thats not a shocker, when he is health Mendy is an absolute monster, and they will give him one more year to stay healthy
Alex Sando is on the verge of being too old, he turns 29 in the middle on next season, so not worth the £50m plus Juve will want. Why would you pay that for only one full sub 30yo season.
Only true upgrade would be Alaba, and good luck prying him away from Bayern. Alba at Barca is now 30 and will soon start to decline, probably within 2 years, 3 years max.
Alex Telles and Junior Firpo is the only other truly WC LB's who are remotely available, and I would take a healthy Mendy or them probably. Its a toss-up and a very expensive toss-up. Tey were on the verge of going for Firpo, but he has been hurt a tonne this year, so unless Real Madrid grabs him, Firpo should be there next year (and we need to grab him if Shitty/Real do not) or Chillwell. Firpo has far more upside, and is a far bigger and a far better athlete. I would also take Ferland Mendy. But, IF RM do not buy Junior, they will probably buy Ferland.
As soon as the bans are over, we HAVE to sell assclown Alonso. Wuthless as a fullback, I dont give a damn about that goal. So many jumped back on the Higs train after he scored. Look where that got them.
