Right back options

Are we seriously not looking into any RB options this week?! How can Khaldoon, Pep, Soriano and Viana see Lewis & Nunes as RB options and say: 'Yeah, that's good enough to compete with Liverpool, PSG, Arsenal and Barcelona'.

Is it not fairly comparable to Bradley / Frimpong and Timber / White though?

There's just hardly any good right backs, even fewer in a sensible age range to buy.

Hakimi, Livramento, Gusto, Vanderson, Frimpong, Porro. There are great right backs out there.

Let's be real though Gusto, Porro, Hakimi aren't getting sold, Frimpong can't defend at all, Vanderson a bit more of a wildcard but not outstanding and the one left, Tino, seems to be one we actually want but can't have.

I'd say the only unobtainable ones are Hakimi (PSG would have to be insane to sell him) and Frimpong (just joined). Livramento, Gusto and Vanderson are all options. Dumfries and Munoz are also options.
I'd go with Vanderson/Dumfries now and then buy Livramento next Summer as well because if one is injured we're screwed once again. Vanderson/Dumfries would be a starter for this season and for next season: Livramento starter, Vanderson/Dumfries backup.

i think Gusto is somewhat made for us

is PL proven player
played under Maresca, who was Peps asst.man and should know what Pep would want from him, so learing would take a little time

Chelsea are somewhat stacked in RB - James, Acheampong and Gilchrist are still there, so price would be affordable

But we have to be interested and I don’t think we are bothered about signing any right backs this summer .
 
We don't know what Khusanov's potential is at right back. At centre-back he has an outstanding potential. There is a question mark over his ability to control possession.
 
So we are 3 days away and still no deal that tells me we are not bothering
i think Viana is still trying to clear house before starting to shop

Ederson, Ortega, Akanji, Ake, Gundogan, Nunes, Savio are up in the air

also non-main squad are still up in the air - Kabore, Phillips, JWE etc
 
What we wanted from the start of the summer window:
Guehi, Cambiasso, Eze Donarumma, Reijnders, Ait Nouri

he’s got 2/6 and Cherki and Trafford. He’s been average at best tbh.
Speak for yourself. I have zero interest in Cambiaso or Guehi. And Eze was only coz we seemed to be in For Gibbs White. Many would have preferred Eze, but its all moot coz we got Cherki instead

Its been 3 of 5: AIT Nouri, Reijnders, Cherki, Livramento and Donnarimma. We got 3.5 of 5. As qe also got Trafford

It’s been a decent window but the worry is the he direction we go in and prod reluctance to change which is gonna really fuck us . As for right back that is astounding that a club of our status cannot get one over the line but I think it’s more to do with pep and his tinkering .

Savinho is staying. I think everyone else will still leave ( maybe beside ederson ). Doubt Gundogan wants to stay on the bench as the last option

The only player who I am strongly convinced will improve our first XI is Reijnders. That means that the players around the fringes of our first XI will need to step up. Khusanov, O'Reilly, and Bobb might be expected to do so. We have also let Echeverri go out on loan. Pep is not very ambitious with his development of young players. I had high hopes for Echeverri but Pep prefers ready-made players. I suppose any manager would do so.

No. Not in the slightest. They are far superior fullbacks, I actually think Timber is the best RB in the league

going off what they’ve done in the past, they could quite easily think that unfortunately. Our recruitment has also been pretty average this past few years anyway
