      Seems like my hate on deco is not gonna age well, with what I’ve been hearing he might be cooking, I might have to start drafting an apology.

      Not reinforcing a gaping hole in the squad will be harrowing. Hopefully our priority isn’t only in building squad depth.

      Sounds like the plan is to sell Kounde and have Balde and Grimaldo on the left and Eric and Cancelo on the right

      Perfect signing. He’s just the right profile for Flick and to also give competition to Balde and help him improve his final 3rd decision making.

      If we can sign grimaldo for 15m and make cancelos deal permanent while selling balde for 30-40M+ that would be perfect

      Grimaldo to me is the type of player that will age like fine wine. Never relied on physical attributes, just off the charts technical quality, tactical intelligence, ball-striking ability, and passing/playmaking capacity. My only gripe is that we didn’t get to enjoy the past few years of this gem wearing a Barça shirt.

      Nah no way. He’s 30 and will be losing his legs soon enough. If we indeed sell Balde it better be a smart buy to replace him. Also Ratiu should be our target for RB. Cancelo needs to go in the summer he’s far too shaky defensively

      To the people thinking we are selling Balde for him and Cancelo, remember than one is 30 years old and another is 31.

      If you think the club is that stupid to sell a 22 year old fullback over one bad season, I have no words for you lol

      As long as that man is not asked to defend, then good. He’s pretty much a Spanish version of Cancelo.

      Having two proper LB’s in Balde/Grimaldo with Torrents probably going out to loan and Gerard Martin as third option. I think itll be plenty cover and actually let Balde not be overworked like he has been which causes him to get injured often.

      Win – Win scenario.

      If it’s also true, Cancelo despite doing well so far this season, isn’t going to be recruited after his loan spell. Which kinda sucks because i like how he always presents a danger from the left flank

      I suppose the wages Cancelo gets will be similar to what Grimaldo might be offered?

      Grimaldo for 15M is a bargain. Haven’t seen him much, but saw him against Arsenal and a few seasons ago when Xabi was at Leverkusen and he was really good. Although to be fair, I would also consider Cancelo. We need a fullback that can cross the ball and both can do that. Cancelo is both footed but Grimaldo is better defensively so either one will do.

      Imagine your LB options being Cancelo and Grimaldo

      RB options Kounde and Espart/Eric/Araujo

      Full-back position covered for next season

      Price is insanely low, but he is anything but a leftback at this point. He is regularly starting as a number 10

      Im always annoyed we did not get him on a free when he left Benfica, I already knew he would have been such a good option for us.

      But I would deffo take him
