I think your right to an extent. But we need to make teams shit themselves when they see our line up. That's what all the top super teams rely on. It changes the mentality of the whole game. With the squad we might be getting we can rotate players and systems to suit. Against the lower 10 at the back teams, like unite ;-), playing those three up front with kev, Silva or bernardo as two behind and Dino or toure sitting, not to mention the new full backs, its difficult to see us not scoring a hat full. Use a different system and players for each situation. Bit different than playing 3 up with Navas, Fernando, sagna and Clichy in their roles instead of Alves, Walker, mendy, sanchez etcI might be wrong but I think we need to get away from the thinking of a 3 man attack, or midfield etc for that matter.
Pep wants to be able to compete for everything, especially the two main competitions. He can see the advantage teams have, who are only competing for one.
Whatever he says in public, he now knows the Prem is miles more intense than anything he has faced before. So he effectively needs to be able to field a different set of players on a Saturday, to a Wednesday if necessary, without a drop in standard.
So a '3' in any area, becomes 6 or 7.
No Simon, make that twoIm probably in a very small minority of one but I wouldn't swap Kun for Mbappe anyway....certainly not at the moment. Mbappe undoubtedly has talent but its not uncommon for players with that talent to never realise it.
I understand why we would try and buy him now as we may not have chance in the future but Kun is proven...you know you get 20+ goals at least a season from him (its pretty much guaranteed) ....you cant say that about Mbappe (or even Sane Sterling)......I also think GJ is equally as exciting talent as Mbappe (and maybe more - i think he has more to his game)......
Sanchez is a no brainer on the other hand - he fits Peps system like a glove and is also proven..he has that ability to drop deep, play wide or lead the line
