The club WC is a huge help, but having both will help the finances considerably and make us able to go and sign elite players ie not MGW!!

I hope the senior players that are staying next season are given a break from this tournament, Foden, Bernardo, Dias, Gravidol and Gundo would benefit far more from a long summer away from the game.I wonder how fast we will move on transfers? If we will have anyone in before the club World Cup as if a few are wanting out, KDB needing a new club etc then we aren’t going to risk their futures/or injuries at this tournament so will need some incomings in the first week of June?
Lets see how good are kids are and give the likes of Reis, Khush, Riley, Bobb and Ererchervi chance to shine.

Can’t see that happening mate to be honest. Khaldoon will not want another shit show like this season with the elite being there?
Getting back on track challenging for the PL title next season far more important for me.Can’t see that happening mate to be honest. Khaldoon will not want another shit show like this season with the elite being there?

Not sure who would stump up the money for Bernardo with him going into his last year of contract and with the wages he would want.I don't think Gundo and Bernie would be staying
Gundo I think could be off if he wants to keep playing regularly but does he want to become part of the coaching set up?

No mate, that’s why I was saying hopefully we have fast transfers in and out in the first couple of weeks of June? KDB is going, Walker as well it seems, Ederson , Stones, Grealish, Gundogan, Mcatee, Nunes, and Bernardo all likely to leave by the sounds of it and replacements required? If we are selling any of them then surely they won’t risk injury playing at the club World Cup?

Pure speculation ,a lot of noise about him going to Spain in the last few days and as said if we can get our money back I think he goes.
Not sure he will ever get better, I like the guy but he is so unpredictable and he does not score , assist enough and the big issue too many muscle injuries.
Respect your opinion.
I still hope he can prove his critics wrong.
Has abundant potential, Strong , fast, and exciting at times. Different to anything ee have in the squad. Would be great if we counter attacked at pace more.
At the moment the weaknesses you outlined are more prominent.
Doku isn't BasqueBilbao could probably pay him a good wage as well as they are paying Nico top money
I think Kev is leaking to this journalist he normally gets transfers for us during the transfer window but now he’s getting exclusives. Kev and him work together for the KDB cup, also done interviews with him about the cup and Belgian talent.

This is definitely Viana’s work and I’m here for it. These players will always be legends but someone had to be ruthless and take them away from Pep. Excited to see what the squad will look like.

Do Benfica have any players worth having as a kind of player swap?
Apparently, we're considering Trubin(GK) and António Silva, their centre-back, who, last I checked, is quite expensive and very good.Do Benfica have any players worth having as a kind of player swApp looking at their CB, Antonio Silva according to Sacha or someone.

Goalkeeper we need but not another CB?
A rest would prevent this sort of season happening againCan’t see that happening mate to be honest. Khaldoon will not want another shit show like this season with the elite being there?

Yep, that was my thought too. Maybe we really are making a fresh start. Perhaps the injury-prone players are on their way out—we'll just have to wait and see how it all unfolds.Goalkeeper we need but not another CB?

Unless Ake is toast as well but he’s homegrown?

Viana is ruthless, Sporting were in the same shape as us before him and Amorim. Old players at the end of their time and he gutted that squad in two windows. Completely rebuilt it. Saw a article when we announced him explaining how he rebuilt Sporting
