Right back options……

If we can find another Zabaleta type we'll be sorted.

Spill the beans please I have not heard anything about Ake. Not had my ear to the ground.

Rumoured to have done his hamstring again worse than what he was recovering from.

Yes, I am aware this Cambiaso model has been making waves and still relatively unknown. A very good player, I think he is left footed and the Italians tend to know a thing or two about defending too. I would support him being signed as a LB. Just the club don’t seem to be linked with LB’s.

In Juve's 16 games in Serie A and the CL he has started 14 times, 7 on the left and 7 on the right. He's also started 3 of Italy's 4 Nations League games, all on the right. He's equally adept on both sides. His ability to make runs and cross from the right side are very good. JMO, but I think he'd be a very nice addition to City...

If he plays that well on both sides that is invaluable.

If the Ake news is true that might change swiftly!

Akanji can do left back for me. Move josko into rodders position. It won’t happen though. Shame for Ake if true, he’s a big miss when fully fit.

Stones into DM mate? If Ake is out then Gvardiol has to stay LB? Or maybe Kova looks better in DM if the likes of KDB, Grealish, Doku get back fit?

Hakimi needs no introduction. - currently dividing opinion due to alleged allegations against him.
Gusto, classy little number - agreed.
Frimpong ex academy.
Porro, we know can do the job - I get the impression he is a little bitter towards us because we didn’t bring him to City when we first signed him only loaning him. Otherwise has been excellent for Spurs.
Simakan, bit like Akanji, but a better footballer. - I like simakan, definitely powerful and has legs on him to get up and down the channel. He has left RB Leipzig now in summer and is playing in Saudi so may be on very high wages.

Spot on.
Hakimi has his problems, but so has Walker.
Porro for me is a big a mistake as Trippier was, but would probably cost more than any other.
Simakan is up for the Saudi challenge according to the tweets, but that could change come the summer.

Vanderson by the way is a good player that gives away far too many fouls out of desperation.

Stones is the obvious Rodri replacement but will only play 50% of games. I would like to see Gvardiol tried there but I guess he is needed on the left side of defence if Ake is crocked again. I miss the days when we could take good players off the likes of Arsenal.
