How badly do we need the Cucurella signing?

When you look back on the last season as a whole, you might not put a left back on the absolute necessary sort of category. Cancelo has done very well there and Zinchenko has provided us with spark when we sort of struggled to break down low blocks. But, dissecting the season into high pressure moments, you notice that having a natural left back might have helped us out better...

Utilising a mixture of Foden, Bernardo and Kevin De Bruyne as a false 9, City have scored over 120 goals this season in all competitions. The prospect of adding Haaland to this side has had City fans dreaming of battering United 10-0, finally fulfilling the ‘it should have been ten’...
