Right back options
- Thread starter Bubbagump

Yesterday watched Cagliari vs Sassuolo out of boredom and Marco Palestra catched my eye
Kinda weird that there is no links to him
Can use both feet, good at crossing, dribbling, defending can play both as a defender and a winger probably even in the midfield also has a good physicality with crazy speed and acceleration

I hope whoever we get is better then Nunes and improves the teamI hope any RB we do get isn’t one that’s going to walk in and take Nunes’s spot. He should be the starter (Nunes) and whoever comes in be the back up.
IMO anyway.
We don’t need one.
Nunes has been top this season and Khusanov can cover there if needs be.
We do the squads need a young long term option at right back. Nunes is starter right now but every other position has a young player that is for the future, apart from right back. Khusanov is going to be our starting centre back. Most our right back targets are under the age of 22 Livramento the oldest at 23.
So the club are looking long term. Kayode for example if you give him a 4 year deal he will be 25 going into his prime when Nunes will be 32 at the end of his prime.
Or Givario Read will be 23/24 ready to step in, it just improves the squad so that when Nunes is injured or needs a rest you've got his understudy ready to slot in instead of make shift cover, it provides competition to Nunes meaning if he makes a error or mistake the young right back is there to take his spot.
Competition improves the overall squad and the players in that position.

I agree but it’s going to be harder to convince them players who are starting at their clubs to give that up to be a back up to a player that isn’t even a right back? Obviously money helps and a bigger club but still a tricky sell imo unless Livramento is signed and he is the main starter

I suppose we’ll see mate. I’d be happy with Nunes as first choice RB, cover if injured could come from Khusanov, Stones or Lewis.We do the squads need a young long term option at right back.

Of course, if we sell Lewis or Stones, a new young RB would be needed.

I don’t think we have back ups we have two players in each position it provides competition which improves the team overall.
For example Ait Nouri was supposed to be first choice left back but Nico has taken it from him via how good he’s been.
If Livramento came in and was out performing Nunes he’d be first choice. Nunes would then have to up his game again to take his spot back.
We already know Stones won't be here, and I wouldn't be surprised if Lewis leaves as well.I suppose we’ll see mate. I’d be happy with Nunes as first choice RB, cover if injured could come from Khusanov, Stones or Lewis.

“If”, mate.We already know Stones won't be here, and I wouldn't be surprised if Lewis leaves as well.
Mate.“If”, mate.
You said if 1 of them leave, I gave you the 1 and said maybe 2.
We are in need of a RB in the summer.

Lewis seems a good lad and a talented player.
He clearly has learned a lot playing with our players for a long time and under Pep.
Have to think his next step is more games.
Sell would be my preferred option and maximise what we get, no worries on buy back, sell on etc.

Seriously who is better than Nunes in this league?
Even in Europe I can only think of Hakimi but for what he’d cost we’d be better off signing a midfielder.
TAA can’t defend, Livramento always injured, who else is there?
Nunes is quality.

It was in response to have Nunes and Stones/ Lewis or Khus to cover.
I think we want someone who plays RB and would come with the aim to be first choice.
I like Nunes, think he has done very well.
But he is not the 2nd best RB in the world.
I hope whoever we get is better then Nunes and improves the team
Like? Nunes has been top in most statistics this season when compared against other right backs in the country.

I reckon he’s up there. More than decent amount of assists too. I’d genuinely be interested to know who else is better at the moment.
Reece James is good but he’s injured even more than Stones.
