Last summer we pretty much got 90% of the players I either wanted or had positive opinions of. Not only that, we got players in positions I predicted we were.
I wanted Jesus, Sane, Gundogan, Stones, and Pogba and was okay with Bravo's quality. My only objection was Nolito. I didn't like his age and the fact he didn't fit the speedy winger mode I thought we needed.
So in short, I gotv5 of the 6 plauers I wanted, was okay with the 6th we got and only had reservations about 1. I'm short I got a perfect summer.
This season, I expect the pendulum to swing hard the other way, meaning we'd probably get a bunch of players I do t want. Here is the likely list.
GK: Ederson ( The only one we will get that o want)
LB: Rose or Kolasinac (I want Grimaldo, or Bernat)
RB:Fabihno or Heinrich (I'm okay with this but i'd rather we got Kimmich, Semado, or Karsdorp)
CB: Bonnuci Pepe or Rudiger ( I'd rather we got VVD as a starter or Vlad Chiriches if we are looking for a backup)
DM: Fabihno or Carvahlo (I'm okay with Fabihno, but really bot that interested in a specialist DM, would rather have Isco, Rafihna or Vetrati I.e. a regular CM)
CM: We are not going to get one ( yep that sucks as Isco or Rafinha will be a great addition.)
FW: OX ( as part of our Englishification of the squad instead of say sire fire winger forwards like Mbappe or Coman)
So here is my feared list of likely incoming:
Ederson, Rose, Kolasinac, Pepe, Gibson, Carvahlo, Oxlade Chamberlain, Roberts, Maffeo.
