Marc Cucurella

Fuck Cucu, I’m on the Sergio Gomez train….

Spoken like a true supporter. Cucu who? -:)

As things stand City decided to quickly solve the central positions with Haaland, Phillips and yes Ortega,
but - even though we had many half solutions on LB over the years - didn't sign Cucurella although financially easily affordable.

Maybe the club and Pep don't rate LB as highly as most on here
and believe they will always find solutions within a strong squad?

As said, it's a huge games when we have top opposition, we get targeted in that area for a reason.

I’m not sure of where I’ve stated otherwise. A top quality LB completes this squad with Cancelo rotating across RB and LB.

I do think you are over exaggerating the problem slightly though. We’ve won the past 2 PLs and almost reached back-to back CL finals with our LB issues.

I think the issue we currently have is a lack of depth at full back rather than quality.

Still not sure about Cancello personally, when he is on his game he is an outstanding player, but when not he is dreadful.

Walker is a superb player, one of the most effective in the whole squad.

City making him hand in a transfer request helped Chelsea get a smooth deal.

how do you come to that conclusion? the fact that Chelsea offered Brighton their valuation , did that not help?

Alexis would of played well under Pep. Mourinho got him playing as a borderline wingback, which suffocated him. The 18 months prior was all good quality form. United put him on a ridiculous salary though

LOL Sanchez's legs had gone at Arsenal, we dodged a huge bullet not that I don't think we played the raggys in a very naughty way.

Defensively, Walker is without a doubt our most important player. The CL semi against Madrid proved that.

I do think Cancelo is hugely underrated by some fans. Probably because when he’s poor, he’s proper shite. But there’s no full back in the world I’d take over him when he’s on top form.

I do think a natural left back would give us a lot more options other than depth though. I think an overlapping, attacking LB would help Grealish out and maybe even provide chances for Haaland. It would also make us far less predictable as well.

[Tangled up in blue.]

People saying bcos we signed Haaland Txixi can't be criticised.

By not signing a decent Leftback the good work of getting one of the best young talents in the world will soon become undone. We will get found out later in the season when we've got a game every 3 days and we dont have the squad to compete.

What happens if Walker and Cancelo both get injured , its possible, it happened with our cb's last season

Was never a target anyway ;)
