2 RBs, one who can't defend.

Bit harsh that mate - against most he’s fine, but against the very best he’s definitely exposed and comes up short.

Horses for courses, and Cancelo will have his games where he makes the difference for us - but being able to play Walker on the right and an actual left back who can stand up to the best on the left will give us a complete squad in my view.

I’d fancy us against anyone then - Madrid and Liverpool included.
 
Hahahaha. Did you support Chelsea or something 15 years ago when they were buying a shiny new toy every week of the transfer window ?

The fact you think you know more than Txiki and co about how to negotiate a transfer is an embarrassment.

How do you know we are now ‘having to find a new full back’ !? Do tell me ??

Maybe Pep (as he has stated more than once) is happy to go with what we have. Don’t tell me you think you know more than Pep too ?

Moron.
Moron calling others moron. Ironic.
 
The last sentence implies you have no idea whatsoever how transfers work. Leave it to experts like Txiki and stick to your laptop fella.
Me thinking it should have been possible to sign a fullback before the season starts implies I have no idea whatsoever how transfers work and I should stick to my laptop instead, alright mate. I think Txiki is great, and that he has done a great job for us over the years. But only a complete moron would think starting the season with only 2 senior fullbacks is ideal and was something impossible to avoid or something the club couldnt have done better.

What difference does who we get make to my argument?
Because if we start the season with two of the best fullbacks in the league and have enough cover in the squad by the end of the transfer window I'd say toure overreacting.

I was being economical with my words. I've been posting like a mad man, lol. I've said Cancelo is fine for 85 to 90% of our opponents. I've also said he can be magical offensively when he's in form. I meant can't defend - against high end forwards.

Pep never said he was happy he said he would go with what he had been given if he had to but it would be nice to have a left back.

In Pep speak that is as strong as it gets.

Hahaha - I know the feeling mate!

And yeah - Cancelo has so much upside to his game, but against the very best as a defender he’s simply not good enough.

That needs addressing - and I fully expect us to have a proper left back in place by the end of the window.

Anything less would be negligent.

Then why did you say I should wait and see who we sign before I complain, when you now changed your argument to "2 senior fullbacks is enough to start the season with as long as we sign someone before the window closes"? Your arguments are incoherent, and doesnt make any sense. But alright, you might think starting the season with 5 senior defenders fighting for 4 places (Cancelo, Walker, Ake, Stones, Dias (Laporte is injuried since last season still)) is fine, nothing to worry about or any reason that signing a fullback before the season started should have been a priority. I disagree and think we could and should have sorted this out sooner. That doesnt mean I'm writing the season off, or think Txiki is useless, just that I think we would be in a much better position if we had handled this situation with a bit more urgency. Lets agree to disagree.
