Was on Vinai's payroll; misses 4th place trophy 🏆
Someone we'll sign and send on loan he not prepared for even being bsbkup here he too young
20 million for a project rb when we have a rb on loan a year older better than him. It’s this type of signings that we waste money on and then say we don’t have money to competeSomeone we'll sign and send on loan he not prepared for even being bsbkup here he too young

You mean Saliba?So was Saka
Not sure if serious.
This is a worthwhile investment then, allows us to focus on an out an out CB to replace Holding.
Only issue is the 17m is a one off payment. Could be problematic in the short term, if we are looking at a few players in.
Why would we need to if Fresneda comes in? This would make White or Tomiyasu back up CB no?
I’d rather Fresneda to Simakan. Maybe convert Tomiyasu to CB, a little less chance of getting injured there!I imagine that's the plan, or it's a case of signing a good young potential player where we lack depth.
Ideally that Simakan can come in and be rcb/rb.

The boy is backup for a team that been relegated. He is not gonna come here as solid option next season. It’s a signing for the futureWhy would we need to if Fresneda comes in? This would make White or Tomiyasu back up CB no?
Think we need to replace Holding with a proper CB profile, before turning to White and Tomiyasu.
Also, I see White and Tomiyasu as RB and LB options respectively.
Zinchenko/Tomiyasu----Gabriel/Kiwior-----Saliba/CB------White/BNC/Fresneda
Underselling him a bit, he started 18 games in la liga. I get what you are saying though, Cancelo would be the ideal choice as he can play both RB and LB equally well.The boy is backup for a team that been relegated.

Yeah we have enough cbs. We need an actual lb if Tierney leaves. Not rbs who can do a job thereWhite is a CB who is doing a good job at Right back.
Tomiyasu, after all the uproar, it seems Kaveh might have been right, he’s not quite either a RB or CB. He has the build and defensive awareness to play CB imo.
I wouldn’t want to use him as a LB, I know he done a job on Salah, but that was literally a man marking job, we won’t get many games where that will be required. Zinchenko will pick up injuries, if Tierney goes, we need to bring another in.

If you think of it like that in terms of us playing with 3 CBS, we have Gabriel, Saliba, White, Kiwior, Tomiyasu. The only naturally attacking full back is Zinchenko.Remember, our players play different roles in the same team. White plays CB in addition to RB and can move into midfield as well, like how Stones does for City. Same with Tomiyasu, he moves from left back to center back to right back. Gabriel the same.
Its different abilities available in our backline, to allow us to keep our defensive shape in tact with players moving about, and disrupt marking and pressing plans of the opposition.
