Disagree completely. We need somebody who can both play with Rodri and play when he is unavailable. I would prioritise a defensive midfielder and push Rodri higher for a lot of games.
Since last summer, we have lost 45 goals a season from Mahrez, Gundo and now Alvarez combined. We have maybe added 7 or 8 with Savio, 5 with Doku and a few with Bobb if he continues on his trajectory. We simply cannot keep taking goals out of the team and not replacing them as at some point, you will start to struggle.
We have clearly had major issues shifting the players that we don't want here this summer. Phillips, Cancelo and maybe even Nunes. But we have quite an aging midfield and we are potentially looking at Pep's last season. Add a 34 year old right back to that and the fact we now only have one striker and you start to see potential holes and weaknesses creeping up.
I'm not panicking, Pep always finds solutions, but to me you take the opportunity to use Pep's pull whilst he is still here and look to attract the players to come to the club. IF, and it's a big if, any of the charges stuck and we ended up with some form of points deduction, we could see ourselves out of the Champions League for a couple of years and finding it difficult to attract the players that we want.
