Ric Flair Posted 22 August 2020 Share Posted 22 August 2020 Tagliafico and Telles are 2 of the best left backs out there and both likely available under £30m and both aged 28 soon. If there was a left back as good as either of these in the 21-25 age bracket we could get then great but there won't be. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only one I can think of is Reguilon but from what I've heard Real Madrid want a buyback clause, which isn't ideal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole world smiles Posted 22 August 2020 Share Posted 22 August 2020 1 hour ago, Sambiasso said: Which was the last player we signed who was 'in his prime' and became a success here? Off the top of my head most prime players have struggled here. To be fair we don't go after that profile of player very often but Ulloa, Okazaki, Huth (arguably past his peak) spring to mind. Notable players in their peak who flopped is a longer list Slimani, Hernandez, iborra, Silva, musa (apparently 24 when we signed him but come on!), 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshall Cockney Fox Posted 22 August 2020 Share Posted 22 August 2020 I can't believe we'd sell Chillers without a like for like replacement completely lined up. He's our only real LB. The young lad is too raw & Fuchs legs can't handle too many games. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcfc sheff Posted 22 August 2020 Share Posted 22 August 2020 I wouldn’t be surprised if they just went with James Justin with Thomas as back up, I mean wasn’t that what Justin was bought for? Or was it cover for Ricardo? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point here is I believe that by just turning 28 is not over the hill. Speaking as a 40 something.

lcfc sheff Posted 22 August 2020 Share Posted 22 August 2020 1 hour ago, st albans fox said: And who is playing right back for the first six weeks ..... Well probably Justin and Fuchs or Thomas at left back? I’m only asking the question as it would seem (as similar with soyuncu) that we have a ready made replacement already at the club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerbyshireFox Posted 22 August 2020 Share Posted 22 August 2020 Fuchs is going to be way of starting for the first few games, he tore his groin before the Sheffield United game and was estimated to be out for twelve weeks. Thomas is a good prospect, but can’t be deemed a regular starter because of a couple of decent showings. He needs a loan for regular games, and a new contract given he’s only got a year to run. A replacement for Chilwell is as big a priority as a wide player and a centre back in my view. Tagliafico would be a good replacement for the money suggested 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
