Being reported that we are looking at Porto’s left-back Zaidu Sanusi, 25, as a replacement for Marc Cucurella.

Already plays in stripes so that won’t come as a shock to him.

What happens if he gets a red light?

Do we have to switch him off and on again or refer to the manual?

Looking at his show reel which I know can be very misleading he looks Good defensively especially in the air but not the best passing or getting forward

These aren't the players you're looking for.

There were whispers we were looking at this guy this time last year, before we opted to sign Cucurella.

Obviously I hope we won't need him, but if we do, he's a decent player with Champions league experience.

I'll look forward to watching this unfold in the press, but ideally we can iron out any issues and get him onboard. He looks sharp.

Replacement or cover? I thought we needed two players for every position on the field?

If we do get a bid in from City for Cucurella we’d want to be in the best bargaining position possible and having a replacement lined up already would assist.
Looks rapid and can defend. Not so good going forwards perhaps as Sergio Gomez who we’ve also been linked with.

Or that Destiny guy from Verona who scored 5 goals in Serie-A last season. He looked the business.

This fella does not seem a patch on Cucu.

Pretty sure the one thing we shouldn't do is guage every other possible LCB, LB, LWB, LW on Cucu's first season.


That kind of talent doesn't come round every other transfer window.

We shouldn't let Cucu go for less than £50m and Haaland in return!

He is to a certain extent. He is a left wing back, not a dedicated LB.

I guess that depends on whether March is seen as one of those two players. He did a good job stepping in for Cucurella when the latter moved to LCB for the last 5 or 6 matches. Unless Cucurella is seen as the "in the two" for the LCB position, in which case... No idea

We also had Anders Dreyer, who was certainly an upgrade on Richie Towell.
