Fake. Bild were just reporting English press rumours.

I can't see that at all Dazzy. If he doesn't join I don't care if you're right or not. If he does then let's hope that you are. :-)

For everyone screaming "sign him" are you also of the same sort who say "play the youth"?

We sign Rodriguez for 20m, we loaned out Baba who we spent 18m on. What happens to Aina throughout this process?

So you thing we don't need reinforcement in Fullback ?

Ivanovic can't be a first choice, so if we sign Rodriguez, we have just Aina and Ivanovic as sub for these postions. That's really the minimum.

So Aina has no problem to be included in the first squad and Conte could easily give him a chance.

He has a big potential and I wish he will be our next Ash, but we can't just send the kid as a first choice for the whole season. He needs to progress step by step.

When baba will come back next year(if we decide to keep him), Iva will probably go out.

This season will be harder than last years, and we need guaranteed.

I'm not saying anything I'm only asking the questions here. What does signing Ricardo do for Aina? Ricardo is 23, if we sign him it clearly blocks Aina's progression into the first team, no?

I think he would still be backup LB/RB.

RR starting LB

Azpi starting RB

Aina/Ivanovic backups

His progression isnt blocked, it is more difficult and breeds competition which improves quality.

Aina can play RB

Why does it block it?

LB: Rodriguez & Baba

RB: Azpi & Aina

Nothing wrong with that.

Okay so for you its "if he's good enough he will play" I'm of that same thought process.

Tbh i think not.

He'll don't have his place in strating XI in the short run, but he can easily progress like a second choice. A season means many games, so many possiblity to play, to prove in training.

And everything happens fast in football, he could benefit from an injury or a bad series from Azpi/Rodriguez (or other).

And in the long run, if he confirms his potential, no doubt he could be a master piece.
