Then what's the point? We gain a bit going forwards, but lose the same defensively, net zero gain.
Once again we spend £45m and get nowhere.
That will be the umpteenth time we waste big money on wing backs and full backs rather than paying for 1 top "top top" top top player

Is there a better rwb in europe we could actually get?
 
Seems like the interest in Porro is real at least.

Do you think he would be suitable for an attacking full back role when/if Conte leaves? Or would he be a wing back specialist that would struggle in a full back role?

Really want us to get the players Conte needs, also really want us to future proof the squad.

I hope he's both if the club is really pushing for him.

Who is that top (x4) player we could pay for and get for this role?

Doherty was seen as a complete misfit for us. Couldn't defend or attack. Right system, right role, right players next to him he's actually rather good.

Part of the job for Paratici and Conte is finding those players that will fit our system well enough that they will be good enough even if they're not a top (x4) player individually. Even if they're not at that level at their current club.

Replicate the Bentancur and Kulusevski signings essentially in other positions.

We can't compete with the richest clubs by just signing the very best (most expensive) players.

He would be an awful full back
He is poor at defending as it is and would need a LOT of work on that front
He is a winger playing wing back because wingers dont exist anymore

Have you seen a lot of him? What are his problems defensively?

From what I saw against us I was rather impressed with his defending one on one against Perisic. Perisic is really good at getting enough separation from the defender to get a good cross in. Yet he struggled with that against Porro.

Is it more awareness, decision making, positioning kind of thing that makes you think he'd be an awful full back? Or is he poor one on one defensively too and just happened to look good against us?

Small
Positioning is that of a winger
Not a tackler more a blocker of runs and directional play
He is rash or dumb though which is an issue I think a lot of converted players could have
Perisic is easy to deal with movement wise as his strength is his crossing not his running. Don’t forget they were defending leads against us

Haven't seen enough of him to have an opinion on your first points.

Perisic is not easy to deal with one on one though. He's not one to just go past players with ease. But he's very good at getting enough space one on one to deliver a quality cross. Benefits him that he can go either way if the defender can get close and can cross well if the defender stands off him too.

Porro dealt with him very well one on one imo.

He did
Because Perisic was static
He had a poor game IMO and was also looking tired
Porro is a winger converted to wing back just like Perisic
That can mean they are great wing backs but never strong full backs. conte made Moses into a wing back
Porro could interchange with kulu imo
He is a very good passer from what I’ve seen

And yet unlike Spence who is a six footer we are led to believe that he is a player that Conte actually wants us to sign, interesting.

As i said that we can actually get. Say our budget is £50m.

I think there are equally good ones we could get for less money
And I think the club are thinking that
I also think the club are waiting to make a move for some reason …. Possibly because of Chelsea throwing money around
