Is he a left back or guaranteed 20 goals a season striker?
20 goal a season left back.

His stats and highlight reel are impressive and you'd expect Barcelona to be anxious to keep him.
However, they have been strongly linked with Eric Garcia and Hector Bellerin in the CB/RB positions that Mingueza has filled, so there could be another 'Tariq Lamptey'-type situation for the Albion to exploit.
He would be a good option if the club were intent on cashing in on Ben White.

At best his 2 year contract extension will be held enforced and there will be a largish fee - which probably rules us out

An upgrade on BDB? Or an option if we're going to lose one of our centre backs in the summer?

With Webster out injured and Lamptey/March out too, it turns out that we're actually much closer to being "short" in that department than perhaps anyone expected. A lot of our issues have stemmed from having to play all of our remaining defenders in semi-matched positions since the injuries took place.
Would a Barcelona player that's capable of playing across the back 4 be an upgrade on BDB? Likely, yes. To use a watch analogy, would you not take a free rolex just because you already have 4 Swatches and a Casio?

If (huge if) this is true ....
Where does this leave the small army of CB's we currently have on loan. Clarke, Ostigard, Van Hecke, Roberts. I suppose still on loan is the answer.
We can't just collect players forever, we'd have to be letting some of these go

Of those four, Clarke and Ostigard ought to be looking at being part of our first team squad (25) for next season; if they don't make it then, I suspect we ought to sell them. The other two need to go out on loan, ideally at a higher level than currently.
In terms of CB, I think we'll sell White in the summer. That leaves in order of priority: 1= Dunk & Webster, 3 Veltman, and then I'd see Burn, Clarke and Ostigard vying it out for the next 3 slots. You might say that 6 CBs is too many but at least two (Veltman and Burn) can play in other defensive positions and, if we're going to largely use a back 3, you need 6 or at a push 5.
