Right back options

[Alexia_Ko]

The Sun? How old is he?

 

[handsofstone]

Out of contract this summer right? (BTW, not that we should believe the Sun)

Would be a fairly risk-free option for one of the best RB in the league

However, would potentially be a stop gap kinda move

There is a reason why he was signed on a free transfer at 27 by Forrest on a 1-year deal after his time at Torino and Fulham (loan) left a lot to be desired

This could very well be a purple patch of form

If they are available, I'd rather be getting someone like Vanderson, Livramento or Kayode etc. (Or Martinez in the summer) Who could nail the position down for the next decade

If Aina was like 3 or 4 years younger then maybe, I remember him back at Chelsea and he was quite promising.

If he is cheap or free, to replace Walker, im not opposed to it, cheap depth.

Would still want another younger high profile RB though.

Maybe we have our right back, ha...

If there’s a player I’d prefer as our RB from Benfica, it would be Bah. He’s miles ahead of Kabore. Unfortunately, Bah tends to get injured, but I’d still take him over Kabore 10 times out of 10.

Kabore is like a dog shit sandwich...

I liked the video and what you said... Until you said he tends to get injured...

He’s not as bad as our players, I assure you. The only season that stands out is 2023/2024, when he had a foot injury.

If we got Bah the RB and Bah the CB, I am sure we would be soild at the back!!!

And also hilarious.

I'm sold, buy both, Diomande and Robinson to rebuild the defense.

We could have done with that dog shit sandwich over the last couple of months.

Makes little sense. He is decent. But 28 and isn't going to develop further..good player but has no exceptional attributes.

He is Rico without age on his side.

I think we will end up signing Ola Aina. Being Homegrown is a bonus. He will be cheap due to his contract being up in summer. Kabore is an option to send to Forest either permanent or loan deal, to soften Forest losing Aina. That will not free up a place in our squad though, so Walker could potentially still leave.

I think this is one of the deals that is easier to get completed in January. Forest are not playing in Europe and although they are valiantly challenging for top 4 in Prem they probably will not want to lose Aina for free, leaving January only chance to recoup a fee or they will press him to sign a new contract.

He is nothing like Rico. He’s far better defensively, way quicker (I remember him outpacing Walker last year WITH THE BALL) and I’d argue he would add a bigger threat in the final third as well. Being PL proven and HG is also a massive plus. Only 6 months left on his contract and as @Blue Bogey pointed out we could offer them Kabore either on loan or permamently. This deal would make a lot of sense for us, and as we’re looking to add multiple younger players over the next two windows, possibly from abroad, it makes perfect sense to bring someone that would make an immediate impact

If we convince Aina to join he only needs to tell Forest of what he wants and they are not in a strong position. He joined them in 2023 on a 1 yr contract, which was rolled over only for another 1 yr in 2024. City can offer a 4 year contract. Means he can settle. Forest do already have another RB Neco Williams, he has been playing LB since Aina has taken the RB. Forest do still have options if they sell.

At first I was against this, but now realizing how many players we need to bring in, this being a quick walker replacement and reallt cheap isnt a bad idea.

We really need a pretty big defensive overhaul over the next few years, having someone who we dont need to wait too long to bed in and from the league is a good idea if its this cheap.

It would take the pressure off Rico too if we sign a RB.

I think he is slightly better defensively. Not far better. Rico is grossly underrated here. I think he is quite good 1 v1 just like Aina. They both keep possession very well. Rico better. And they both play under control. He may be faster than Rico but he is not exceptionally fast. If he beat Walker as you said, probably took a great angle. Besides, Walker is slower these days. I think Aina would put in more crosses if allowed to do his thing but he won't be. He'd be weaker going into the middle.

Decent player. But id prefer someone like Vanderson. I get it though.
