Ryan Bertrand

[toffee balls]

Much rather buy Shaw but that is unrealistic and looks like Mourinho is finally playing him back to form and fitness.

I have never liked Bertrand but he is a solid defender and has a good cross so as a backup to Mendy it would not be a bad choice. Always good to have another English player under Peps coaching too.

What about Fellani for target man......

Would work well at the local shooting range

I like the look of this lad, would be funny to get fat Shaw in and turn him into a world beater.

His stat are not impressive.

Surprised that he is 28 - would have guessed at 25.

Had more loans than Barclays! Would be ok for a backup but would rather sign a centre back as I think our need in that position is greater.

Strongly disagree, LB is a must buy in january. If Delph gets injured, we only have Danilo and Walker for 4 competions (if we beat Leicester). In the summer we were ready to pay 90 million for Sanchez and Evans. 90 million should be enough to sign a CB, LB and Sanchez on a free transfer in the summer.

A CB that can act as a LB would be the best option in January. If only Kolarov was still around...

When Mendy comes back from Injury and, assuming we bring back Maffeo, we're going to be in a very tricky position in regards to overcrowding at the fullback positions if we are to sign another LB (in my opinion).

This is essentially why I think we'll sign Evans - left sided CB that can also play as a LB. Comfortable on the ball, experienced and wouldn't baulk at being a back up.

Johnny Evans as a left back in a Pep Guardiola team?
That's one thing I never ever could have imagined.
And I still can't.
