Cuadrado is not a right back. Hes only there because hes the only player that offers any form of width down that side. Defensively he is as naiive as the others
I agree mostly, but overall Cuads has been wonderful. Forget the defense man, we need to fix the midfield.

Get Ansaldi too so we can have quality fullbacks for once.
No joke but id rather have Ansaldi than most of our full backs

Once paratici has cleared out the deadwood that marotta had burdened us with then yes

We have 3 guys who can play RB. It shouldn't be a huge priority considering the players are serviceable. We played like crap yesterday despite having top notch offensive talent on the field. CR7, HIguain, Dybala, Costa...We had an attacking RB too in Cuadrado. But we still couldn't hold possession. That is a midfield problem. We need at least 1, if not two additions to the midfield. Matuidi doesn't cut it. Ramsey is an utter disappointment (always injured, seems to have the Khedira no legs syndrome), Bentancur is inexperienced.
It's as if we've forgotten how we sheltered our registas in the past.
There was a point when we used Pirlo where he was protected by Vidal at CAM, Marchisio at CM, and Pogba at CM lol.
If not, he had 3 CBs behind him, and Vidal/Marchisio.
Pjanic has Matuidi, Bentancur, 2 CBs and Dybala.
We've got to give Pjanic more talent to work with. That needs to be done ASAP. Pay the cash to get Pogba.

We just raised hundreds of millions for growth - use the cash to rebuild the midfield.

I agree. I think we need one top midfielder to start and have 3 of the 5 play. The rest can go.(Pjanic,Rabiot,Bentancur,TOP CM, Ramsey)Keep Matuidi for tactical purposes or bring in Peredes for Can.

Let's see... We had 3 natural wingers available yesterday, 4 if you include CR, yet we "on’t have the personnel to play with wingers".
Bernardeschi has become too fat and slow to play as winger.
Cuadrado is moved to RB out of necessity since we sold Cancelo.
Costa is always injured

What wingers do we have? Tell me, how are we going to play 433?
