we have just bought a winger to replace Sane this forum is full of ungrateful moaning people who want new toys Thats more depressing than the result last night
I don't agree with your chosen example, but I do agree with your overall point.
Yeah but Torres hasn’t even played yetIf you’re happy with annual QF exits from the CL then we should definitely persist with the current team. When a team stagnates you press the refresh button. That is how we got two consecutive PL titles, by upgrading the team and not staying with players like Sagna, Clichy and etc.
Ake being fast is no help if he is sat mostly on the bench, which I expect he will be.You do realize Ake is one of the fastest Center Back in the league and Koulibaly who I think we'll get isn't no slouch

Judging by Torres’ stats he won’t fix our main issue which is converting our chances. The most pressing need is getting someone who can reliably finish the chances that we create. No other team in the world pisses away as many as we doThis is one if the frustrating things- we have likely already fixed the problems of last night.
Pep said we couldn't play 433 because of the slow CBs. OK well if that was his reasoning we have already bought Aké who would have played if we needed pace.
People think we need another winger - we already have one.
We are supposedly already far down the line with 3 more.
Last night wont change anything in the transfer market because the club already knew the flaws that were exposed and has moved to fix them already.

Was going to post something similar,we are starting to make signings that have potential but on the whole seem like signings (so far of course that could change ) that will not see us challenge for titles or cups more like consolidating around the top 4,maybe I’m wrong but just get the feeling it’s looking a bit arsenal to me ..fair enough. That type of player.
we are turning into Arsenal a bit after they lost Viera. They lost any fight they had and replaced with loads of very similar players
we’ve lost Komapny .Zaba and others

He might but there’s nothing that suggests he will bang in 30+ a season and solve our biggest issue.Stats are pretty meaningless when you're 20 and in a bad side. The kid will get 5x the opportunities created for him to finish, and he'll be put in situations with the ball where he can create for others 5x more often.
I would like to see us go for Havertz/Dybala/Felix but don't know if we will in the end.
Completely agreed. A clinical striker should be our top priority.Absolutely need to improve our striking department, need someone who can actually score clinically. We ain't gonna cut it in the big games with forwards who score 1 in 5.
With Aguero constantly in the treatment table Sterling is the best we have atm and we look up to him to deliver the goals. We saw last night how that ends up with. He would be a fantastic player when he isn't demanded to be the main source of goals.
And Torres won't be the answer to the clinical forward problem.
I don't get Pep's reasoning, we can't play with 2 slow CB's so lets play with 3 slow CB's and hold a high defensive line, while reducing our attacking options.This is one if the frustrating things- we have likely already fixed the problems of last night.

Apologies don't want to derail the thread.
