You're right, but I couldn't see Bernardo Silva as a midfielder in our team when he arrived. Neither could I see Zinchenko as a left back. If Pep wants him and we do get him, I'll be confident he'll fit in without doubt.

He will not join, bro.

no pace needed, we get to counter about once ever 10 games. mostly play against Low block FC.

Dont think he'll ever end up here though

I think we need pace and/or acceleration against low block. U need people to run in behind, like Sterling. That's why, he is so important. Think about Grealish and Riyad start as winger. I would rather sign Leoa than Felix if Sterling goes. We have Felix kind of player in our squad.

That's why I love Rafael Leao and I'm not keen on Felix. We have tons of technical players similar to him but zero physical and direct wingers.

He definitely has enough pace and acceleration about him to play here if needs be.

Bro, we have tons of players similar to him, better to focus on direct and rapid wingers if Sterling would go. And IMO it's highly unlikely that we will buy someone to attack if Jesus will leave. We have Haaland, Alvarez, Sterling, Mahrez, Grealish, Foden, it's too much. We don't need him, if Sterling would go I think we need more Rafael Leao type of winger.
 
Leeds fans are still adamant that there is no clause. Tolmies info is now on Twitter as someones posted it. Leeds fans are laughing at it saying the clause was only if they went down. That a 35 million clause does not exist. That their Journalists have said there’s no clause.

Would both need to go for the big purchase to occur or just one?

I don't expect any other moves than Jesus's leaving and Phillips and Cucurella transfers. IMO our businesses will be all but done after that. I can't see any club paying 50M£+ for Sterling with his 300k£ per week. Mahrez will IMO probably stay.

That wasnt the discussion you said he doesnt have the pace to be a winger in our system, which is bollocks. Regardless of who stays or who goes he could play wide for us in his sleep if he needed too. so could Leao.

This sounds similar to something that happened a year ago

Havent seen any of their journalists posting that but there is defo a release clause this summer and it was two different values depending on survival or relegation. A business contact i have is a mad leeds fan and they have a box at elland road and he told me 7-10 days ago that there was a £25m relegation clause and a £35m release clause this summer for a champions league club and he had heard we were talking to him.

That makes alot of sense that the clause is for a champions league club.

At what position would Felix play? He is not a classic winger and we have signed Haaland/Alvarez as our strikers. We have tons of number 10 too.

Leave that to Pep, there is a chance we may see 4-2-3-1 a lot more next season, so any of the positions behind the striker, he’s a clever player and yes he is similar to what we have but I’d hazard a guess we are looking at players to unlock defences as we now have a striker! with pace & strength who feeds on through balls and crosses from deep
