Bro, tell me, what is that argument about winning the league IN COMMON with signing a left-back? IMO zero in common, because that position is a weakness and we have to upgrade it. It has zero in common if we have won the league or not. It's not an argument in terms of signing a left-back or not. That position is a weakness for ages for us and every club apart from City would like to solve that problem ;)

Fully agree with Ahsan. It's the most important position to improve and we are playing a stubborn game when we need to sign one player. In one year, or two years it would be still the same unsolved problem. It's not a wish, but an obligation. Everyone is happy with Haaland, ok, but that unsolved problem is alarming.
Zin is our Swiss Army Knife he can play in lots of positions not just left back. We should keep him for that reason and buy Cuc for left back. It doesn’t have to be a replacement if it makes sense.
I am beginning to feel that we will not sign a new LB until Pep leaves City.
Why? Pep has signed 2 'specialist' left backs, and anywhere between 2-6 'cover' left-backs in his time here.
As I said before. We need a LB regardless he stays or not.Zin is our Swiss Army Knife he can play in lots of positions not just left back. We should keep him for that reason and buy Cuc for left back. It doesn’t have to be a replacement if it makes sense.

We don’t know how good Cucu will be until signed. We do know that Zin fights and works hard for the team albeit with limitations.OK, I get the human aspect and I agree, but is Zinchenko a top left-back? For me no. So why is this a huge problem to sign anyone just for an upgrade? I simply don't get it that the club has left this unsolved problem for ages. It's never a priority for us, but Zinchenko will be targeted as he was by the counterattacking teams. Simply I don't understand "Here we Go" from Fabri and upgrades from Ornstein about Zinchenko and still our stubbornness about "not meeting the asking price" for Cucurella.
It is not a priority because we have players of quality who can step in when needed. If Zin goes we will buy a lb.
The fee is too high for Cucu.
Everyone knows that the fee would be too high, but better to pay 5-10m£ more than stay with the problem for the next year. We don't know if there is a possibility we would sign anyone cheaper. Everyone knows for ages that we should pay 50M£.We don’t know how good Cucu will be until signed. We do know that Zin fights and works hard for the team albeit with limitations.

Cucurella will be starting left back within a month and half of joining. Left footed , orthodox, great defensively which our left backs struggle at. He joins he starts, kept Salah quiet at anfield when Salah was in his best form last season
Yes. 100% agree.Cucurella will be starting left back within a month and half of joining. Left footed , orthodox, great defensively which our left backs struggle at. He joins he starts, kept Salah quiet at anfield when Salah was in his best form last season

I admire your optimism and hope you are correct. However, if we have to go with Zin again we would be fine. It’s not a problem position.Cucurella will be starting left back within a month and half of joining. Left footed , orthodox, great defensively which our left backs struggle at.
