Matt Target left Newcastle for Middlesbrough. Malacia is available from Man Utd. Tomiyasu. Manquillo. Tomback. Conceicao. Ouorou are some players available without clubs.
Tomiyasu, market value £18M would be decent.

Sky Sports were linking us with Hector Font, Maitland-Niles and Kellen Fisher from Norwich last night.
Some of the clickbait sites have us linked to Pacqueta at West Ham now too.

We should just get Hibbo back out of retirement.
Enough with this fishing lark.

Maitland-Niles makes the most sense to me.
Knows the league. Can play multiple positions. Started nearly every game for Lyon last season. No-brainer for me.

Agree Si but would he come?

Si, Andrew, agree with you both. I like the sound of Fort and Fisher. Two young, outstanding right backs.
But we must be careful. Remember, you win nothing with kids.

Colin, I think they've done a good job over the past couple of years balancing experience and young players coming in.
I do think Tyler Dibling could benefit more with somebody like Maitland-Niles playing down his side with him.

Haven’t Lyons sold the players they needed to sell (PSR)? They said they no longer need to sell to buy.

No idea Colin but I'm guessing there's still a certain amount of player unrest over the mess they're in.

I think we’ll get Rensch on loan from Roma. I have nothing to back this up with. It is a complete guess.
The situation with us and RBs is just plain weird. It’s been going on too long.

I hadn’t realised that Tomiyasu is available. He is still quite young (26), and has quite a bit of Premier League experience. Japanese players tend to be very hard working. He doesn’t have the best attacking statistics, so in that sense he would be quite similar to Mykolenko, but he would be very solid in that RB position. I would be happy if we got him.

Tomiyasu has a lengthy injury list though. My rough maths makes it he's missed over 2 years of football in the 7 years he's been in Europe and it seems to be a varied range of injuries including knee, ankle and hamstring plus other 'muscular injuries'.

Mal, Ajay and Andrew... Tomiyasu is currently laid up with a knee injury. He had major surgery in February and is expected to be out until the end of the year.
Mal, Manquillo signed for Celta Vigo in July.
I remain convinced we will get a right back on loan next week.

Thanks Mike, I was unaware of those situations. I would love to see a natural comfortable right fullback like a younger version of Coleman.

Daniel Munoz from Palace, valued at 25 million, perfect right back for Everton, probably one of the best defenders last season in the premier league,albeit 29.

Tony #15, I'm a longtime admirer of Munoz as a lockdown defender for Colombia. Partner in crime with our old friend Mina. But never would he come to us. He's interested only in moving to a Top 6 club (he publicly covets City) or a CL club like Juventus. Sorry, wish I had better news!

What happened to Roman Dixon? Did he go out on loan?
There were rumours he was possibly off to Stockport.

Wouldn't mind seeing a deal with Roma to swap Dovbyk for Beto plus £10M. Not going to happen and Newcastle are sniffing round him now but it would suit all parties.
Beto would be better off going back to Serie A. Dovbyk would be exactly what we need now.

Ian,
I've been looking in vain for Roman Dicxon on the U21 teamsheets. They've played a few games now but no sign of him. And TransferMarkt only show his stats for last season.
When they disappear like this, it usually means they're out injured. Perhaps we should ask Jerome, as he knows exactly what's going on at Finch Farm.

Michael, suppose it's possible he's injured... our defenders spend most of the time on the treatment table.

Watched the last two Norwich games and was very impressed with Fisher. He plays good football, defends well and is calm on the ball.
Would love to get him and MAitland Niles as a squad player due to his versatility.
We also need to take into account how many players we will lose to Afcon.

If we are going to play with an out and out right winger then it could make sense to look for a solid defence minded RB. As Tony (15) suggests Munoz would be a great option but Mike (16) is probably correct in that Munoz will go to a club playing regular CL football. I have been impressed with O'Briens form and, if asked to concentrate solely on defending, am confident he will do well for us again.

Mike 16, It wouldn't surprise me at all if he ended up at City or a CL club, he wouldn't look out of place, never say never though buddy!

Arnau Martinez is one of the best young right backs in Europe and we could get him for £12 million.
Transfermarkt is showing only €10 million. An absolute steal.
Played enough games, but still young...assists and scores goals, but solid in defence.
Our scouting network is narrow and obsolete.
Might get him on loan with an agreement to buy
