No just a left back.

Walker/Danilo good for another season, I can see the latter making the spot his unless Walker can find some form again.

I think we should drop Danilo so yes we need a new right and left back in my opinion, preferably 1st choice ones with mendy and walker as backup

Have we not got any kids coming through? When was the last time a decent fullback came through the ranks?

We fucked up letting Angelino move on last summer, we'd nothing to lose by keeping him here to play understudy to Mendy for a year.

It's a worry mate, it's a worry.

Would you have Kelvin Etuhu on the wing and maybe Ade Mike up front? :D

You don't agree it would be sensible to retain an attacking full back to back up our other one?

Relying on makeshift options to cover him was silly imo considering we have to change our whole shape to accommodate them.

Risk free, he didn't work out we move him on this summer, if he did work out then we wouldn't now be in a position where we've to go back into the market.

Peps teams have always had Fullbacks that folks questioned the ability of. I will give one example Danny Alves, Listen to pundits for a decade,,,, OH he can't defend, I bet if he would fill a large house with the shit he has won and sure as shit Barca and Messi is not the same without him.

FB role at City Must be an Athlete - to make the pitch big, he must be able to run up and down plus come inside to make a 3 at the back must never stop for 95 mins. Plus must support the MF, You can leave the worry about defending to me and my coaching staff. We will design a system that suits the team OK. Now get some rest you are gonna need it as when we finish with you will finished.

Apparently not. Having given the ball away once too many! But he must have been thought to be a better bet - which should tell us something about Angelino. Mind you we did have him sold but he refused to go!
