Our glaring weakness at LB, will it be fixed?

[Blueknows]

LB is a nightmare position to find real quality for anyone, Alba, Alaba, Marcelo, Azpilicueta, Rodriguez (Wolfsburg). Gibbs at Arsenal. cant think of many more, think our LB would be an upcoming player, certainly cant see any of those mentioned leaving their respective clubs.
Maybe Pep could bring Bernat with him.

Id rather we strengthen our defence than be looking at the likes of Pogba and DeBruyne

Noticeable again today every time kolrov vacated his position they attacked down that side like many have said good going forward naff at the back

Azpilicueta, might have just come on the market, rumours that Chelski have agreed Rahman fee

No.

 

[salfordbluetrue]

we might want a lb but the manager wants a wing back and unfortunatly thats what we have two left backs that cannot tackle

I mentioned an upcoming player, this lad looks a talent, is highly rated but relatively unknown, Chelsea sounded him out as well I believe.

There are lots of good LBs. We just haven't focused on the area. Digne, Ghoulam, Orban,Gaya Benat, Avelar. Just to name a few up and coming. Who are as talented as the more popular guys. No one rated Aspiculetta when he joined Chelsea. We simply have to just get one of the well rounded LBs and turn him into our star over the next 2 years. Personally, I'd go with Gaya or Avelar.

Baba is there to backup Azpiilicueta, who might be the best one v one defender in the prem. Why would Chelsea consider selling him.

Why are we fucking about with this? It's not like anyone else seems interested.

I find this hard to believe witnessing Navas beat him with ease him at Stamford Bridge last season.
