Explain to me in a sentence like I’m 6 where we’re up to with this one and if it’s likely to happen

Last news about this fella was about 2 weeks ago saying he wasn't interested in coming, but since then a supposed ITK made some cryptic comments suggesting there'd be news about Lucumi yesterday, which never came to pass. Anything else is just pure speculation from our fans.

Apologies if that was too complicated like, I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt and assuming you're a very gifted 6 year old.

I'll explain it like a five year old.

Yesterday, Sunderland wanted to buy a football man. He doesn't like football in Sunderland. He likes pizza. People in Sunderland want to give him lots of pizza, but now he says he wants spaghetti. People in Sunderland will give him all the pizza, spaghetti and gelato he wants. But now he changed his mind and doesn't want to eat anything. But the people in Sunderland still have lots of pizza and spaghetti, and they want him to eat it even though it's cold and a bit mouldy now.

Anyone else read that as Samuel L Jackson in Pulp Fiction ?

Already done. They've got the LCB from West Brom, haven't they?

Still not officially confirmed. It must be very close as the West Brom player arrived in Bologna yesterday late on. Medical today and announced tonight or tomorrow you’d imagine.

Whether that means Lucumi comes to us is another matter !

I reckon a lot of the apprehension is due to the fact that many hark back to the days when they played and rarely was anyone 2 footed or even barely adequate when the ball was on the ‘wrong’ foot.
Modern players may have a preferred foot but I think you’ll find they are more than adequate on what we would class as their weaker side.
Besides at CB especially it’s about marking, tackling, intercepting, simple passes, yes the odd hoik upfield, but rarely ( if ever ) do they need ‘ messiesque ‘ close control with that wrong foot.
Too many making mountains out of molehills on this issue

Exactly, I think we want to have the option of a long left footed launch out to the winger, but overall they will mostly just be doing 10 yard triangle passes into Xhaka to lay into the full back. Like you say, the main job is concentration, positioning, marking up etc.

Yep, him starting games is a non starter for me, but a handy player to bring on near the end of games

LCBs
Omar, Alese, Hyelde, also Reinildo is comfortable there as we have Masuaka & Cirkin as LB options

RCBs
Ballard O'9
Seelt will be away as he needs to play

I think we need another 1, a right footer who can also play RB as I don't think Huggins, as back up to Hume, is up to the physicality of the PL

Not if he, like others are in the physios room.
