Leighton Baines would be a good free. Lose one of our current LB’s.

Agreed if he is available, good professional he seems?

Good player but too slow for Pellegrini's attacking football in my opinion. It is the weakness in Zaba's game, and to some extent Cresswell as well. If we get a LB i expect them to be younger and able to get up and down the flank.

Too old and too slow. There's a reason he's only played 90 minutes 3 times in the league this season.

He’s never been blessed with pace, but is Free shortly and would be a step up on Cresswell and Masuaku. He’d be a similar signing to Zara-get 18 months out of him.

You're correct he never had pace, now he has even less. You're advocating us signing a player who's been on the decline for a couple of seasons now in order to help with our FB problems? We tried that before with Patrice Evra and we all remember how that worked out.

Even Zabs has shown himself to be getting leggy recently although I'd never fault his application. Picking up ageing players just because they were good once is a bad habit we need to get out of.

I can think of better options for the £70k a week Baines would want - Alberto Moreno for instance, £40k a week and 8 years younger.

Which will also close the door on Johnson’.
