[MoroccanBlue 5,291]

He can play LCB too I think. 

[lucio 5,418]

Chilwell is pretty average , and was slow already before his injury.

[Marvin123 484]

LCB obviously

Cucurella is even shorter than Kounde.

I wouldn't say average... he was pretty instrumental in our CL run and played very well in the final vs City. Average players don't do what he did in that run.

Cucurella could be 4'8 so long as it keeps Sarr out of the club. 

[Pizy 18,360]

Buying Cucarella to play him as a CB is even dumber than playing Reece James at CB outside of emergency situations. It takes away their greatest assets and what makes them special which is their ability to bomb up and down the wings wreaking havoc.

Something Rudiger did on occasion at LCB

I just don’t like the idea of shoehorning a non-CB in at CB.  He’s one of the best fullbacks in the league. Why play him anywhere else? Especially if we have KK and Colwill who can play LCB.

I think he will primarily be LWB. LCB on occasion. 

It's evident Tuchel wants ball carrying outside CBs so I can see why his versatility would come in use.

Actually I feel a fullback in the CB positions in a back three offers a good balance, especially vs sides that sit deep, at times you're almost playing with 2 fullbacks on the overlap. Look at how effective Azpi was going forward in that role under Conte.

Wait.. we are going to send Colwill the other way. Nahhh not feeling that whatsoever.

Cucurella at CB. Height: 1,75 m

Vesper is gonna have a meltdown. 😂

He would make sense only if we didn't already have a 50m player at LWB. Weird, but I'm not against it... Having more quality in squad is always welcome.

Listed in PL his real height is around 1,72 m. Basically shorter than Kounde and Martinez.
