Right Back at ya!

[dee]

Shamelessly stole the title from the amazing @King Binny !

A thread to capture our thinking on who we will get to cover Right Back in the Summer (or not!)

 

[Fabio]

Givairo Read is the guy I reckon

 

[Markeh]

can any of these young cb’s we’re signing do a job there? or is that a stupid question with arne in charge?

 

[Hansern]

Bradley targeting a return this summer. Will be interesting to see what we do. Move Frimpong to RW maybe.

I’d sign Doue from Strasbourg.

I thought the rumour was a 2027 return likely?

 

[Squiggles]

I think we'll likely target someone more experienced but a player to keep an eye on is Read at Feyenoord, especially if Slot sticks around.

I haven't seen him a great deal but only 19 and he's been getting linked to the big clubs, Bayern Munich said to be the latest sniffing around.

Slot handed him his debut and he's only got better.

Given we're probably gonna go big on another CB and winger, we'll need to find a younger Munoz, someone who might not be well known but can be picked up for a modest fee and provide even half the impact as a Robbo.

I've seen rumours of Zelik and Mingueza on frees so that maybe the profile we're heading towards.

 

[Hyena]

Rumours are that Mingueza has an agreement with Juventus in place.

He is versatile, experienced, on a lpw salary, and most importantly would be available on a free. He has the word market opportunity stamped on his forehead.

Read is probably the first choice but it depends who we are up against. I don't think we will be blowing big money to fend off City or Bayern.

He's made the mistake of saying he's a fan so Edwards probably expects him to come for free

Alex Jimenez at Bournemouth? He's on loan from Milan with an obligation to buy. Started 16 matches for them, average Whoscored rating 6.63. Listed strengths dribbling, interceptions, tackling, defensive contribution; not great in the air. Spanish U21 international. Has sometimes been deployed further forward.

Haven't watched much Bournemouth and can't recall how he got on against us (although Whoscored gave him his highest rating of the year, a 7.95). The Hughes connection, obviously, plus Bournemouth looking to pull another Hujisen and quickly flip a talent for profit.

Munoz is the best RB in the Prem. He's 30 this year. Why do we need to sign a younger player in the hope that they can fill that position for 10 years? Bradley and Frimpong are 23 and 26 this year and neither can stay fit for 5 mins. Get Munoz on a 2 yr deal. he's mustard. Always available, fuckin rock hard, fast, safe. What's not to love?
