and came absolutely no where near justifying the 2.5 million we paid. He was the 90's version of Wan-Bissaka. I have never seen a footballer have less control over the football. A real headless chicken.

Football is a game of opinions.... on this occasion yours is wrong.

Would excel in this side.

Speaking of left backs, do we think we'll be signing one and if so, who?

I thought we might leave it but Zinchenko's comments could mean he's out the door and if Angelino is sold we'd definitely need one.

Weren't we linked with Guerreiro at Dortmund not too long ago? He'd be a good option.

I think Ake might play left back on quite a few occasions.

Would Walker make a good CB?

Can’t believe we’re gonna make that 29 year old bambi on ice our record signing ffs

Thankfully it seems Pep and Txiki disagree.

Wan Bissaka is utter shit at everything except defending. Angelino is really good going forward and very very poor defensively.

We don't have to pick one or the other. There's a middle ground between these two. I just want us to sign a left-back who is good at both things.

It was a different game then, not so much the overlapping full back. His speed enabled him to protect the flank and get back when a player had breached it. I liked him, I remember before we brought him he kept David White quiet and I will never forget replacing him with David Brightwell against Kanchelskis!

I miss him hopping down the wing a couple of times a season after his hamstring went.

I can’t remember if he was actually any good then as I was at that age where I thought whoever played for us was the absolute dogs.

As for the here and now, we need a proper left back. It’s been a long time.

5:0 at OT with Simon Tracey in goal.

I feel as if it might be too late in his career, for his brain to adapt. Also, for some reason, he doesn't seem to dominate headers like you would expect.

It would take him about 2 days training to be better than the current level though, I imagine.

If Pep goes back 3 maybe ?
