Hope we still get a natural full back in on the left, regardless of the Zinny situation. We look very narrow with the wingers left in the mix.If we can’t get Cucurella I hope we go for Raum he’s going to be something special.
West ham in talks so if we want him we may have to express that to his camp relatively soon.If we can’t get Cucurella I hope we go for Raum he’s going to be something special.

Thanks. Still can't see him turning them down as he's Guaranteed a start there
We aren't pushing him out and he does really love the Club and his life here.
Must be a tough decision. He will win nowt at Arsenal.

Maybe wages
Perhaps. Really don't know the pieces.
Forgetting the lb situation for a minute I think it’s absolutely crazy we are seemingly happy to go into next season with a smaller squad than last year.
Just can’t get my head around it. I’d rather pep just chuck the fa cup away early on rather than at the semi final stage once the fixture pile up starts.
We as fans may be happy with just the prem but the club constantly talk about the will to compete for every major trophy. With the squad as small as it is it is not possible to fulfill that ambition imo.
Last season:
Ederson, Steffen, Carson
Walker, Cancelo, Zinchenko, Stones, Dias, Laporte, Ake
Fernandinho, Rodri, Gundogan, Bernardo, KDB
Sterling, Jesus, Torres, Mahrez, Foden, Grealish
(Palmer as that one youngster semi regularly involved)
That's 21.
I've not included Mendy because he just wasn't part of it at all. Torres I have, despite him going.
This season:
Ederson, Ortega, Carson
Walker, Cancelo, Zinchenko or Cucurella, Stones, Dias, Laporte, Ake
Phillips, Rodri, Gundogan, Bernardo, KDB
Haaland, Alvarez, Mahrez, Foden, Grealish, Palmer
(McAtee as that one youngster semi regularly involved)
That's 21, with Palmer now stepping up, which has been largely been accepted as what's happening, with McAtee to take his academy lad place. Hopefully too no one will leave in January meaning a fuller squad for the run in
That isn't a smaller squad mate. I guess people could argue about Palmer, but that's a quality debate not a sheer numbers one and we'll have to trust Pep and co on that that he's good enough to be one of the actual squad.

Anyone think the sales this summer are preparing us for a massive signing next summer. Bellingham isn’t cheap no matter how the liverpool press say. Dortmund want 130 million for him.With the sales we are doing, puts us in a very good position

Really hope Zinc stays. Absolute warrior of a player. Will always give his all when he comes on to play.
You do know we've brought in Haaland, Alvaraz, Phillips and a keeper. In what way is the squad currently smaller ?Forgetting the lb situation for a minute I think it’s absolutely crazy we are seemingly happy to go into next season with a smaller squad than last year.

I think its the unknown of Alvarez, Palmer and McAtee that makes certain people nervous. For me though, other than the LB slot that hopefully Cucurella fills, i think that squad is as good as anything we've ever had. Also gives players like Palmer and McAtee a genuine chance to play some meaningful minutes.Last season:
Ederson, Steffen, Carson
