As good as Ben White is, Timber looks exceptional on the ball in that inverted right back spot.
I really hope we keep Tierney so that way we can be mirrored each side of the defense with Kiwi/Zinchenko inverted LB and White playing regular fb or start Timber inverted right with KT regular fullback. Man it feels so good having legitimately great players available in all positions, with great players behind nearly the entire starting XI. Hopefully the injury curse doesn’t hit us too hard this year, I really think we have the talent to compete in all four competitions if we want to

No thanks unless we can get a bigger fee for him next summer. He isn't technical enough for this team. You see it everytime he plays. Good defensively but boots the ball up the pitch at the first instance of an opponent pressing.

I prefer Kiwior at LB and Tomiyasu as well. They, as well as Zinchenko actually have played midfield so they are comfortable with the ball. Tierney will be lucky to get 1,000 non FA Cup and League Cup minutes this season. He's essentially 4th choice and he isn't versatile enough to be trusted anywhere else on the pitch or in defense.

I know we love him but I don't think he is long for this squad.
