This smells like someone we'll be stuck loaning around for three years.
He's gonna be the left back version of Cedric, I think

Is he a left back that can play inverted centre back?

I have no idea if there's anything to this link, kinda doubt there is, and I am not going to pretend I know anything about Grimaldo since his Barça days, but I suppose he is ahead of Nuno for a reason, and I do know he's a player who is quality on the ball. How his defensive ability would translate to the premier I'm not sure, but then Tierney is not exactly a defensive force, nor Zinchenko, more and more the defensive qualities of a fullback are not hugely important (if they were, AMN and Wan-Bissaka would be world-class fullbacks).So he's Nuno but older?
Weird there's this anti-Spanish attitude here, when our recent record with French players includes failures like Giroud, Lacazette, Squillacci, Silvestre, Guendouzi to some extent, and in the last decade we've had just one good French player (who too had his issues), Koscielny, whereas we've had two Spanish ones (Santi and Monreal).No more Spaniards, please.
Everyone should be asking themselves, would I rather play Taveras or Xhaka at left back when Tierney is hurt or rested (as he will be a lot this season)? or player X that we've been linked to?
To my mind, almost any respectable option is better than those two as a stop gap. They were a huge weakness when played in that position, for different reasons.
I kind of miss Monreal.
His relationship with the club is broken that's why he cheap and fans want to get rid. Just like us with ÖzilWhen you have Benfica fans thanking god for these rumors, you know he is ****![]()
