The Squad planning thread

[Skrastins]

I’m surprised we’re not looking at Chema Andrés from Stuttgart, he’s the closest thing I’ve seen to Rodri at 20 years of age.

we have been linked, but very faintly

+ Real Madrid has 14mil buyback clause, if they wanted, they could just buy him back like with Nico Paz

Paz is some player to be fair, Smit as well

Would be a great addition bit the whole sitiation woth the clauses is something we should avoid 50% sell on clause is a proper pisstake

Boring me saying it again I know but bring Anderson, Maza and Fresneda in and we would be sorted! Would love a top quality winger but with Doku and Semenyo here already and Foden getting his new contract then even if Savinho left it would be overkill spending huge money in an expensive winger? With Foden and Cherki then unfortunately as well Smit would be pointless signing

Bayern fully going for Gordon and PSG now in for Diomande as well shows how we need a top quality push this summer as those two squads are better than ours slightly already and they are looking to push on. Viana will be wanting to make at least a couple of big signings this summer imo

Bayerns squad isn’t better than ours. Their bench is horrific

 

[BluestBlue]

Enzo is good when he’s not responsible for winning duels and being the main creator, I just don’t like the fact that he doesn’t have to work rate or mobility to survive in a PSG side unless you surround him with work horses. Anderson is one

 

[WRicko]

The ones which your supporters have mentioned have not interested me only 2 appeal to me but only as loans Trafford if Ortega leaves us and Marmoush but would need help with his salary would these be realistic ?

Ortega ? You mean the one we just got rid of ?

 

[Ken92]

Need to sort up that right hand side. Bring in classy winger to take over from Semenyo and get a good right back to substitute Nunes or play over him next season. Also a midfielder or two is a must.

 

[thedude1993]

Apart from someone saying on here that they have heard from someone who knows someone, what do you know about Van Ewijk and how much have you seen him play?

nope haha just heard something from someone who knows someone. apparently hes quick, good and we need cover in that position

 

[TonyColemansbagofapples]

Pretty much nailed on then

Their top say 13 is currently better than ours I would suggest? If we played them now, who do you honestly think would win?

if both squads were fully fit and in form and Pep picked the right lineup I’d back us. We have all the players to shut them out and to score

He's very poor defensively and not a good passer. Quick and a decent cross is about it.

Probably better as a WB than a FB but nowhere near our level. I'd be shocked if we were seriously looking at him.

Mateus Fernandes was excellent today. I know he missed his chance, but he was brilliant.

Agreed, 21, has huge potential and probably van get him for £30mil

Imagine half the league will be interested in him though... but with Bernardo going there is an opportunity

Cherki was doing well as a RW before the arrival of Semenyo.

He was really good. That miss will haunt him but that’s football…..Lukaku probably still has nightmares.
Exactly the type of player we need in the middle, looks a younger version of kovacic with the ball carrying.

We need energy and quality in the middle of the park. That’s what PSG is built on.
We have a good quality defence with depth, 2 decent keepers (for now).

It was obvious in the last two games that the speed and desire of Foden was much needed when he came on

 

[Tb1981]

I reckon Viana is a lot more ruthless than Tkixi.
He needs to just make the changes needed and not worry about feelings.

The defence is sorted, maybe get Reiss back for more depth if needed and a right back.

As for midfield I think we need maybe three centre mids and a winger
Anderson is obvious along with maybe a fernandes from West Ham for the energy
I do think he may also then get Tonali/enzo

No idea on the winger. I can maybe see dembele from PSG as a left field option
Can’t play every game but plays accross the front and is a big game player

I see Rico, Reijnders, Nico G, Marmoush all leaving
Along with stones, bernado, kovacic and ake

I can’t find it but there was another post over the weekend about Viana meeting Dembeles agent last week again.

Don’t think it was for Dembele but the meeting did happen. Implied by Fabrizio
