he's no worse than Mangala.. you don't need a world beater to be your 4th CB.Not for me, never has come close to being good enough.

Exactly this. Palmer is a superb finisher with either foot. He's brilliant at taking those half chances on the edge of the box. Cool and composed.It isn't against a solid bank of 10. I suspect this is where the strength and power of Haaland will be most useful as he will be able to hold it up, release it to the creators, and then go again to get on the end of the attack. In addition, Palmer and Alvarez add to the finishing ability. Granted, not yet in the PL, but both have a natural finishing prowess at the level they have played at.
Ake only leaves at the right price, which would be more than what we paid as he was improving loads last seasonFor me:
Haaland adds goals Jesus doesn’t get
Phillips adds legs Fernandinho no longer had
Cucurella adds left back attacking zinchenko can’t do (much as I like him)
Alvarez is an unknown bit replaces sterling who isn’t a staring 11 player
Ake leavimg is an issue - but only with numbers as he never really convinced as a starter
May as well bring Savic back as well, that should really please the dressing room.he's no worse than Mangala.. you don't need a world beater to be your 4th CB.
are people now actually losing their shit over how to hypothetically replace our 4th choice CB?...We just signed Erling fucking Haaland, nice and early too...replaced Dinho with an England international...have the reigning SA POY coming in...signed a keeper who was rated behind only Neuer last season in the Bundesliga as our back up keeper...are on the verge of signing a young, dynamic LB (a true, natural LB, imagine that)...and some are creating a buzzkill over whether Ake stays or goes!!!!
