We are looking at Livramento and Olan Aina because they are homegrown and we have no NHG places available as of now

Looks like Gundo & Kova are leaving (given the new Captain group) so there'll be a vacancy. I repeat Livramento isn't coming and Wharton would be a better option as an HG recruit that Aina. Pity Savinho, Khusanov, Echeverri, Reis & Bah won't be in the CL squad though.We are looking at Livramento and Olan Aina because they are homegrown and we have no NHG places available as of now

Gundogan and Kovacic only make spaces for Reijnders and Cherki not for a right back. Savinho and Khusonov will be in the squad. Reis,and Echeverri might be they might not they also aren’t attached at the hip one might one might not.Looks like Gundo & Kova are leaving (given the new Captain group) so there'll be a vacancy.

You can repeat as much as you like, Livramento might not come but he might. Wharton solves nothing though.

Check your arithmetic- there is room for all three new signings and a new RB if Gundo and Kova leave and the youngsters play PL only.Gundogan and Kovacic only make spaces for Reijnders and Cherki not for a right back.

I think I agree about Wharton but what are your thoughts ? We know Pep could play anyone at RBGundogan and Kovacic only make spaces for Reijnders and Cherki not for a right back.

If Kova and Gundo leave we need another top midfielder and Wharton is a better fit than MGW. I reckon Gvardiol and Reis will be playing in there soon too.I think I agree about Wharton but what are your thoughts ? We know Pep could play anyone at RB

Reis defo makes sense and was rumoured Pep wanted to see him there as well didnt he?

Pep also said he saw Josko's future in midfield.Reis defo makes sense and was rumoured Pep wanted to see him there as well didnt he?
Think ortega will go back to Germany be a first choice with a wc a year awayCould we go for another English Goalie and sell Ortega and get a none HG RB ? Like Wesley ?
Apart from been a rag(and we should have a no more rag ever rule) he is also not very good.Livramento isn't coming, Aine is too old and there are very few other HG candidates so I reckon we should get Dalot out of the swamp. Wants to leave the rag train wreck, already settled in Manchester, Madrid are sniffing allegedly so why not have a bid?
Can play both sides, quick, strong and big mates with half our captain group.

Oh really? That would be a mistake imo mate, Josko needs to stay CB now.

If we can make the squad space then for the price of Wesley, we could probably get Vanderson which would be the better signing imo.

Honestly I really don’t know, if we can’t get Livramento, can’t really think of a homegrown alternative, maybe the club can. Alternatively can they rejig the squad to get a non homegrown option. Last resort would be to go with Nunes and maybe one of the centre backs, not that I’ve ever seen him but could Reis play there ?I think I agree about Wharton but what are your thoughts ?

Very little chance we only register any players let alone 3 for PL in fact probably no chance IMOCheck your arithmetic- there is room for all three new signings and a new RB if Gundo and Kova leave and the youngsters play PL only.
Just to add if we did go down the not registering 2 or 3 players because the CL squad is full that give us for PL exactly what Pep says he doesn’t want a squad of 27/28 players with 4 or 5 not making the match day squad and being left at home

Bit late now but the right back recriyment issue we have is down to the HG rule so still don't know why we didn't get Robinson instead of Ait Nouri.
Him being homegrown would have meant we could bring in a non HG right back and open up a lot more options. Would also not have missed a few games for African cup of nations.

Would we not benefit from having Wharton almost regardless just because he is home grown ?Honestly I really don’t know, if we can’t get Livramento, can’t really think of a homegrown alternative, maybe the club can.

And who would replace him ?Think ortega will go back to Germany be a first choice with a wc a year away

Think recruiting a top class RB is a priority although others seem happy with the current Akankji/Nunes/Lewis combo.Very little chance we only register any players let alone 3 for PL in fact probably no chance IMO

The only suitable HG candidate is not coming and space has to be made to accommodate one on the free list although here again there are not many options. I would settle for Dalot because we need the finished article in his prime. I agree Pep just doesn't want good players festering on the bench or not in the matchday squad and that won't be happening next season.
