I think we need a backup at left back (unless they really expect Josh WE to play a lot), but we can't base our strategy on the defensive crisis we had last season.yep, we shit the bed in the FA Cup and CL due to a defensive crisis. We were 20 mins away from fucking the league as well.
And we’ve decided to make that overstretched defence smaller and weaker.
Bit of an over exaggeration.
There were several issues over the 2 legs.
Bad misses from us, an inspired keeper, Vinicius jnr outsprinting Fernandinho, Dias clumsy tackle for penalty.
Totally agree with that, the only issue is we have let our back up LB leave, probably because he was told he would not be getting much game time with a new LB coming in, IF we fail to do that, it's far from ideal.Who have we not had a back up for?
We wanted Van Dijk, got Laporte.
Wanted Sanchez, got Mahrez.
Wanted Jorginho, got Rodri.
Wanted Koulibaly, got Dias.
Wanted Kane, got Haaland.
What does “wasting months” even mean? It’s another one of these phrases that comes from this childish attitude that all their efforts are focused on 1 transfer.
More likely than not.You really think he would turn Chelsea down if they agree a fee with Brighton?
Is this a creative writing course?

Silly money aka what we paid for each of Mendy, Walker, and Cancelo.I mean, if Chelsea offering a silly amount of money for him and raising his wage among Chelsea top earner his head can be turned.
I will not blaming him if he go to Chelsea instead because he have no other choice left already burning his bridge with his club and it's fans by handing his transfer request.
oh brotherDid you forget Zinny cost us the CL with his defense.
And we obviously want an upgrade defensively as Cancelo is mostly offensive minded as well.
You're probably right.Maybe he means CL final.

Towards the end of the season all four centre backs were injured, along with Walker. Our only other senior cover at CB was Fernandinho, and he was too slow now to play there. Cancelo was also suspended for the Real Madrid match, which led to Stones being risked and going off injured.
That's a once in a decade (or more) crisis.
