The left back issue sums us up really in terms of transfer savvy. Not one of us could or would argue that we need to upgrade there, probably more then any other position. Hector is the best I've seen mentioned but yet there's nothing concrete. Apart from that ive seen lads mention Robbie Brady!! Fine player but hes not a left back Ireland used him there out of necessity a handful of times. And of course Ben Chilwell..
Ben Chilwell who has never played a premier league game. We sold a young left full a few weeks ago who has more premier league games then Chilwell!! Not saying selling Smith was wrong but selling him while we have nothing coming in might be a mistake. Talk of loaning another good option in Jon Flanagan out to Burnley.
So odd to me that a club would do that not having a concrete signing in place, so the next question is do we? And it just hasn't leaked yet? Unlikely I would say.
I hinted last season when we signed Milner that he could operate at left full that as laughed out of town now it appears hes our latest option.
Just cant understand how weeks ago before last season even ended we didn't have a player/players in mind for left full and then went and done whatever was needed to sign him/them. Its the one major area of concern going into the new season and its the one area were if anything we've probably weakened.
Hoping this Hector story as has some legs, legs like Peter Crouch's
