It's Quiet the £250m return

We’re only going to see as the season unfolds. On the domestic front, some teams will continue to go man-to-man and give us open games, but I wouldn’t be surprised to see more teams, even better ones, deliberately drop off and look to pick us off. The Juventus game might give us an indication of how better teams will set up.
Only a few times did I see that happen last season. Chelsea and Bournemouth but they were just tactically naive. But thankfully we have Pep Linjders philosophy coming in so we will be able to attack and defend differently
 
Sell Gundogan and Kovacic (to Saudi if any offers) and bring in Gibbs White with the money we have saved on the Cherki deal. That way we have got 2 non HG players off the bill at the wrong age and brought a younger HG midfielder (on much lower wages) to replace their position in the squad. Then go for Livramento.

Sell Mubama for 10-20m, McAtee for 25-40m, Kovacic for 30m, Grealish for 30-50m. Pays for both Gibbs White and Livramento already with the additions we've already got.
It's been said multiple times but it's worth repeating. No club is spending 30m+ on Jack Grealish. We'll be lucky to shift him and his wages on a free transfer.

Fuck me I bet you were good at monopoly
 
I think we're going to struggle to shift our first team players. Grealish is going to be very difficult due to his wages plus 40m plus transfer fee, Phillip's probably couldn't shift him if we paid his contract up. Mcatee should be fine, Gundo on a free as well, but ones we're wanting a big fee for could prove difficult. Quite a few need to move on to get the squad down to a manageable level
 
The only slight hope is it's a World Cup year. You might get bids for Jack he will want to prove his worth in a World Cup year. I think we get offers for some of the players we want gone. Who goes out will be interesting. I feel 1 of Aki , Stones and Akanji will move on if not 2. Just think they will not want to miss out on World Cups with there nations.
 
Liverpool is an odd one.

Yeah they’ve spent money but the squad balance isn’t as good as ours was a few years back.

They lost TAA, their homegrown prodigy on a free and will lose Konate next year on a free. So can see why they want to snap up a player like Guehi now.

VVD and Salah aging and on huge deals.

Wirtz they joined the chat and everyone else left for what ever reason. Did he only want Liverpool or were Liverpool the only team that wanted him at those demands?

Frimpong is a good player but has his weaknesses, let’s see him play in a different system in a more demanding league. Kerkez is a great player and the thing I was most impressed with was his crossing, Liverpool don’t have a top striker.

I can’t see them getting Isak for two reasons. The cost of the deal and Newcastles own standing meaning they won’t want to sell. This could drag out and then they have to react and get a striker that isn’t the same level or not one at all.

But several people on here so worried. I hope Liverpool fans are also worried at what we are doing. Reijnders is a class player, Cherki is a huge talent, we finally have a LB, we have their old assistant that was amazing according to them and I don’t think we are done yet!

We will be fine, in fact we will be better than fine. It’s going to be a good year.

I am not sure how much of difference Kirkez will make a massive difference. They have two left backs. Suggestions both might now leave Robertson because he won’t be first choice and and the Greek lad coz he isn’t that good. As you pointed out they can put crosses in but need a strike

Even Wirtz great player but do they need a 10 if they are playing with wingers and a striker ?
 
Surprised Connor Bradley wasnt given 1st team rb spot at Lpool when TAA left on a freebie .
The acquisition of Frimpong surely means he will be starting games if fit & playing well .
Would Connor Bradley be worth a shout for the rb spot at city ?
Lijnders knows all about his game & his a big admirer of his from his time at klanfield .
H.G young & going to be one of the best fullbacks with experience.

Going by the asking rates, Isak will cost them close to or even more than £150m. He is out of their reach, at least for this season.

Their squad balance doesn't have to be as good as ours was a few years back.
No PL team is anywhere near our standard then and that includes our current team.
They were better than ourselves, arsenal, Chelsea etc last year and the onus is on these teams to catch them. Kerkez and Wirtz have to be seen as improvements.
Bradley and Frimpong are not a downgrade on Arnold.
Guehi coming in will be a bonus.
 
I did this like 2-3 days ago.. not counting Walker and Phillips:

View attachment 160609

4 Foreign players have to go and Grealish and McAtee were looking for exits.
If rumours Reis are staying is true, that would be Echeverri, Gundo, Akanji and Kovacic.

I think Kovacic is the unlikeliest to go and Akanji going I’m still skeptical - I think Reis only stays if Akanji can’t bring an offer.

But if Kova goes, City probably doing MGW then which is great news.

Stones, Akanji going means hopefully we go all out on Livramento.

The 110m already, 70m on MGW and 70-80m on Livramento would take our rebuild to 250m this summer which is brilliant business.

How do you know Bradley won't be 1st team RB.
There is a good chance he will be.
Bradley would be a good addition but the only way you'd prise him away from liverpool would be a kidnapping.

I don’t think we get £30 mill for Kova…but it’s a plan!

We shouldn’t be comparing our squad to Liverpool’s we should be comparing it to our own previous squads. Treble winners. Centurions. The question should be is this squad as good as those. Remains to be seen for me! Personally I don’t think we have as strong an 11. Squad maybe.

Frimpong isn’t as good as Trunt.

Kerkez isn’t as good as Robertson.

Both will take time to bed in.

Wirtz will replace Nunez (but they’ll play a different style. Wirtz is better.

For me, they’re weaker than they were atm.

Disagree with that mate. Kerkez is a step up on the now Robertson and Frimpong is more energy and faster than TAA, also both are crap at defensive work. Wirtz is a complete difference maker in their team unfortunately, added to their strongest area of the team as well makes them highly upgraded.
