What's the deal with this thread?
Haven't we already signed a left back??
The deal is if we are linked with a player from a credible source, we can have a discussion. Granted Mirror isn't exactly the pinnacle of reliable news, but it's an established newspaper so the rumors should be considered.
The LB we signed isn't guaranteed to be a regular first choice, I'd say we still need a quality LB. Personally I'd target a defensive midfielder and a quality CB as priority above LB as Milner can still do a job, but if we have the funds, why not strengthen? It's is one of our weak positions.
As for the player, looks good on youtube clips (they all do) but he's also a regular first teamer, young and highly rated in France. Looking at how much City are paying, this one feels like a good deal. My only concern would be his tackling. He looks speedy and can cross, but could be another Moreno, which would be a disappointment.
