    I also think you could be forgetting that we are up against some world-class wingers this season, Cirkin got caught out at champ level, never mind facing Salah, Mbuemo, Cherki, Foden, Amad, Palmer, Saka etc. Cirkin/Alese can't be our main left back options for me, no chance

    See I think I want a first choice LB and not left back cover, although you might have meant that.

    I really really don't like Alese as a left back

    Two options. Either we don't really know what the **** we're doing, or our ambition and capacity for improvement is WAY larger than we've previously anticipated. Obviously hoping for the latter:emoticon-0102-bigsm

    Bulka has just played every game for a Nice side finishing 4th

    and 6 out of the 8 Europa league games (they were **** in Europe but besides the point)

    full polish international 25 years old.

    this is an incredible signing. If it’s with fabrizio it’s moving along quickly, he didn’t report jobe til late.

    links with our new sporting director perhaps?

    It’s hard not to get excited by this, but going back to my last post - how much will this cost for a non-priority position?

    Maybe we really are gonna throw money at it this summer.

    See I didn’t think Patto was good enough but had accepted the fact he’d probably be number 1.

    this is better

    Not forgetting at all. Just thinking about priorities in what I assumed would be a summer where our scope is naturally limited to some extent. LB is down the list for sure. Although maybe that's not the case!

    FWIW

    I could see Patto leaving if we’re signing a number 1.

    we’ve got money to spend man don’t worry about that

    Mixed feelings. On one hand, wow, this is a huge statement of intent.

    On the other I wanted the local lad who carried us up from League One to be our number one, or at least have the chance to be.

    The bulka fee estimated just under 20 can be totally offset by selling homegrown Patterson and improves us, it's smart like you say.

    This bloke will be number 1 instantly, but you need two good keepers in the PL, competition will be crucial.

    I also think we are going to be way more ambitious than people realise

    There were times when we didn't look that solid at the back. Lots of brave blocking,last ditch touches and Pattos legs often came to our aid.We were especially vulnerable from the flanks at times,particularly our left.

    I meant cover tbh. Working from first to last, starting lb is way down the list for me in a world where we've got to maximise a tight budget. Seems things might not be so tight though!

    We 100% needed a new keeper as we need two that are good enough to start. I wasn't expecting the one to come in to be quite so good though.

    This link has just brought my expected level up a notch

    this is the level of playing we’re trying to pull away from teams? A European teams number 1?

    Sunderland surely can’t do that

    Bulka is excellent. I thought he'd be a good option for Man Utd if they get rid of Onana, especially with the Nice links they have with their owners.
