I am a big fan of offensive type full back but it is all about balance now. So I am guessing this is why we are after Tagliafico?
With Pulisic, Havertz, Ziyech and Werner all starting do we really need offensive FBs?
Liverpool and City both have 5 offensively oriented players but in different systems. City 3 strikers (wingers) and two attacking midfielders. But Liverpool do not play with any attacking midfielders. Instead they use two really offensive full backs.
City won 100 points in the league with Delph as LB. Also when we play James (not good defensively) we use Azpi as LB or we go with wing backs system to protect defense.
I am hearing Tagliafico is very good defensively.
Quote I found:
Stylistically, Tagliafico is part of an increasingly rare breed of full-backs in that his primary assets lie in his defensive capabilities, a precise tackler with impressive stamina, able to traverse the touchline relentlessly for 90 minutes.
He has been likened to compatriot and Internazionale legend Javier Zanetti, owing to the pair having both started at Banfield and sharing a no-nonsense, uncompromising style blended with understated technical skill.
