With the news lustig is now out for a few weeks a RB must be brought in before the window shuts.

Never good to see one of our lads injured. but could be a small blessing to take him out of the firing line for a while.

How many do we need?

Currently we have Gamboa and Ralston who play there. Ajar and Boyata could fill in there too if desperate.

You could have 10 RBs but all I am asking for is 1 good one.
Gamboa is not the answer.
Ralston is a good prospect and lustig has played well all season.
So in my opinion we need someone in.

Definitely no need for a RB at this moment. More important areas need addressed right now. We have at least 3 players that can play there.

We can’t just buy a new player when someone is out injured for 2 weeks. The squad is bloated enough.

I would be more worried about who would fill in if KT got injured.

The point is we havnt got a gd rb. i would be looking for a new one even lustig was fit.
So the cover is put our worst ch in boyata there or our (At present) best ch half in ajer there. now that's gd going into Europe.
I don't think we can afford as a serious club to get spanked in the champions league and the Europa league.
I do agree about kt. My other posts also say me need cover for him bit that may come in the form of another ch commper.

I wouldn’t say we don’t have a good right back but now understand your point.

Lustig has served us well and has come a long way from the player who shared the RB slot with Adam Matthews because NEITHER could keep fit.

I would expect to see Ralston become our regular right back next season with Lustig kept in an Izzy role to help him. If he doesn’t fancy that then he could be moved on.

I also would have expected Gamboa to move on in this window but that hasn’t happened so struggle to justify bringing in a fourth right back now.

We could all play left back but the point is we need a class one of we are to be competitive in Europe. Lustig has list at least a yard and needs a rest. We don't have anyone who is good enough for what is required.

Why tinker with fixing some bits?

Get the players in. It's a false economy not to. Why risk a potential £35m in CL money and having a rubbish at Zenit for £2-3m on a good RB?

If we get in these players and beat Zenit the extra money we will earn pays for him.

Hopefully Rogers realises we don't have anyone of the class inhouse and make do and mend has fecked us up so many times in the past it's time to bite the bullet and sort it now.

Lustig has had a few bad games and to be honest he is probably his own worst enemy by not holding his hand up earlier and admitting he is stuggling.

He still has enough about him when fit to be a good option for us.

Too many people too quick to put a bolt gun to a players head after a few poor games.
