We don't. Rodri is starting for us for good reason and Fernandinho is perfectly capable backup.

What you’re saying is who we have in the squad. That is different from saying we don’t need it

 

[samuelyeboah]

even if PSG were CL favorites, so what? we are not the rags who only buy players because they fear of their opponents getting stronger.

 

[decmancity]

I actually think this could consolidate PSG as UCL favorites

Who cares?

Any team facing us knows to attack the left side really so a lb would be welcome. No matter how good zinchenko is, how better he is getting he does lose concentration and lose his player, it’s still a weakness. That teams exploit.

Fernandinho's legs are gone. Whether you like it or not, he's not of much use to us this season on pitch, except as a key figure for the dressing room for another year, making sure everything is stable. But recruitment has to be done early in that area, the fixtures are tight, season is long. What If Rodri gets injured? You're telling me Ferna is capable of covering 30-35 games even?

If Rodri does his ACL playing for Spain next week our season is over. Fernandinho might play 1 game in 3 this season, and Gundogan at 6 for 9 months wouldn't be something I want to see.

That's a bad situation to be in at any position.

Being favorites makes them even more likely to crumble under the weight of the expectation... like they always do

Signed a striker yet

 

[sir baconface]

We might as well have given Serg another 1yr contract after all of this bollox

Yeah. He’s ripping it up at Barcelona.

Because of Pep

Correct, because Pep wants different things from a left back. So for us Zincheko and Cancelo are better left backs than Mendes. Which is why we aren’t at the moment looking for a new left back, and not getting Mendes will not impact our season. Amazed how may can’t see that Zinchenko and Cancelo are our left backs for a reason.
