2024/25 Vitalii Mykolenko

[Osamabindiesel]

I’d say LB (along with RB) is absolutely a priority. He has had a poor season.

Guaranteed we buy a left back this summer.

He has been hit or miss, but we definitely need not only an upgrade in the attacking department at the fullback positions, but competition. He absolutely cannot be the only one. Ffs we have had O'Brien at FB until Tarks got hurt

 

[SuperKev91]

Desperately need two new full backs. He’s a solid defender when an attacker wants the ball to feet all the time (I bet he gives someone like N’Diaye a hard time in training) but isn’t a great defender positionally.

The less said about his ability with the ball the better. We desperately need more quality out there, and at RB.

O’Brien is the best full back at the club. Not even close.
2 new half decent full backs will go a long way to making us look like a functioning team. You’d think it’s one of the easier and cheaper positions to sort out

I just threw Chilwell in there, but the idea we can’t sign a better left back is the funny bit @Marius57

Oh, we can do better than Myko. I personally don’t think LB is a priority because I think he does a decent job. But we could obviously improve, certainly offensively.

I just think Chilwell being suggested is funny as he is worse defensively. And for the drop off defensively, I’d want someone better than chilwell going forwards as while he would be an improvement offensively, he isn’t exactly prolific.

I actually thought it was a joke because Chilwell has been injury prone for a while, cant get in the Palace team and is on massive wages.

There are always a few top young LBs around, Truffert who we were linked with in Jan for example:

This chap is wanted by Madrid apparently. United sent him off to Benfica and now hes a top player...could be bargains around.

Álvaro Carreras - Player profile 25/26

Álvaro Carreras, 22, from Spain ➤ Real Madrid, since 2025 ➤ Left-Back ➤ Market value: €35.00m ➤ * Mar 23, 2003 in Ferrol, Spain

For me I like Hato (Ajax) and Hall (Newcastle)n also think Truffert (Rennes) is a good player.

Hall isn’t going anywhere. Eddie Howe and the Newcastle fans love him.

 

[carolinablue232]

He’s not great. But we have bigger problems. Think he’ll be first choice one more year.

 

[RomanReigns]

stinks the gaff out

 

[Zatara]

Agreed sadly. But we need a clone

 

[Walken]

Pathetic that

 

[SJB]

He's magic, you know.

If our LB is expected to defend aerial balls into Jimenez, we’ve already lost.

Left backs will defend aerial balls, they are not expected to cower for free kicks.

The lad is garbage

Still think Harrison Burrows would be worth a look. If Sheff Utd promote then unlikely

You're probably being too kind if anything

Baines isn’t getting that. Digne isn’t getting that. That’s why we have centerbacks.

But go on with the gripe
