Maybe we could try a bid of 25m + Martina for either of those two mentioned, then they're also sorted for a left back for the rest of the season.

That said, if we're trying to include Martina in the team they'd probably prefer a straight cash offer of around 10m instead.

lol lol lol lol close to tears at that.

I agree he would be good, but he is their only left back, so they wouldn't sell him to us.

..I think we need athletes. I fear that players with his frame have only so long before the physicality of this league catches up. It did with Pienaar and it has with Baines. I also think it caught up with Cahill but he was ultra competitive.

Surely Luke Shaw is an option when looking for a left back.

Doesn’t Mourinho want to get shut of him ?

Has started the last 4 prem games. Unlikely to sell if Ashley Young and Darmian are your only alternatives.

I have a feeling we're not getting a left back is because we've agreed to take Tierney or sessegnon next summer

it must be.

Yeah, seriously.

Not the most gifted, but gave 100%, would be more reliable than most of what we're fielding today AND gave a damn about Everton unlike some of the gutless players out there.

Literally a perfect no.2 in my opinion. Not first choice ever, but good enough as a backup.

I liked the fella but he wasn't really any good after his injury (Debatable if he was any good before it either).

I am seeing this a lot though. Being rubbish now doesn't mean who should rue getting ridding of players who were not really good enough either in the past.

We should try and buy Tierney or Sessegnon. If we can't get them I would look at a loan from a Spanish or Italian team. They no doubt have an experienced left back who can't get a game that we could pay a loan fee for?

From the desk of Steve Walsh...

I remember hearing about us looking at Diego Rico during the summer but nothing came from it.

if only steve walsh had time to identify and scout a replacement lb

Im just wondering how the hell we went from having Baines, Oviedo, Galloway and Garbutt in the LB position, to Martina within the space of 18 months.

In Iran left footed people are the devil, that’s why mosh won’t sign one

How long has Walsh been here?

its criminal that it wasn't addressed immediately. Playing in arguably the most competitive league in the world with a RB for potentially 2 months while our "twilight" of his career LB is absurd!
