Left Back

[Jwoody19]

Sorry if this question has already been asked, but in the interview this morning Pep said, when asked about Cucurella, that we have George, Joao & Nathan can play there. Who tf is George? Maybe he meant Josh, it was an early one and he did look pretty tired.

Weah is back, haven't you heard?

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

I'm not sure we can play both walker and cancelo at left and right back at the same time unless we are cloning them. Walker comfortable at left back?

We have one defensive full back and one non defensive full back.

The mental gymnastics people are trying to pull are hilarious on this topic.

The won the treble the year before Pep turned up and 9 points clear in the Jan when he took it.

I think Pep agreed to join before that happened though, so Dom's right.

he was announced in the Jan, they were romping to the league title at the time tbf.

Only noticed he said annouoced afterwards.

People forget that when Pep accepted the Bayern job, Dortmund had just won back to back titles and hadn't won the CL since 2001.

I'm not saying it wasn't a challenge but, again, I'd struggle to call it adversity.

He chooses clubs who are at the top of their game in terms of structure and day to day operations; as he should because he's the best out there.

It's part of his high demands from himself and everyone he works with.

He signed the contract in October 2012.

Can we enquire about that Zinchenko guy at Arsenal ....he would be a good signing.

 

[Gaz (FMwkdsoul)]

Very much doubt thats a fact.

I know ste hes from warrington decent lad.

I don't really care if you doubt it, it is what happened, and is detailed in Pep Confidential by both Pep and Manel Estiarte in seperate conversations with the author.

Accepted the job in October, signed contracts early December, Announced January after Sky Italia find out because he contacted all the clubs who offered him jobs - City, United, Chelsea, AC Milan - and someone at Milan leaked it.

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

Dec now that sounds more like it. didnt think he'd have signed anything in oct.

I didn't say he signed anything.

I said he accepted the job in October, then you replied about when he took over in July, then you replied about when he was announced in January.

 

[Sir Joe Aguero]

£55m + £7m add-ons for Cucarella. Mental money. We could get Sergio Gomez, Sosa, Raum & Grimaldo for that.

You literally typed "he signed in oct 2012". My confusion.

Should bid, even if we're just bumping the price up for the stripey shirt pricks

I think it's this George.

It’s funny really, we’re all panicking about full back cover but the scousers have very little. TAA backup is a teenager called Ramsay and Robertson is tsmikas who is decent but nothing more. if we sign Gayá or similar for 30m I think we’re all good with 3 quality senio full backs and a good youth lb in Wilson esbrand
