Thoughts on Estupinan as a cheaper LB option. Seems superfluous to requirements at AC, so should be available cheap. 28, so in his prime and should challenge Shaw. Maybe too old for the current management, but I always thought he was solid at Brighton.

He'd be an interesting option, as would Antonee Robinson from Fulham. We have both Amass and Leon in the youth set-up, who are highly thought of, while it's still not certain whether Dorgu will end up as a LB or a winger, or even if he proves good enough long-term in either position. We also have quite a bit of inexperience in our back line. Lemmens is young for a keeper and only has one year's experience in one of the top leagues in Europe, while the injury concerns over more experienced players like Shaw, Martinez, and MdL mean that we could easily end up with a CB partnership of Yoro and Heaven for periods next season.
Therefore, signing a LB with a bit more experience and possibly even leadership could actually be a very smart move. Someone who can slip in and perform week in, week out immediately, offer leadership and experience to our younger defenders, but wouldn't necessarily be a long-term block to some of your young LBs coming through.

Id be wary of him. Amorim wanted us to buy him from Brighton and is now AC Milan manager, so if he wants to get rid of him, doesn't seem positive.

Leon, by all accounts, is far off it. Amass is apparently off on loan, Wrexham.
Dorgu, for me, is LW, looks solid there.
Shaw is fine for now, but he needs back or be the back up.
Estupian would be no for me.
Robinson or Hall would be my picks.

2 good left backs, Utd Road, both are miles better than Shaw, who we are stuck with.

Robinson is excellent but has a suspect injury record.

RM, I think that Barca only ever wanted him for a year tbh. The cost of the deal, wages and loan fee, suited their budget at the time.

I think Ismaila Sarr would be a good fit if available at the right price. Can play across the front 3 and up top. Energetic, scores goals and proven prem form.
