Players who might improve us

Will be interesting to see who the club goes for as Fernandinho replacement. Kalvin Phillips would be my preferred choice, and seems to be some rumors about him leaving for a bigger club this summer. Plays in a similar role, dont have a 100m+ price tag, homegrown (which isn't any immediate problem but still a positive), English international. Would probably be more willing to accept a squad rotation role than someone like Rice since Rodri would still be first choice pretty much whoever we bring in. Ticks just about every box for me, a bit surprised there hasn't been more links of him going to us.

Gotta think Bielsa trained in a 6, would make becoming a Pep player a much easier transition?

Unfortunately, there is a downside. Might have been cheaper just to have had 'I'm a complete twat' tattooed on his forehead.

 
We all know we need some goalscorers.

We already have Delap here and are bringing in Alvarez and hopefullly Haaland.
But Delap is still unproven and for the other two, moving to a new country, adapting to the PL and to Pep's style etc, can be tough, and we may have to be patient before they all start producing.
So If/when Norwich go down, why not try to sign Teemu Pukki?
The lad knows the league, can score goals and works hard from the front. I know he's getting on, but i doubt he would cost a fortune and could be useful while the others are adjusting to life with us.

Think I'd rather have Jo than Puuki
 
Every time we play Leicester I think Pep would work wonders with James Maddison and he looks like a City player already. A bit inconsistent but generally really good.

Anyone else like him? Surprised he’s still at Leicester
 
Could Max Aarons be an option for us? Norwich are going down, and one would think they are looking to sell him. He is a RB though, a left-back is probably more needed?
