Cuads/Darmain/MDS Benatia/Caldara/Barza Chiellini/Rugani AS/Spinazzola. we are more than covered. in fact, if Darmain comes, Barza is redundant as well
yes, midfield obviously has priority, but with AS decline and MDS injury record, fullback positions gonna need some strengthening as well. Howedes if he can stay healthy is good to have as 5th CB/3rd RB-LB, so i wouldnt be against keeping him for a role like that. but we are pretty much set even...
he lost so many years in Milan and now here due to injuries. a shame, could have been a top class fullback by now

you missed all the links back in 2012-2013?
we always create from the back, since Conte days. it can work if the guy isnt a liabilty with the ball, which even Barzagli who Howie should replace wasnt. hes a fine CB, but thats where he should play if he stays. dont want to play a top team and being unable to break their press, so please no...
im not, rewatch the Napoli game and tell me a non panic move from Howedes when we were pressured

he wasnt on Reals radar for nothing when he was just starting with Milan. just needs to stay healthy and regain his confidence, hes a very good player then
i know that he played fullback before, but im asking is he better as a fullback than MDS? he has limited technique, has a good cross to him tho. but hes also another "backpass brother of Asamoah". good to have as depth option, but not a must imo
it makes sense if hes cheap, so ill wait and see what we pay and what hes gonna earn
yes, i like my fullbacks playing both sides of the ball. no more "Barzaglis" please
then we willget another LB in addition to Spinazzola, but the point remains. id rather him than Barza for that role to be clear, but how much will his wages be is important, and i doubt they let him go for 4M anyway

as a fullback? dont think so
lets see, Caldara, Benatia, Chiellini, Rugani as CBs, De Sciglio, Spinazzola and probably AS as fullbacks (gonna buy another RB i guess). do we really need him? would make more sense to get someone cheaper to be a 5th CB/fullback, wage wise i mean
Hes missed only 245 out of possible 900 minutes this season in the CL, only once he played RB in those games. Rugani has just 110 minutes for comparison. Hes gonna finish the season with ~2500 minutes and close to 40 games played most likely. Yeah, you can say hed be a nice squad player wholl...
That foul he got booked for, thats the exact same foul Marcelo made on Costa ane didnt get even a warning, which prevented him from being sent off later when he finally got a yellow
