Right back options

[birchwoodgingerste]

Wifried Singo, Monaco RB CB I'd be happy selling Akanji and getting Singo

We need homegrown now

Bobb is club trained.

So once ake and Stones leaves with grealish too. There's how many spots open in the AT? If we don't fill that up with best players available then we better hope all 17 foreign players are fit as a fiddle or our youth system gives us more quality.

All four will be un-used if they all go.

So ye we should be trying to get at least 1 this summer and hopefully another few gem pops up elsewhere next season

Now that makes me nervous. Love our transfers so far but not getting a right back will be a huge mistake.

That’s frustrating isn’t it? LB looks sorted with Ait Nouri but we should have had the RB tied up already as well? Livramento just isn’t going to happen so we should have been onto the next target already

Could we get Kounde outta barca?

 

[pavelsrnicek]

I think our issue on any further additions will be the fact we simply don’t have space.

With Livramento ticking the homegrown box it’s hard to see many viable alternatives. Ola Aina maybe but Forest seem to be difficult to negotiate with.

Were gonna have to ship more out than intended then. Gundo is taking up a space when realisticly hes not gonna feature, could flog Ortega? And get in a homegrown? Sell Akanji Bernardo potentially?

Aina is out of contract next summer

If not Livramento, then I expect we will be happy with Nunes as a wide RB, Lewis as a backup inverted RB, and Khus/Akanji as a defensive RB in a back 3 (this also uses more of the CBs we have).

We should use less CDs. The fewer, the better

Its clearly not ideal, and I think Ait Nouri is more important and its good to get that to free Gvardiol as a CB and not putting too much pressure on O Reilly.

Agreed. I think Nunes is a good enough RB to be honest.

Vanderson, whom I have calmoured for, probably cant fit in due to non-HG spots, but if its possible (maybe more go than expected) get him.

Vanderson would be lovely. But HG will be an issue.

 

[richards30]

Can Khusanov not just play RB?

 

[Zenmanc]

Could we get Kounde outta barca?

My guess is that we probably Kounde'nt.

 

[FromPollockToSilva]

If we don't want our RB to attack, then sure I guess

 

[Xhavenjoe]

Whats Hugh Grant got to do with it?

 

[birchwoodgingerste]

Will happen in the big games i imagine.

 

[xMatMcC]

We probably won't when Ait-Nouri plays. The template as of late has been 3 center halves and one wingback.

I expect we'll see plenty of these combo's:

Ait-Nouri - Gvardiol - Dias (other CB) - Khusanov/Akanji
Gvardiol - Dias - Khusanov (other CB) - Nunes/Lewis/new signing

I hear Pep is more of a vinyl or download type of guy.

 

[richards30]

Seemed nailed on Wesley was coming in?

 

[richards30]

If we don't want our RB to attack, then sure I guess

Could he not just push on up as an extra option? Would have pace to help Ruben, is a natural right sided defender as well?

Certainly possible, and no doubt will be a formation we use some of the time. We've played a lot of games with both NOR and Nunes, though. And Gvardiol plays pretty high and wide at left-back, he doesn't really just play as a wide central defender
