Mendy and Bertrand alternating on the left and Walker and Dinho on the right.
Not bad!
Apparently Pep want another RB after Walker.

£20m?
If Txiki got both him and Walker for £60m I think he will have done well.
Add in Mendy for £40m and I think that isn't too bad for 3 good fullbacks. Expensive but not too bad considering the current market.
Yeah it would be good business as we are desperate for top class fullbacks mate? It's our most important area now as it seems ederson is all done as well

Did it for £8m for Delph, didn't work out but cheap deals are possible.An England international for 20m? To City? Lol.

I think that was only because he had a release clause.

£60m for two England international is decent from my point of view. £20m for Bertrand and £40m for Walker.
Then hopefully we can get Mendy for around £35m.
If we can get Silva for 43m from Monaco, we can get Mendy for a good fee less I reckon.
Walker, Mendy, Bertrand and Fernandinho as fullback options.

Hardly think he's a huge upgrade on Clichy to be honest.
I've not really fully understood the logic behind our transfer dealings for a while now so this is par for course.
Think Pep is putting far too much trust in English players. Not that I think Bertrand is terrible, but we're never competing at the top table in Europe if Bertrand and Walker are our full backs. Especially not with the style of football we hope to play. I'd argue neither are suitable although I imagine someone will helpfully point out that Pep knows more about football than me and anyone else on here. So I'll start a really slow happy clap.

If you cut both his legs off he's an up grade on that liability.

Sane, Jesus and Bernardo are brilliant and very young players but you don't understand the transfer logic behind these recent deals. I'll have to stop looking at Bluemoon...it's doing my head in.Hardly think he's a huge upgrade on Clichy to be honest.

I rate him, he is solid and a definite improvement over clichy and kolarov.

No I thoroughly understand those as players.Sane, Jesus and Bernardo are brilliant and very young players but you don't understand the transfer logic behind these recent deals. I'll have to stop looking at Bluemoon...it's doing my head in.
But I didn't understand signing Jesus and Sane whilst ignoring ridiculously obvious areas such as the full back positions. In Isolation both are great. I'd feel exactly the same about Bernardo this summer if we signed him but then ignored the goalkeeping position or the full back positions.
And in general I didn't understand Navas, Delph, Bony, Javi Garcia, Fernando, Mangala or Otamendi. I also didn't understand Bravo as a signing when we didn't bring in the required technically sound defensive players to operate alongside the type of footballing goalkeeper Bravo is.

A solid Premier League player, but it's also not a huge surprise that he's got to the age of 27 without a top club coming in for him.

And how many of those are 20-20 hindsight? I don't remember anyone criticizing Navas, Mangala or Otamendi before their trades (most were gleeful we had beaten out the scum on Otamendi). And Fernando, Garcia and Delph cost a total of 36m combined, so were never luxury buys,

Whilst I agree, there won't be many better back up left backs in the division than him if we got him.
Mendy will still be our first choice I reckon.

As opposed to Virgil Van Dijk, who will be 26 in a month?A solid Premier League player, but it's also not a huge surprise that he's got to the age of 27 without a top club coming in for him.

I'll be so disappointed if we will not sign Mendy as well. Bertrand is good back up but not a starter

Van Dijk has been in the league for 2 seasons. Before that, he played in Scotland and the Netherlands, so it's a lot more understandable that he could go under the radar. Bertrand has been playing in English football for his entire career, including 8 years failing to break into the Chelsea team. And Bertrand will be 28 by the start of next season too. Like I said, decent Premier League player, but if he was going to become world class, he would have done it by now.As opposed to Virgil Van Dijk, who will be 26 in a month?
