Left Back

[richards30]

TH has been saying Sergio Gomes at anderlecht.

So another young unproven player? We have Wilson-Esbrand that could do that roll? We need minimum of top class LB in the squad

We buy a top level left back then what do we do with Walker/ Cancelo? Walker is needed for speed at the back but Cancelo creates so much as well, neither would be happy keep rotating I think. Like others have said get a decent right back to understudy Walker and leave the left back to Cancelo, Ake and Zinny.

The club want Kieran Tierney. They were preparing a bid but focused on getting Haaland done

Good player but seems to get injured a lot

I’d prefer a right back not a left back. I really hate Cancelo on the right, I just see him as a left back. And it creates problems anyway having Cancelo and Walker both expecting to play most games. Just keep Cancelo on the left, with Zinchenko and Ake covering, and buy an understudy to Walker. Sorted.

Think we need 3 top level full backs. Its great we have cancelo who is so comfortable as a right footer on the left but would go for a recognised left back/footer personally

Dont want to see Cancelo at RB we dont need a LB a RB yes

Might help with the rotation conundrum ;-D

I understand that line of thought, he’s been fantastic at LB.
However, I’d love to see him get a run of games at RB because that’s the position where he earned his reputation / the position we bought him for, and it might well be the case that he’s even better at RB than LB . . . . . and wouldn’t that be something eh?

I think it'll come down to combinations of who is the wide player. Mahrez and Cancelo both coming inside with Kev clutters the right half space.

Cancelo inside, and Foden wide left seems to have a much nicer balance and the LCM doesnt really get into the same left half space Kev does/would.

One who sits wide and one who drifts inside would prob be my preference.

Tierney is the best left back on the list. Gets injured a bit though

Would Arsenal really sell him? Seems doubtful to me.
