Not sure Pep has ever really had genuine defensive fullbacks, Alves, lahm, Raphina, Alaba, etc

Lahm was absolute class and an excellent defender, so Pep played him in midfield! Alaba could defend well too. Walker is probably the most defensive full back he has had, which is odd because he played quite an attacking role at Spurs with Rose at LB and is reliant on his pace in pretty much all defensive situations.

Abidal was probably the best defensive fullback Pep has had, although Walker’s right up there

not odd, hes just not that great on the ball

He is good enough to be more of an attacking threat. He got 6 assists for spurs the season we signed him then the same for us. Overlapping the winger and then playing it across goal largely, nothing complicated. There are plenty of times he could do that for City, or does burst forwards, he just seems to always check back and play it safe rather than attempt anything more creative.

[Delphinho]

Please no

 

[Mayor West]

I remember him being linked before he went to Wolves, been great for them, why not?

 

[richards30]

Just seen this, Sergio Gomez rumored to be part of the deal as well

 

[bell_mcfc]

Don’t believe it one bit. We have Josko and Ake. No CB leaving to make room either.

 

[TonyColemansbagofapples]

Ait-Nouri seems very technically accomplished to me.

 

[vincent]

Cracking player and Wolves fans rate him very highly.

 

[RayCTID]

Logical choice if we are to move Gvardiol more central but not sure he is in our summer plans.

 

[Stoned Rose]

Was mentioned a few seasons back.

If moving for a LB (seems unlikely) I’d prefer Kerkez (sp) from Bournemouth.

 

[Delphinho]

There isn’t a single thing this guy is better at than Miguel Gutierrez from Girona. Would probably be twice the price as well. I’d guess it’s Jorge Mendes working overtime again throwing his clients name out there to other clubs

 

[Tevez City]

Big yes

 

[MCFCTrick]

Not the Algerian fanbois again ... :-(

 

[bell_mcfc]

Basically slow news day and they’ve been on here!

 

[Gabriel]

Seem to recall back in 2020 that the French media reported he and his agent had visited our training ground and then that lot before he ultimately ended up in Wolverhampton. Has been linked with a host of teams in recent weeks so would take our interest with a fistful of Maldon.

I guess so. It's April. Players' agents, agents of their sponsors, etc. want to sell "stories" for their clients' exposure, hoping to attract potential buyers.

If City are ‘interested’ it shows they are a certain calibre of player as well. Might get Chelsea bid sort of thing they’d do.
