No one needs to make room for Alvarez. He’s taking up Torres’ spot in the squad. I think (but what do I know) that we could use Jesus in a deal for Felix. He’s much closer to what Simeone would want. Mind you, I’m not advocating that Jesus leave, only in the scenario that he’s still pushing to go and the club allows

That depends on who leaves to make room for him, which is the only way this deal could happen from my understanding. Felix - Haaland - Foden… Real Madrid can’t match this kind of young explosive talent combination even with Mbappe

A front three of them is unbalanced for me. All great players but Felix (and Foden to a degree who I guarantee will drop deeper and more central with age) are wasted there.

It’s complicated to talk about that because we need to know who we’re playing against. Mahrez (IF he doesn’t leave) plays a big part and will play a lot. Alvarez can cover as a sub. That’s good enough rotation.

Now if we switch how we play, which was your earlier suggestion, makes it even easier

On Felix. You’ve nailed it. We’d need to lose Sterling or Mahrez to sign another attacker and IMO neither will go because no one will pay their value and neither player will want to force a move away. And even if they left Felix isn’t a wide player or a winger.

Agree with your other points, though in 12 months' time neither of those players is likely to be with the club as their contracts then expire. If the club has concluded that this is a coming reality and wants to act now to preempt their leaving, then that would make sense. Not saying it's necessarily likely, but it is understandable.

I see Phillips as nothing more than another Nobby Stiles - average, dirty and lucky to play for England. if Pep really wants him, then he will have to work really hard on him to bring him up to our level. Surely there are has to be better players out there?

I think it's more so the price is what's the attractive bit. Not many midfielders available for 25 mill.

unless sterling and jesus confirm they want to leave?

Jesus is going but I can see Sterling staying. Even if they both went, I wouldn't go for Felix as a replacement - unless it was an exchange. Even then, I don't know what he'd add that isn't incredibly similar to what Foden, Grealish, Bernando and potentially Palmer/McAtee offer.

Haaland Alvarez Sterling Mahrez Grealish Foden is crazy good. I do think we need a couple of CM’s but our squad is better than theirs in terms of quality and depth is relative. You can have loads of average players sat around or you can have the quality we have. Just my opinion of course. I can see a lot of people rate theirs more than ours.

I’m surprised on Bluemoon there’s such a focus on attacking options. Everywhere else i talk to blues the focus is CM and full back.

Alvarez is a gamble. If he comes good it's a bonus.
Mahrez 31 and flaky.
Sterling patchy form for 2 years.
Grealish will never be a productive front 3 player and we will only see the best of him as an 8.

Our front 3 options are a weakness compared to the opposition imo.
