So you think we should sign Gunter? I'll have whatever drugs you're on.Many think that we need cover for the Doc and Chris Gunter has been told he can leave Reading, my guess it's down to the wage structure as he's still a very good player. Thoughts?

We're fine.
Traore against the lower sides/when we need to attack. Jonny and Vinagre LWB for the bigger teams if needed.[/QUOTE)
That's the plan
Absolutely, excited about Sanderson's potential impact this season and any thoughts of buying a RWB should be 4th in line in terms of priority behind RCB, attacking midfield and a strikerThink Sanderson will be the one to fight for that position throughout the season but with Jonny being able to switch with Vinagre coming in it leaves us ok there imo. Plus if by some miracle now Álvarez does choose us over Ajax he can fill that position too should it be needed. A RCB, number 10 and striker priority in my eyes.

I’d love us to sign Grimaldo from Benfica, he’s basically a left footed Jonny. Mind you he’s apparently wanted by some of Europe’s top clubs. We would have serious strength in depth for our wingback positions if that were to happen.If against a tough European side away on the Thursday night we can play say, Vinagre and Doherty and then on Sunday, 3 days later, at home to Man United we bring in Jonny and Dalot fresh and ready to go then that takes us from OK/fine to 'strength in depth' in a lung busting position
I read somewhere Diego Dalot can leave due to wan bissaka’s arrival
Not sure how true
Its the Current Bun saying he's available... If they were just happy to get their money back (18M) then it looks good business and would fit us perfectlyI’d be all over Dalot if he’s free. Versatile young and talented.
You've had a nightmare there! Nowhere near good enough.Many think that we need cover for the Doc and Chris Gunter has been told he can leave Reading, my guess it's down to the wage structure as he's still a very good player. Thoughts?
I have said elsewhere we desperately need another wing back. Preferably someone to directly challenge Doherty. I would argue you either bring in a first choice left footed wing back or someone to directly challenge Doherty. 3 players for those 2 positions is simply not enough, the amount of physical exertion they get through is extensive and probably the most of any position in our current shape.
Why I prefer to not swap Jonny over is that it cause an additionally change in the team, the understanding between wing back and centre half is vital, that is exactly where city picked us apart at there place last season. If you only need to make one change but have to make two owing to the squad make up it’s not ideal.
If Nuno feels Sanderson is really a direct option to challenge Doherty I trust his judgement, personally I have not seen anything of him so I can’t offer a view but we need 4 first team players for those 2 positions.
Ah well. Toilet paper of a ragIts the Current Bun saying he's available... If they were just happy to get their money back (18M) then it looks good business and would fit us perfectly
Diogo Dalot 'told he can leave Man Utd' after Wan-Bissaka transfer... but fans beg Portuguese to stay
So say we signed Gunter and Doherty got injured, what's a better wing back line up?The fact I'm welsh tipping a Welshman is irrelevant. We are a club in the europa cup and trying to break into the top 6 and people on here are saying Sanderson is cover! He plays primarily as a centreback and is miles off first team standard yet a guy who is capped 95 times isn't good enough to be a 2nd choice rightback in the squad? A reality check is needed at times on this forum..
I'm not saying Gunter is as good as Doc, what I'm saying is what have we got if Doc gets suspended or injured? And if people think Sanderson, Burr or Bennett are better options to step in then we beg to differ in a big way. Over and out
Johnny and Vinagre but we haven't seen RV in a run of games yet and how he'd do. So are you happy going into this season with 3 senior fullbacks with an extra competition? If so fair enough, if not then we need another RB as cover and Gunter would be very good in our formation.
