The EDS kids are simply not good enough for an elite side and we have a manager who is incredibly reluctant to play them.Well if that’s the case gamble with the eds lads instead of being ripped off for average players because there isn’t anyone else
I’ve come round the conclusion that our period of dominance is over. It’s football. It’s cyclical. We had a golden period of players managed by the best to ever do it in this country.
And that’s fine. We will still win the odd trophy but we won’t be challenging for league titles on a consistent basis imo. It was a perfect storm and now that storm has fizzled out. That’s life

Yes, so none of us know. Those at the club will know though. For me in the few times I’ve seen when he has played for us he’s looked more a City player than Palmer and the others that have gone ever didWith our present situation Bobb is becoming better with every passing day.
He looked superb in preseason but so did the likes of several of the young players but as this time he is a prospect who has lost 9 months of his career to a very serious injury at a vital time in his career at our club.
Agreed but I do think the club lack a maverick or two, unpredictable layers that can cause havoc, we are so very predictable.Yes, so none of us know. Those at the club will know though.

If only we had got Ward-Prowse as so many wanted.Should have bought Rice the list goes on
And have someone at the club that can actually take a set piece. Don't they realise being shit at corners is our thing!If only we had got Ward-Prowse as so many wanted.
Shit at corners because De Bruyne takes all of them. Last corner Marmoush took we scored in the semi. Thankfully he hasn't taken one sinceShit at corners because we are a team of midgets
I agree. After the season we had I can’t believe the club doesn’t understand how important this rebuild is, easily the most crucial one in our recent history.I am a bit concerned with the players were being linked with. I've not seen any yet that remotely get me excited or I feel are our level. We don't need to sign superstars for £100m but we do need to target players that have that potential and top player mentality like we did when we signed the likes of Silva, KDB etc.
I do think Rodri will raise the levels again next season, but the midfield and full backs are a massive priority to get right this summer. I also think Marmoush will be brilliant next season and will really add goals to the team.
finally someone being honest about this club and these players. Not even hating on any player just stating facts.It’s obvious Khusanov will fit in when we sell the other CBs. Doku and Savio will improve. I think we are all just a bit emotional from yesterday
the only option: Ait Nouri. I really don’t understand why we’re not all over him. He’s perfect in defence and attack. Got the most g/a as a defender in the league. Got the most tackles won against dribblers. Still 23 with tons of experience. Tall. Fast. Technically gifted. Can invert and most importantly OVERLAP so our inside forwards can come inside.Who would you pick for left back mate? My suggestions are only the most likely based on the numerous rumours? I’d love Kerkez in and Vanderson at right back but it just isn’t going to happen unfortunately. I don’t think we will go high enough for Gibbs-White either but would prefer Reijnders anyway.
I honestly don’t rate Rico but it wasn’t English i’d want him gone. Your list is perfect but an extra winger (Rodygo) just wouldn’t fit the budget unfortunately.Lewis and McAtee need to go, they’ve had enough chances and they’re just not the level we need.
Bernardo needs to go, he offers nothing now. Same with Gundogan.
Kev already going, and unfortunately I think Eddie too.
So we need a keeper, two proper, top class full backs, and at least one high energy midfielder that can score or at least create.
Ideally at least one winger that can score too, none of ours can.
People need to manage their expectations. I don't see us signing any players you would consider truly elite.
Are the charges affecting our drawing power?People need to manage their expectations. I don't see us signing any players you would consider truly elite.
Why?

All is lost :)Because we aren't in for any of that calibre.
The links we are getting are precisely the people we are targeting.
Forget Wirtz, I've not once thought Bayern hadn't long ago secured his services. I knew it as soon as Musiala signed his new deal.
There are only so many elite players on the market and most will already be playing at direct rivals.
We fucked up ignoring deals that PSG have done for the last two season.
