Left Back

[WRicko]

What about the left back Spurs are looking at ? Or maybe JWE will become a key squad player. Just seen Angelino is going on loan thought he had been doing well seems odd Do we have a sell on or buy back haha

We need a left back, to take over at left back for games when the teams won't park the bus. Cancelo, is not it.

Not sure what you were picking up from my post to respond with that?

We need an additional LB for depth and preferably a left footed one to overlap for width - getting the best out of Grealish and a better crossing option for Haaland. Acting like none of the available options can do that at a level equal to or greater than Zinchenko is crazy

We won’t sign one.

It was Cucurella or go with what we have.

There is nobody obtainable that’s good enough to challenge for a starting spot at LB. All the options listed in the poll are nowhere near good enough and would be a massive downgrade on Zin.

The club don’t panic buy and haven’t now for a long time.

Wilson Esbrand will step up.

Agree, whoever we sign would only be a back up player to Cancelo, surely we have Ake and Wilson Esbrand that can do that comfortably.

No, cancelo cannot play at lb against the best teams. The end.

Sorry, yeah, I'm not picking up on your post per se, but if people are getting frustrated that we sold our only back up left back (who, whether the stats bear it out or not, was certainly less prone to the stand still ole tackle that is Cancelos raison d'être), I can totally understand, and my personal feeling is he was overall a slightly better defender.

All in all, i think we all probably agree that we need a fucking left back!!

I just hope we get someone. We're so close to finally having a team where Pep doesn't have to yet again work his magic and transform a player into a position that they've failed to buy for him. Every season we've won the league, we've done it with a fucking midfielder playing left back, or a midfielder playing as a striker. Although knowing Pep, he'll be shit when he's finally got the right players in the right positions.

I would give EWB a go.
A LB/WB that I have been impressed with is Cornet. Yes a step up but with Pep improving him could be nice attacking fit. Plus around 20m

At least it won’t be boring. I’m looking forward to seeing what wacky thing Pep does to try and fix it.

Maybe Grealish or Foden can play left back.

One more game without scoring and we should stick haaland there till Xmas and stick a cheeky £80m bid in for Luke Shaw in Jan.

Ake at lb is shit. He is zero creativity.No idea why everyone keeps bringing it up. Pep would rather play him as a goal keeper. Foden and grealish as LB.. what I am reading. Has everyone gone crazy?!
