It wasn’t £18m though,. It was £8 or £9m.Unless he displaces Mykolenko, there is no way we're paying £18 million for a back up at the end of the season.

Playing on the left of a back 3 is not the same as playing CB in a back 4 though Goat is it. Plus having a natural left footer there gives us more balance, frees up the likes of Tarks to take a more central role where he would be more effective, and allows us to play a more attacking option like Vinagre in the LWB role. Plus we know that Myko is pretty solid defensively . Well worth a try in my opinion.Why would we do this tho mate.
Hes not good enough defensively to justify him playing as a CB and as a CB, he would be mainly tasked with staying back, thus nullifying his attacking talent?
Im not saying hes bad as a defender, but it doesnt make sense to me.
I get people want them both to play, but tactically I see no benefit.
I thought his defending was very ropey when he first came. But with hindsight I put that down to him being rusty following the winter break in Ukraine settling into the pace of the game here, and him being unfamiliar with the wingback role. His defending improved immensely by the end of the season, but I still don't think he's a natural wing back. Yes he seems to have a decent left peg but he isn't comfortable marauding down the left wing which is what that role demands in that system.The fact we haven’t done it yet, either after subs in a game last year or during pre season, suggests it’s not something they’re overly keen on.
I would be quite annoyed if we tried to shoehorn a left back we paid £15m for in at centre half to be honest - just sell him and buy a centre half if you don’t fancy him in the position he was bought for.
Personally I don’t seem to see it the same way as some other people. I thought some of his defending was a bit ropey but he had a good left foot on him.
Well that is unlikely to happen. I agree.£18m is the reported optional fee to sign Vinagre permanently.
He can play anywhere in midfield ....Unless he displaces Mykolenko, there is no way we're paying £18 million for a back up at the end of the season.

Nooo. Thought Niels would stayThey want 2 left backs at the club and Nkounkou will probably be leaving
