Junior Firpo Jose Gaya Alex Grimaldo dont even get me started on Firpo, grrrrrr he was my number one LB want last year there are 3 other really good Spanish LB's too Alfonso Pedraza of Villarreal (replaced Firpo at Betis via a loan) and one I rate even higher potentially Aarón Martín of Mainz finally Sergio Reguilón, who is on loan at Sevilla, from Real Madrid watch Adrià Pedrosa at Epsnayol as well and finally (and potentially the best of all these) Juan Miranda, 19yo, tall (1.85) pacy LB at Barca Alabama 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chelsea have a transfer ban in January and City also have issues at left back. I am not convinced OneMoSalah 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomo 21,751 Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 Really hope not. We need a new LB but I would rather wait till we get a bonafide top class one if there's none available next summer. Chilwell falls into the same "good but flawed" category our current two LBs do, would be a waste of resources. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chilwell falls into the same "good but flawed" category our current two LBs do, would be a waste of resources. I think hes about as good anybody who is realistically attainable. There arent many top class LBs around unfortunately that we could get and at his age, with his current level, the games hes got in the PL and the fact he is probably going to England's first choice LB for the foreseeable future he would be a worth while investment. Jose Gaya is another guy I like, have done for a few seasons, lots of La Liga and CL/European experience. Talk of us monitoring him as well. Chilwell would cost a lot yes so maybe looking at another alternative at a similar level wouldnt the worst idea but I have no doubts a LB will be a target as I cant see Alonso or Emerson both remaining, especially of Frank reinstates Emerson when hes fully fit as first choice. Alonso was also heavily linked with Atletico before after Sarri made Emerson first choice back end of the season and I think we knocked back a bid in the summer too. Sarri also really wants Emerson at Juve so rumours of us looking for a LB are definitely along the right lines. Vesper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OhForAGreavsie 6,073 Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 If City do want him after all he'll almost certainly choose them over us. If that's how it turns out then I say we stay out of the race and try to take Angelino from them on the cheap instead. Vesper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walker being a spud played a role, I am sure, and yes, he would have been an upgrade over Azpi (mainly on offence and mainly the last 2 plus seasons, which is when I first started to see Azpi decline, starting that last Conte season) but cannot be arsed over him that much at all fuck Stones and Danilo, nothing special there, and if Pep cannot elevate Stones play (I do not think Stones is a WC CB at all atm, plus is so injury prone) who can? the one player they got (besides obviously de Bruyne) that broke my heart was Bernardo, and you can add in Laporte too (his value is being shown now, as they are fucked at the back without him) I would take a healthy Laporte over Skriniar and Romagoli, in fact if we are talking picking any CB's in the world, for just this one year and next (so 2 seasons and done), the only two I would take over a healthy Laporte would be van Dijk and Koulibaly (it is simple with them in terms of the 2 years, as next season is both their last under 30 years old, they are almost the exact same age, KK is 18 days older), with José Giménez rounding out my top 4 in the world atm I desperately, after Mbappe, wanted Bernardo the most off that 2016-17 Monaco superteam, but nope, we went for Donkeybaka (full disclosure, I was thrilled when we bought him, he was my biggest mistake ever probably in terms of scouting talent) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
