We need a right back way more than we need a left back.
If he's available for that, Ten Hag will know. And if he knows and doesn't go for it, that's good enough for me.From the admittedly little I've seen, I like him. I in particular like his offensive stats. But, if Tagliafico is available from Ajax for 4m euros (as reported), doesn't that represent quite significant value for money?
Yeah, pretty much. Wouldn't surprise me to see links soon though (and the rumoured price go up quite a bit..).If he's available for that, Ten Hag will know. And if he knows and doesn't go for it, that's good enough for me.

Why? Just curious as this lad looks very good going forward with excellent delivery, where as Malacia seems more like AWB in that his best attributes are defensive but on the ball he's not that good.A bit more keen on Malacia but wouldn't be against this.
I'd wait for others to corroborate the news, mate.Reliable source?

At even 5x that amount it's a bargain if he starts, and it's still a bargain if he's better than Telles.From the admittedly little I've seen, I like him. I in particular like his offensive stats.

Plettenberg's reliable, but keep in mind that he's just reporting the early stages here. This doesn't necessarily mean that we'll push for his signature. Expect this to be similar to both the Timber and Vitinha situations.Reliable source?
We need significantly better than Telles. And we need significantly less injury prone than Shaw. I think he ticks both those boxes. Missed something like 13 matches with injury in the last 4 seasons. Noted for his stamina. Not a wing back who can't defend nor a crock. And almost free.At even 5x that amount it's a bargain if he starts, and it's still a bargain if he's better than Telles.
Bundesliga fans on Reddit reckon this would be a huge risk.
I love the cafRaum looks really solid don't see why we shouldn't go for it.
He is 24, seldom injured, has room to improve. I like him for some reason think he could make the step up. That neck tattoo is whack.I love the caf
It’s a forum where people have different opinions…I love the caf
Good at corner kicks, if nothing else! Sign him up!He is 24, seldom injured, has room to improve. I like him for some reason think he could make the step up. That neck tattoo is whack.
Exactly and staggering this club can't see it, probably because Erik thinks he can turn Dalot into Alexander-ArnoldWe need a right back way more than we need a left back.
Think the same was said about Telles and his "top class" set piece delivery/crosses.Good at corner kicks, if nothing else! Sign him up!
To be fair to Telles, he's better than Shaw at corners!Think the same was said about Telles and his "top class" set piece delivery/crosses.
So was Kleberson (not for Germany though)... jokes aside, I think he'd be an assetHe's a starter for Germany's national team, and some of you are still here questioning him.
His only real competition is Gosens (who was mostly injured this season), otherwise guys like Kehrer or Klostermann were tested as left full back.He's a starter for Germany's national team, and some of you are still here questioning him.
In fairness all of the full backs are shite and need to be replaced.We need a right back way more than we need a left back.
Leaks from when Ten Hag joined said he was happy with Dalot, not a peep about Shaw though.We need a right back way more than we need a left back.
I wouldn't really worry about him getting space (it's his name, after all), particularly with the left wing options we have. A lot of the time Sancho or (back when he had some form) Rashford attract so much attention that the overlap is just completely free. It's a crime that our options at left back haven't made more of those opportunities.His only real competition is Gosens (who was mostly injured this season), otherwise guys like Kehrer or Klostermann were tested as left full back.
If you don't know Raum, I'd compare him to Robertson or Gosens.
Very attacking minded, great crosses, good runs, good speed, good mentality.
However, he's best when he has lots of space. Against opponents that defend deep you won't see Raum dribbling past his opponent. His passing in tight spaces is also nothing special.
In defense he's okay or good, nothing more, nothing less.
After Borna Sosa this is now the 2nd rumor about a left FB that is known for his great crosses. Makes it a bit more believable if you ask me.
Models his game on him apparentlyReminds me a bit of Robertson in style.
I agree, but honestly I don't think there are any viable RB options good enough around, at least not at a decent price point. The only one who would have fit perfectly signed for Bayern Munich.We need a right back way more than we need a left back.
Makes a lot of sense then, would be good to have some more aggression in our defence.Models his game on him apparently

If ETH thinks there’s a very good LB available that suits his play then I have no concerns with it whatsoever. Not sure why others are moaning just because we also have below average RBsSurprised at how many people I've seen over various threads questioning the need for a left back. Shaw is unreliable (fitness or otherwise) and Telles is the worst fullback at the club.
Right Back still needs addressing, but in my opinion the options there are more workable than at left back. Not to mention we have a promising RB returning from loan.
Yeh exactly. Bit weird. Suppose Shaw seems to still split opinion, so those that think he's still got it in him to be a top level LB would probably find it odd. I'd sooner see him sold though personally.If ETH thinks there’s a very good LB available that suits his play then I have no concerns with it whatsoever.
