We need a top class left back, not a striker.
As injured as they are, they are still around, but on the left we have a player that is not a left back and a fella who is not a footballer.
And every team in Europe knows that.
Except us.

Much as I agree we need a better left back than Bendy, the fact remains he is staying on the payroll and there is the opportunity to make Ake first choice when Dias & Laporte are both fit. We know Pep does not start a back 3 if he can help it. Cancelo & Zinchenko are back ups too, so I think until we lose Mendy we won't be signing another left back. Even with Zinch staying though we still have another slot provided Carson isn't in the CL squad - I would prefer a midfielder - eg Aouar even though Doyle & Palmer are looking promising - but another striker may be the way to go this window.

I don't want another experiment there, mate.
I remember Laporte being there and how that ended up for us. I want Ake to play what he knows, not something else.

It seems the left back it's an experiment for three years now: Delph, Zinch, last year Cancedo.

PePs biggest downfall is when he tries to be clever and invent a new position for a player who does not play well there , thus making that player look a cunt.
We slagged the likes of Zinchenko for playing badly in that position that's Baldies fault for putting them there - deep down they must resent him for putting them in a position to be slagged off , mud sticks.

I don't know how fuckign difficult it is to buy a decent fucking left back ffs!

The last time Laporte played left back for us we beat Liverpool.

Need a forward?

Could do far worse than get the lad Calvert-Lewin from Everton. Shoots with either foot, heads the ball well, can lead the line and can play out wide. Very mobile and is quick as well. Would cost a pretty penny but any decent forward comes with a premium, especially a young English one.

I’d take him in a flash

Similar to Ings last season - every new season throws up a randomer that does well. Bony was once that guy mate.

After spunking 400 million on defenders the City hierarchy should get someone else to buy from now on - I certainly wouldn’t allow PeP to do it .

Maybe. But he is young, whereas Bony and Ings had already had a few seasons. Absolutely no certainty Calvert-Lewin will be a consistent forward, but he has the attributes that make a decent forward and he can be coached to play the way a manager sees fit to get the best out of him

That said, Everton after their takeover are no longer short of a few quid so like Kane, the selling club hold all the aces and it would take a silly bid to secure his signature
