How long will the rebuild take?

The rebuild will be big. We need a right back, we have 2 central defenders who are always injured, the midfield is old and slow, our wingers must be the most unproductive players playing that position in the league, and we need a backup striker.

Apart from that nothing else needs doing, well apart from maybe a keeper.
You can't really blame our wingers for being unproductive, what's the point in having fast, tricky wingers whilst playing an increasingly pedestrian possession based style of football? It renders the strengths of those wingers completely ineffective.
 
However Pep will start the ball rolling hence why he was given a 2 year deal. If the board had any real issues with Pep staying and being part of the rebuild he would have been replaced.

Good point, well made Ray. Certainly a lot more reasoned response than some of the others made to my comment.

Whether or not Pep actually sees out those two years will be entirely his own decision. There's no way the current Board would sack him.

Whether the decision to offer the two year deal was a good idea remains to be seen. Let's all hope that it was.
 
Realistically it could just take January and summer.

Prioritise a right back and defensive midfielder in January (or a centre back instead of right back and move Akanji to right back as I feel that is his best position)

I believe that would give us the foundation to get ourselves into the top 4 and be able to attract the better players in summer.

Then in summer.
Attacking midfielder (Wirtz or Musiala)
Goalkeeper (either back up to Ortega or go all out for Costa. as I feel it could be Edersons last season)
Back up striker for Haaland (John Duran from villa would be perfect)
