I don't think we need to add anything else

A DM at least I would hope

This lad and a replacement for Dinho and Sterling.

Anything else cab be covered by the brilliance in the academy,hopefully.....

It's a round up of the reports earlier in the week, I see nothing in the piece which suggests it is anything but that.

cheers Tolmie !

Think Gabby is more than good enough to stick around

Would Gabby want to remain a squad player long term? He's already been 'rested' from the last Brazil squad & there's continued rumours of Juve being interested.

Though he looks like the world's best prospect, so did Sancho.
It is a long way from being a potential transfer to being part of the strongest XI and a massive drop-off when he doesn't play. I am excited by Haaland's potential arrival but we will also have, already, one of the best squads in world football and it will be supplemented by the return of Palmer, the development of Delap, the continued excellence of Foden, the integration of Grealish, and so on...

Hot take but I think Sancho could have done well for us

Quite possibly. He is a talent but my point is that it can take several seasons to integrate. In his case, he is part of a mess. In our case, Haaland (should he come) will enter a possession-based team that does not play on the counter and faces deep-lying packed defences in nearly every game; it will be a challenge and not a given that he is immediately a success. He is probably as sure a possible success as there is though.

The worrying thing about this thread is that it is very similar to the thread on RagCafe when, six weeks after he had joined us, the Rag hordes were drawing up starting elevens that included David Silva. If Real do owt in the CL this season, like winning it, he'll fuck off there, and miss out on developing under the greatest coach in the land and all the world.

Salzburg was a possession-based team. In fact, often was Dortmund under Lucien Favre
