It's not sexy, and certainly not the biggest need, but this club really needs a cheap, versatile fullback who can do a job, especially defensively, ideally someone who can play on both sides when needed.
We lost both starting fullbacks yesterday, and Tierney looks like he could be out for a while. Both will be injury question marks for the rest of this season at least.
Adding a decent fullback in January could really make a difference this season, so that we aren't relying on both Kolasinac and AMN (who doesn't want to play fullback.) And if either of those guys gets hurt, we'd really have a potential crisis.
It would be smart to make a January move for a guy with a profile like Connor Roberts from Swansea and the Welsh national team. Cheap, young, versatile, apparently solid defensively, improving, and should be willing to fill in wherever and whenever needed.
