The issue is going to be money. Players who are good enough for us are all going to be in excess of 40 million pounds. Especially in those key positions. Financially i'm not sure we can do 8 first team players this summer without at least one if not two being bargains (under 20 million). I expect we'll spend probably gross close to 250 million. That's six 40 million pound players on average plus a 10 million bargain thrown in.

Cool, so in 2 years we will bring in 10+ players. Absolutely nothing wrong and ridiculous about that...

Spend 250 million and watch the already appalling reffing of our matches get even worse.

One of the reasons that Spurs are popular in the media is that they haven't thrown ludicrous amounts of money at building their team.

I mean Alli played for Milton Keynesand he cost 5 million!!

Your going to have a tough time convincing people we dont need 5+ players. Address the fullbacks and maybe a new goalkeeper then done.

I'm a bit baffled about Pickford. Those who know him and his attributes are saying that he's the perfect Pep keeper. And yet on our side whenever I hear from supporters it's generally "he's absolutely not a Pep keeper". Either way he'd already be a City player had he not got injured in Dec. A deal was agreed back then.

Bit of a kicking for our young keepers?
 
Fabinho is the DM we should be balls deep for, fantastic footballer. Not surprised he doesn't want to play FB, he hasn't played there for 2 seasons.

I misread the gamelog and thought he was in the lineup in the arsenal 2-2 draw. Whoops! With Kompany.

Chelsea L: 1-2
Arsenal L: 1-2
Everton D: 1-1

Last year
Liverpool L: 0-3
Liverpool Cup: D 1-1
Totty L: 1-2

It's 11v11 of course...but with VK it's a fact that nothing changed.

And Oh look you've forgotten the Southampton game we won 3:0.

Weak, and incorrect stats, to argue a point I've just said can't be argued with just looking at the scorelines, the difference in the cohesion between the CB's is clear for everyone (nearly everyone) to see.
 
Lovely, it's not enough that we're being fucked on the field every big game, but we have to go fuck ourselves in the ass by signing Pickford, Cavarlho, Mendy, and Walker.

Again, who is bringing up Carvalho?

Surely Pickford would be a backup keeper when Willy leaves?

Potentially, though I'm sure he'd have suitors who could guarantee he'd be the number 1 and why not just bring up Gunn?

Pickford is a good keeper for sure, but not a Pep keeper so I'm sceptical. Unless you've heard something, IBH?

Mendy and Walker significantly improve us, both are very good fullbacks.

Not see much of Carvalho and Pickford is a strange choice granted.

Heard nothing other than we are hard in for Ederson so this curveball from Billy has thrown me a bit

Ederson is represented by Jorge Mendes. Just my opinion, but as heavily linked as we have been with him and even with the number of ITK's saying it's done, I am very skeptical. We're talking about over 40 million pounds for a new keeper. No way we do that and also keep Bravo around. It's just not a realistic proposition.

Personally would like the bench next year to have plenty of our own youngsters on it. Tosin, Roberts, Brahim et al

As for the XI i don't think completely altering it in one window is going to get us a league winning side. Chelsea bought Alonso and Kante and that was enough. We need a couple more than that.

...............Ederson
Walker....Stones Otamendi...Mendy
.............Fabinho
..........Silva.....Gundongan
Jesus.......Kun..........Sane

subs

Sterling, KDB, Fernandino, Kompany, Kolarov, Bravo, Kelechi, Garcia, Maffeo

Just with those 4 signings we already look a whole different team and look at the strength on the bench.

Bearing in mind Jesus and Gundongan are pretty new to the team, adding more than 4 new guys is going to lead to another transitional season.

In terms of cost, what are we looking at for these 4?


 
Leaving it to me to flap then?

If Billy's info is correct, it's all a bit meh isn't it? I know the worlds biggest blues on here would jizz themselves at any signing - but does anyone else hope we'd go all out to blow the rest of the teams away and give Pep a serious team to work with?

Pickford and Walker? I hope we're not going to go the route we did of the likes of Garcia, Rodwell etc. We need more than mediocre signings.
