Just worry about which Bruno we would get, last season he was superb, this not so much, had a very average season and like our players has played non stop for a long time.

Zubinendi could be a problem getting in jan as will Bruno and Wharton but the likes of ricci and ederson should be easy enough so instead of dancing round trying to sign them we just go and get one of the Italians straight away and we have that cover . Because in January we have cup games and league games so no point in hanging around till deadline day . Then we get a Haaland cover and hopefully that takes us to summer .

The Italian ones are going to be the most difficult.Zubinendi could be a problem getting in jan as will Bruno and Wharton but the likes of ricci and ederson should be easy enough so instead of dancing round trying to sign them we just go and get one of the Italians straight away and we have that cover .

Zubimendi is the easiest if the lad wants the move. If he's still pissing about then we move on quickly.

I’d keep both. World class on their day and hugely experienced as well. We’d have to spend 60/70m to replace oneOne of Ake or Stones needs to be moved on, two sick note CB is too much, one will have to go.
Ricci in January is not the answer for me, it's going take time for him to adapt to the league and the difference in cultures, one for the summer maybe.Zubinendi could be a problem getting in jan as will Bruno and Wharton but the likes of ricci and ederson should be easy enough so instead of dancing round trying to sign them we just go and get one of the Italians straight away and we have that cover .

No doubting their abilities, they just can't keep fit.I’d keep both. World class on their day and hugely experienced as well. We’d have to spend 60/70m to replace one
Both on huge contracts , for me one will have to be moved on if possible, not sure they or we will be getting any offers.

True but easier to write than to achieve, though. Both contracts extend beyond this season and finding clubs willing to take either of them will be extremely difficult.One of Ake or Stones needs to be moved on, two sick note CB is too much, one will have to go.
100% it will be but we have to start getting ruthless this coming summer, no more excused or loyalty for the sake of it.True but easier to write than to achieve, though. Both contracts extend beyond this season and finding clubs willing to take either of them will be extremely difficult.
The competition next season and in the summer market will be very strong.
I think we need at least 1 midfielder and a cb in January.Not yet but with the situation not getting any better maybe we will have to change our priorities in January.
I would have said 2 MF but if Grealish keeps producing like Wednesday, one may be ok.I think we need at least 1 midfielder and a cb in January.
We desperately need a RB and CB for me.

RB, DM & CB required in Jan imo mate.
Not sure we will buy a rb in January, I think that will happen in the summer.I would have said 2 MF but if Grealish keeps producing like Wednesday, one may be ok.

And back up striker for the cherry on top!RB, DM & CB required in Jan imo mate.

I think that will be the summer to be honest, i think Savio could be the central front 3 role if required.

Their wages are the issue, unless we can do a player cash deal I can’t see either going, Stones will run down his contract I suspect.One of Ake or Stones needs to be moved on, two sick note CB is too much, one will have to go.
Agreed, CB is more important.I think that will be the summer to be honest, i think Savio could be the central front 3 role if required.
He needs to be playing to keep that England spot which he seems to value so much.Their wages are the issue, unless we can do a player cash deal I can’t see either going, Stones will run down his contract I suspect.

I understand what you're saying, but we also have to remember that it's only December and nothing major has been won nor lost, so the club won't be nudging anyone to the door yet. We also have to appreciate that the success enjoyed to date has largely been gained by an unprecedented bond of loyalty- in both directions. The club might not want any weakening of that bond.100% it will be but we have to start getting ruthless this coming summer, no more excused or loyalty for the sake of it.

Totally agree with that but loyalty can also come back to bite you hard as we have seen in the last month.
