Left Back

[Del_Bosque]

Ake and Laporte can play there and stay deep as an extra CB

Zin and Cancelo can play there and tuck into midfield, albeit one attacking one defensively.

What we need is someone who can overlap and provide width, that option would definitely see the full benefit of Grealish as the opposition wouldn't be able to double up on him.

@Ric should start a ‘players who might improve us’ thread in transfer sub-forum to put this kind of stuff in….

Would be a strange one. He was a potential superstar in the making at youth level for Spain but never really kicked on at Dortmund.

As far as rumours goes lb is still not a priority. So i guess we’re not selling Zinchenko unless west ham offers alot of money for him.

We won't sign a left back. Cancelo is our first choice left back now at least until walker is finished and possibly even beyond as he seems better on the left. we have zinchenko who has proven time and time again to be a very accomplished left back, never let's us down and a vital squad member. That's our two left backs, in addition we have Ake who is more than a cb playing out of position, he's played there a lot throughout his career and is a good option there. Laporte is an emergency choice.

If we sign a fullback it will be a right back, there's less options there, it's walker, then our first choice left back then stones who isn't as good of a fit there then any of the 4 left back options.

I don't believe we will sign any fullbacks this summer though. The defensive balance is good, it's just about manageable to keep them all happy with their roles, an extra body means less games for them all and then suddenly we've got 2/3 unhappy next summer. Unless there's an unexpected departure I don't think we touch the defensive side of our squad this summer other than replacing dinho.

Not good enough and too small for the defensive role, Pep didn't use Angelino who is about the same size as Gomez but way better than him. I don't see this happening. How about that Porro, is he still on loan or did we actually sell him?

Porro is on loan but there is an option to buy.
