January defenders

[ScottSinclair]

12 months left on his contract in the summer. Might not be that expensive then

2 others that I saw earlier that had 12 months left come summer were Marquinhos and Varane. Pipe dreams perhaps, but we definitely should get in the ears of their agents

Both Marquinhos and Varanes contracts are running out in 2022, not 2021

My mistake then, sorry mate

Wouldn't mind getting in their agents ears anyway lol

 

[Sir Joe Aguero]

Anyone else see that upamecano story earlier?

If we’re not on that, we’re idiots. Him and Werner together would be gettable for the price of Ake, and would be top additions to where we need strengthening.

Upamecano and Laporte could be our fixed CB pairing for the next 5 years. Apparently he’s an absolute physical monster, and not too shabby playing out from the back.

If they’re willing to sell for £40/50 because of the contract situation, and Werner has a £30mil release clause, throw them £90/100mil total as a goodwill gesture/Fuck Bayern Munich statement.

RB Leipzig put a lot of faith in youngsters, get a good relationship with them now and start loaning our brightest prospects to them. Could pay for itself very quickly.

agree with all of this!!

So you think that the best left back in world football is worthless?

Leroy has 18 months left on his deal and wants out, we would be lucky to get £80 Mill for him alone

He is not the best leftback in football. That said, he isn't worthless either :)

 

[Dax777]

Would be cool to get Alaba in any deal seeing Sane go the other way. Then sign Sancho and Koulibaly. That'd be amazing.

Walker---Koulibaly--Laporte---Alaba
-------------------Rodri-------------------
-----------Bernardo--De Bruyne--------
--Sterling---------Aguero--------Mahrez

Cancelo------Dinho--THB------Mendy
----------Zinchenko---Gundo-----------
--------------------Foden-----------------
--Sancho---------Jesus--------Angelino

Signing Alabama will mean 2 of our 3 LBs are gone. No way we are moving Angelino to Winger. Not can barely cope technically as a fullback.

Was more just to fit him in the image. I’d definitely get rid of 2 of them if it made space for Alaba. Just not entirely convinced which ones yet.

Fair enough. Yeah, it's hard to decide at the moment. They are all playing poorly.

Zinchenko should either leave or be a rotation in midfield. I'm amazed we dont try him in the dm position. Seems to have all the qualities needed apart from height but hes a scrapper. We cant afford to have gundogan and zinchenko playing out of position. Either 1 should be dedicated position or move on. Cancelo was a crazy buy for us because frimpong who moved to celtic could easily of backed up Walker.
