Left Back

[itisrising]

I don't get the flapping, do we need a left back? Yes. Are we in a significantly worse position that last year if we don't get one? No.

Walker and Cancelo are comfortable playing RB and LB respectively. We have basically swapped Zinchenko for JWE. He is not as proved and a completely different type of player being pacey and at a guess nowhere near as comfortable or experienced on the ball as Zin was. He will give us a different dimension overlapping out wide and having pace. If we go into this season as we are our cover is a bit less experienced and a bit lighter than it was last season our starting 11 is stronger.

With Ake as experienced cover too if we need it I think we will be fine

JWE made how many appearances for us last season? And you expect that he'll be able to walk into Zinchenko's position as number 2 LB? If Cancelo gets a major injury, you're comfortable with JWE who's never started a PL game being our first choice LB?

There's no problem with integrating a youth player but that's not integrating, that's bad planning and basically throwing a kid into the deep end.

You might not agree but pep has form…

He does have form of putting DMs as full backs tbf. It turns into a nightmare, but maybe he's a masochist.

I know it would mean dealing with Levy but apparently Sergio Reguilon wants out of spurs. I thought he looked decent whenever i've seen him.

Levy says he's never, Losing my Reguilon

I wonder how much Levy is going to ask for Reguilon seeing what Cucurella has just gone for.

Anyone know anything about Spanish lb adria pedrosa who plays for espanyol? Brighton linked to him to replace cucurella wonder if he is worth a punt

Why? You want us to be dicks? Lol

I don’t understand the poll. It has a bunch of players we haven’t even been linked with but then doesn’t have actually the best fantasy signing left backs…

 

[Mezrah]

I'd try and get Gaya. As much as everyone knows he loves Valencia. He Also looks a player ready to move on!

 

[Rebelblue]

Is Pavard linked at all? Always seems a tidy player to me.

Obv a right back option to cover walker so Cancelo can be left alone a lb

 

[RayCTID]

Pavard has started for Bayern so I doubt they are going to sell now. Gaya is a good option but the question is he on the club's shortlist. The other question is the club going to stick to what we have got

 

[Rebelblue]

Club must be planning something. Would be nuts to leave it as is. Certainly want 4 full backs at the very least.
