Actually, Jankulovski is an average fullback because he can't defend ... but if Cissokho is our starter, then Jankulovski will be able to compete for a place in the midfield, and if Cissokho has an injury, Jankulovski can play some games again in this LB position.
This way, that will mean that in the worst case, our LB player will be the one we have had for the last 3-4 years, which means we improve this position as this former starter will be the backup.
If we sell Jankulovski, we will have the same problem as this year: if Cissokho is injured, Zambrotta will have to play on the left ... and like except Flamini, we have no decent backup for this RB position (Antonini for Serie A is ok, but I can't imagine him in CL, and if we use again Flamini there, that means there will be less competition in midfield).
So I'm happy if we do some signings of this kind, but I will wait the end of the mercato to be really happy (waiting to see if we sell some players or not, hoping we won't because for me, it would be a mistake, we really need a bench).
