Caner Erkin, who joined Inter whilst Mancini was still manager, on a free transfer from Fenerbahce, is available with Mancini having left and been replaced by Frank de Boer.
Depending on the price, he'd be another decent option.
Also, we're supposed to be looking at 22 year old Leeds left-back Charlie Taylor, who has one year left on his contract, and Leeds will apparently sell for £7M.
So €7.7M (£6.58M) for 31 cap Dutch international Bruno Martins Indi or £7M for Charlie Taylor, who's played at no higher level than the second tier, and who has 2 caps at England U-19 level.
Martins Indi has 3 U-17, 16 U-19 and 8 U-21 for Holland.
Surely we're not going to attempt to go through the season (as January would be a bust window) with a failed left winger or a right midfielder as our left back options.
There's no telling when Gomez is back, or how his injuries have affected him, plus there's the length of time required to regain complete match fitness and sharpness, so Gomez can be regarded as no more than a 'bonus option' possibly at some point this season.
