Our recruitment isn't just seeing a player and getting him, Pep want's to know their temperament and how they'll fit in with the squad. That can take time.
I still think we'll go with what we've got for the season.

Spot on. Pep has said himself that he wants “good people” and he looks for those qualities before the football side of things. The club knows we need a full back and many of the names above have probably been mentioned but the main reason we might not have moved yet is due to the player not being the right fit for our dressing room.
We will get a good guy when he becomes available otherwise we wait. The dressing room dynamics is more important. This approach is why we don’t see many players kicking up a fuss over game time. No bad eggs needs apply.

Pep would play Haaland at LB ahead of some random player that Txiki has pulled out of the scouting system if it came to it.

I just find it fucking mindboggling that we have a worldwide network of clubs, therefore the biggest scouting network in the world, transfer execs pulling 100’s of thousands in wages a year and the only fullback we can find to do a job for the season is a fucking mop head from Brighton who they wouldn’t sell in our budget.
6 defenders going into a season, 1 of them coming back from Knee injury.

Last week after Cucu went to Chelsea, things were looking hot for S.Gomez + Sosa, somehow they just died out. Starting to feel like we'll just go with what we have, which is extremely unfortunate tbh.
If we do then let’s hope we have a season like never before and avoid injuries because if we get injuries at the back we are fucked . People seem to forget that we were very lucky in the end to win the title last season and injuries at the back caused it and we have now actually gone out and weakened an already weak full back position by getting rid of one of our most reliable players .

Still find it mental we let Zinny go! He would excel in the role Cancelo played on Sunday when he needed a breather.

You can find links going back to last year, he was on the alts list this season. He'd have been scouted with the rest when the list was drawn up.
