Pls pls pls pls pls - pls a decent LB backup now! We could and should improv on CB's, have a better RB backup than Eric, have a dedicated #9 backup etc. But fuck all that, we'll figure it out with what we have - but we sure as fuck need an LB backup and asap!
You really need to step off the Martin hate train. You look at these things way too one-dimensional.
Especially because your only hate against him comes from his mistake against Inter, which is ironic, because it was one of his best games and his 2 assists gave us a chance to reach the final in the first place. Not to mention that the ref and VAR didn't see the clear foul on him, when Dumfries? stepped on his foot.
His performance-cost ratio is very good, as he's a solid backup who plays nearly on minimum wage and with whom we still managed to secure the domestic treble in his first professional season, when Balde missed the entire hot phase of the season.
You think it's easy to find a pure back-up player who is definitely an upgrade, but low cost at the same time and will accept his bench role behind Balde? Transfers like Semedo and Firpo didn't help us at all in the past, just helped to put the club into the miserable financial position it is today.
And not forgetting Jofre Torrents, who convinced Flick so far and will join the pre-season tour in Asia.
Calma.
