I'm an outsider, but have 'followed' you guys for years.

But from the outside; really don't think you need another st at all, giroud and Sanchez will be first team: theo, pod's, Campbell could all fit in there (definitely not sanogo).

But, to the point. Isn't LB your weakest position. NM isn't good enough and KB (who I like) seems to struggle between being a lb and lm?

Monreal isn't good enough IMO but I think most of us are in agreement that Gibbs is, competition wouldn't go amiss for the LB spot though.

Monreal is easily good enough as a back up imo. There aren't many players of his quality that would be willing to be a back up. Gibbs is great and will hopefully be our left back for many years.

LBs seem to be ridiculously expensive this window, united paid 27 mil for an 18 yo who has great potential, but we all know it might not be fulfilled and Chelsea paid 20mil for a 29yo(when the season starts) who might take time to get up to speed in the premier league, and has no resale value, not sure who got the worse deal really

Yeah, but evra for 1.2 is great value, cole for free. Hate both as players but represent decent value. Wages might be shocking, but shaw is reportedly on a fortune.

As I said I like Gibbs, but just think if you want to be more than fourth, he should be the quality young back up to a world class player.

We could've done a lot worse than taking Davies that Spurs just signed. 10 mill for a LB to compete with Gibbs would've been a bargain imo.
