We've conceded 48 goals in the league this season with 4 left to play, we should be the last team turning our noses up at skilled defenders.

Please don't even jest, comments like this make my chest hurt.
I would prefer we promote our own O'Connor. He looks to be defensively solid as well as his attacking play.
And the window happens to be closed.
Dalot has shown absolutely nothing to be considered one of the best fullbacks. He could become a very useful wide player id agree, but any concensus that he will be a competent right back is laughable. He's not had one good performance thus far in that position, he's best play is in a further winger role.
It's the easiest position to fix, any of the three mentioned would be a huge upgrade as to what we have now, which is nothing.
Its by far the worst generation of full backs since i can remember.
Seriously I can't understand why some people don't want to sing AWB because in a couple of years Dalot may become a good RB and AWB would "block him".
First of all, we have no warranty that Dalot will come good, he may end up being a bust as well. For all I've seen of him he is better attacking than defending and may well end up playing RW instead of RB. Secondly we are suposed to be a world class team we should not wait for no one to see whether or not he becomes good enough in order to sign new players, we should have a great team always, and lastly we are not in a position where we can wait for young players to develop, they are either good enough or not. If he's good enough he'll find the way around and play the great players always get minutes, even when they're young.

Personally feel Dalot will make a good,solid wide player for us.He's played far more offensively and shown a better ability further up the pitch.
I think he's also played LW for us and done reasonably ok.

It can be agreed in advance.
Herrera supposedly still hasn't signed for PSG
First choice would be AWB, the best young English defender around. If we can’t get him then TM, him and Sancho overlapping would be fun to watch
Another? When did we sign the first one?
Means having 1 on both sides, Shaw and AWB wouldn’t offer much Going forward.
I suspect Ander doesn't really want to leave us but instead waiting for an improved contract offer from Ed
The Fellaini approach.
To be fair he was pretty amazing at full back against Fulham (at home) Poor opposition granted
It can’t. You cannot agree to swap a player when the window opens, who will be out of contract when the window opens.
You’re not being serious right?
There are questions about our forwards going forward.
Being slightly less shit at attacking doesn't make him defensive.
No.
Herrera will be a player Ole wants to keep I'm sure. We have been awful without him lately and he does put his heart and guts into the team .
Pereira is a literal accident waiting to happen
Gary Neville was a laughing stock when he first appeared at right back. Too early to tell
Are you thinking of alan hansen?
Yeah he's made a few errors leading to goals this season.
I remember the joke going round back then that Fergie must play golf with the Neville brothers dad, as there's no other good reason why either of them should ever be in that team.
I think the rest of the team need to help them.
So shit he was an england regular, having made his debut in 1995.
To a degree yes but the good chances missed by our forwards have been plenty.
This is gold.
So how does signing a defensive fullback help?
@Ecstatic ..... what's he like?
I'm just ecstatic at the thought of Young not playing again and as Dalot seems not quite ready yet I would take a defender who can defend and then hopefully we get a good right attacker as we currently have none. He can then help out with goals and assists.
Joao Felix and his entourage have met with Man City, Man United, Liverpool and Juventus. He'll leave Benfica this summer, but for less than his €120m clause.
