Right back options……

He was born in Milton Keynes, raised in Liverpool, was a youth player at Everton from age 11 and played at Bolton, Wigan & Fulham - don't think he's touched any development system in the states. Fair enough if you don't like him as a player but not sure anything else is applicable.

One of my old colleagues is a Wigan fan - he told me about Robinson and Reece James when they had them, so I kept an eye out. Personally think he's very solid defensively, quite fast and has popped up in attack more over the past couple of seasons. A good profile and could do the Walker role on the left.
I didn't realize his development pedigree is in UK; thanks for pointing that out to me. He's a good player and we need dedicated fullbacks on both sides, so I would be pleased if he arrived at City for a reasonable amount of money. How much do you feel he is worth on the market? For £35-40 million, I would fine with him, but I have a feeling that we will be required to pay far more than that, and I would prefer a right back in January, given Walker's age, injury history and recent poor form. James is a fine player, but I don't want him as he's always injured.
 
My own personal opinions but I think one of the four will be city’s next Right Back, the market is extremely small.

Vanderson
Singo
Frimpong
Arnau Martinez

That’s also in my priority order, I don’t think Frimpong is the right fit in this current system but Pep could obviously make it work, I also feel as if a bit like Trent AA, he’ll be targeted and always labelled as unable to defend. Singo and Vanderson I don’t claim to know loads about but I like Vanderson and his defending statistics are brilliant, will link below. I can’t see how it won’t be any of these names if they actually buy a RB, however city are a lot smarter and more knowledgeable than me.

Id go

Vanderson
Martinez
Frimpong
Singo.

I like Singo the least by a large margin. Vanderson the most. And a slight edge to Martinez over Frimpong due to his versatility. But the presence of Rico might mean versatility is not as high of a value as we have that already.

I'd like a fullback who can break the press with speed, a pass or a dribble. It will totally change the dynamics of getting pressed. Frimpong has all that in his arsenal. So I really rate that.

Vanderson for me just ticks every box. Watching him play with such livewire energy is intoxicating. Haven't seen thT at City in months :(

We need more of that all over the field. Firebrands everywhere.

We’re not allowed to do any business with Girona before September 2024, Arnau is not an option
