We should still be after a right back, Kush is a centre half long term. Maybe Newcastle will have a shit start to the season and look like missing out on CL money and be more receptive to a Livramento offer.

He is but he's at such a young age he can easily be converted. Livramento I'd take let's hope he doesn't sign a new deal.

Gvardiol Bah Khusanov Livramento could be an absolute monster back 4 in a few years.
 
There'll be no room for anyone coming in January, but I'd like to see us sign another couple of youngsters and leave them with their clubs.

Khusanov is a centre back, but still the best RB we have.
Lewis not good enough, too weak, not aggressive, poor positioning, switches off. I wish we’d sell him.
Nunes is an average midfielder standing in the RB area because we’ve no-one else.

Definitely need a right back.

It seems a little strange that we bought Ait Nouri where we already had O Reilly, Ake and Gvardiol who could cover that LB position in preference to buying a RB.
 
Been watching and keeping an eye on a few players who have caught my interest recently.

If we can't get Adam Wharton, we should look at Manu Kone. I honestly can't say he's had a game below an 8/10 every time I've watched him for Roma or France. Looks mustard.

Livramento is the obvious.

I'd go for Guehi in January or the summer for CB to reventually replace Stones/Ake, but I worry about his Aerial ability.

Yildiz. Every time I've watched him he's looked special. He can't half hit a ball this too.
 
I've been making an effort to watch Livramento quite closely and he's a superb player. The only concern I would have is his injury history, maybe its worth watching to see if he gets through this season without incident as that will then be 2 years playing a lot of football.

To City particularly he's probably worth paying 100 million for, he's not just 'a solid right back' he can also cover left back seamlessly and he's just a fantastic all around player with very few weaknesses. He could easily develop into a Lahm, Kimmich sort of player. He's quick, a good passer, good dribbler, tall, strong etc etc. We would get a first team stalwart for a decade if we went and got him.
 
Right back enabling Khusonov to play more central...Id love to see him play there.
