Right back options……

Vanderson for me would be the main target, he may not be as attacking and exciting as Frimpong but he's stronger defensively and jsut more well rounded.... so if we are gonna persist with a back 4 he works better

Don't think Monaco would charge a kings ransom, seen some reports for €25mil which worst case I guess could be as high as £30mil, well in our range

Likewise Fiorentina are apparently in financial trouble, looks like Kayode could be available for £20mil or less. He's still raw but he's athletic and probably even better defensively than Vanderson

Dumfries is a potential option but he'll wait till summer and likely will have a lot of suitors so hard to wait around for him, also he's primarily a RWB from what I know of him

All seems moot though as the club doesn't sound they they are targeting a RB, especially given Walker nor Rico are close to leaving
All good shouts there. Kayode was one I liked but he hasn’t had the game time this season. I’d throw Tino Livramento in aswell.
 
If we don’t have a youngster who can receive and pass the ball, overlap every now and then, and put in a tackle every now and then, what DO we have at the Academy?

Thought it was poor of Pep to comment about the Academy players on the bench as he did, too. They’ll never get better, and no-one will ever know what they might be able to do if we never give them the chance.

If not now, when we are decimated, when?
Same as no striker option for the bench

Good shout but I think thenissue with Timo or any Prem signing is they'd cost a 2 or 3 times that

What would Livramenti cost, £60mil? £70mil? And that will be in the summer

Compare that to £20mil to £30mil for Kayode or Vanderson

Think we're going to have to go big (like £80mil plus) on a new midfielder and a new centre back in the summer then maybe £50mil to £60mil on a new DM this Jan... can be a little shrewd I another areas especially given no full back really stands out

If there was a guy like Walker around I'd say go for it, but there isn't really so think Kayode/Vanderson make a bit more sense and may even be better than Livramento or Aina and other prem players

Why does Kayode sound familiar, did we have him at a CFG club? Maybe it's Kabore I'm confusing him with.

We signed a player called Kayode a few years ago he immediately went out on loan to Girona, don’t think he did much there. Seemed like a big mistake and city moved on somewhere else permanently. This is not the same Kayode.

That Kayode then went on to Shakhtar and ended up playing against us in the Champions League. Still playing in Turkey, I think.
