Need to be careful with young full backs from la liga. I have not seen much of this lad to be fair but the lad the scousers bought, Alberto Moreno, was tearing up that league at full back last year and he is absolute shite in the Premier League. Looks a liability every game. Maybe someone who watches more La Liga than me can tell me if he is performing better then Moreno last year and if he can transition better from what they have seen?

Bernat I agree is a good player but you also have Moreno and Monreal who haven't been great. Manquillo not made much of an impact either.
Just think we need to be careful with the left back position as we are all hoping Mangala comes good next season on that left side so I would prefer maybe someone more established with Clichy as backup. Rodriguez at Wolfsburg looks a player we should be looking at while hoping Angelino can replace Clichy in a few seasons.
Manquillo barely played for Athletico and Moreno being shite defensively has nothing to do with La Liga, glad we didn't go for him he put in one of the worst left back displays I've seen in the Europa final. Any one who watched him once in La Liga could've told you he was a liability defensively. Gaya miles better don't matter though doubt we have a chance of getting him.
Well the initial assumption is wrong, Moreno never tore up the Spanish Leaguue. He was average there, and he has been average for Pool. and yes Gaya is a lot better, and Moreno transferred pretty well. He was average in La Liga's and has continued to be average here.KevR_7 said:Need to be careful with young full backs from la liga.

Signing this player would effectively end Angelino's career here. We struggle integrating 1 youngster into the team, no chance of having 2 teenagers in the squad, let alone in the same position.

I take it you know more about the player than me, he's just a name to me, but you see my point? If we are to successfully integrate academy products into the first team we have to invest a bit of faith in them, and this signing would represent the opposite of that.
