You are comparing those players to Phillips, Gomez, Palmer, Perrone, Lewis and McAtee? Really? Zinchenko would be the only one on that list comparable to the ones I mentioned now. Sane and Sterling were both some of the best young prospects in the world, and were starters for elite teams...

My bad, it was 14. Still the thinnest squad Pep has had in his career. If we are dangerously thin in few positions, then we are having a bad transfer market, and that is my frustration right now (something that could change in next weeks of course). Last season was the best season for us with...

I don't count Laporte, especially in this new system he is not fighting for a spot in the first 11. But my bad 14, and not 13 like I said.

Kovacic, Alvarez, Akanji, Gabriel Jesus were 15-30m players who give great depth and can fight for a spot in the starting 11. Other teams have players in that price who can fight for a starting position in our team. Other than long-term injuries? Let's gamble on that not happening then. Even...

Again, we don't need 2 players per position. But we definitely need more than 13 players who can be starters (you go to the extreme as usual). This is the smallest squad in Pep's career, and you really think that after 15 years as a manager, this is what he always wanted? Palmer, McAtee and...

I hate this type of arguments. No one wants to have two first teams. But if you think there is no problem with the squad we have right now, I don't know what to tell you. I assure Pep is not satisfied with the size of the squad now. Right now, we have 13 players who can fight for a starting...

13 players for rotation. That would be our smallest squad ever. Again the possibilities of not having 2 or more players injured at the same time in an entire season are minimum (Stones, Ake, KDB, Foden, Kovacic are all injury prone). I am sure Walker goes to Bayern and people like you will...

That is a terrible squad to face 6 competitions. You only have 13 players who would fight for being in the first 11 (Ederson, Akanji, Stones, Dias, Ake, Walker, Rodri, Kovacic, Foden, KDB, Bernardo, Grealish, Haaland, Alvarez), 1 that is a good player but doesn't work on this system (Laporte)...

Or maybe it means that we have the best manager ever. I am not saying our business side is bad, but with Pep everything is way easier. You don't get your primary target? No worries, Pep will figure out a new formation or will improve the 3rd option you got him. Selling players is hard? No...

That is a supposition based on logic, transfer news and Leipzig's behavior. Based on your comment then let's close the transfer forum until there is a signing.

Because they have sold two of their main players for 140m (one via release clause so they have all that money right now) and because they are in the UCL.

Alright, so let's ignore all the transfer news about Leipzig having a fixed salling fee. Let's ignore all the transfers above 60m from all the other clubs that happened in the first 2-3 weeks of the transfer market. What do you need to criticize the club for taking 2 months in this negotiation?

Zero reading comprehension... you can only negotiate when yoy have negotiation power. Leipzig have already sold two big players (Szolozbai and Nkunku) and they qualified for the UCL, so they don't need the money. Then, Gvardiol has a long term contract and a release clause that is pretty high...

It's an exageration. What I meant is the fee is non-negotiable, so either you pay it or not, and that decision should be quick. Payment structures, bonuses take time, but we have heard rumors even before the transfer market started. It doesn't take 2 months, and again Leipzig have all the...

This is just stupid. Leupzig had two great sellings already, and Gvardiol has a long term contract with them, so negotiations are impossible with them. Either we pay the price they want or we walk away because they are not gonna lower the price. This should've taken 2 days at most, but here we...

I like that our team sets a max price and they stick with it, but I hate that it takes them ages to back down and go for another player. From the German press and Leipzig themselves, it has always been super clear how much money they want and that they didn't want to negotiate until we get to...

Some of our fans think that all our players are the best in their positions. I am sure some even think our youngsters are better now than established top players on United, Liverpool or Chelsea. That is the level of delusion. If you haven't watched Pavard constantly, then check his stats (which...

? Arsenal and Bayern 3 signings, Liverpool, Tottenham, Villa 2 signings, Madrid and Barca 1 world class signing, and only Manchester and Newcastle 1 signing. The difference is that they have not lost a world class player (maybe only Madrid with Benzema). We did, so again every one of them have...

Exactly. The price they are getting for Mount in his last year, Havertz, getting rid of big salaries to Saudi teams (players they didn't want in the first place). They have had an incredible summer

I was one of the few who were confident in January that we were going to win all the titles and I am always one of the few who laughs on matchdays on all the desperation when we don't score in the first 10 min. Go ahead and look at my post history. Anyway, at least I give arguments, answer these...
