Because its entirely dependent on them in terms of chance creation. I'd rather focus on bringing in more attacking impetus so we can actually get more goals. 

 
I know I'm banging on about it but an offer for Pavard has been made by Inter for €25m. €25m, plug in and play. About as much as we paid for Ugo, who we'll be loaning out. If we do nothing then fair enough, but if we do decide to restock please let's not spend 30m for an untried inexperienced kid when a solid experienced pro is available. 

 
Ridiculous. He only had surgery at the end of last season. Doesn’t surprise me he’s picked up injury with the amount of running that Poch is making them do. 
 

So disappointing. 

 
Grass is green 

water is wet 

Reece James is injured 

I fear it may be time to cash in 

 
Got trust Gusto or whoever we have in reserves to cover James. It's an unfortunate part of his career, everytime he went down our results went with it. I don't think there's 100M 21 year old RB out there even if we want to burn cash.

Chances you buy a RB? Anyone to promote from Cobham - and odds on that over spending £15-30M on a 'stop-gap RB'?  

How highly do you guys rate James? - for England/Neutral - I've always rated Walker miles ahead, then Trent, Trippier.

Enjoy watch him play, seems talented - but if he turned into your Wilshere - how long before you look to spend £100M on a right back?

James has no real weaknesses, other than his injuries. He's far ahead of Trippier, it's not even close. Alexander-Arnold is great at attacking, but James is on another level defensively. Walker is all about pace and at the same age as James, I didn't rate him that highly. Guardiola made him a better player.

He never had the surgery, and it would have been on his knee if he did have it.

 
It's interesting to point out that all three of our most promising Cobham graduates in the RB position - Tariq Lamptey, Reece James and Tino Livramento - have had ongoing knee/leg issues that threaten to derail their careers.

 
Get Well James.   We have favorable fixtures for the next  4 to 8 weeks. ( I see no issues with the current players we have covering for Captain James)

 
I am very confident, maybe without enough reason, that Gusto will do a great job defensively, but yet to show what he has in attack. In short Gusto excellent off the ball but unknown to me when he's on it.

So I could support Whitewall's suggestion of having Pavard as a backup.

Equally i think this may speed up the switch to 4 3 3 and have the midfield do more of the defensive screening.
