It's Quiet 17 - Glory Thread

I think its clear we need a right back to play when Walker aint available......Canello is decent but he is actually better on the left hand side and movig him over to the right when walker cant play unsettles the balance of the team and it makes cancello less effective going forward

Walker is 32...he is going to start picking up injuries and when a player like walker who is built for pace starts to get older one or two injuries can finish them off quite quickly.....

A right back is essential along with a forward

the other position is a DM....Ferna is finished and is leaving...Rdori cant play every match and we know that Gundo can only play part of the role of the 6...he is shocking at the defensive side of things from there

Haaland plus a right back and a DM
 
Our recruitment needs to be better.

The other team have been brilliant unfortunately. jota and diaz hit the ground running.

we spunk £100m on a position we didn't need and need to wait a year to see if he's any good.

My fear is we go all in on Haaland and neglect other areas of the team again.

We need a top player to replace Fern. We need to replace Sane/Torres and a left back.

Half of the refreshment is letting players go. It is time for Sterling to leave but not just him

Need another 17/18 Window. Last summer was a MASSIVE failure

The thing our recruitment needs is to stop being afraid of doing things in January when it’s OBVIOUS they are needed. Liverpool brought one player in January that single-handedly might win them the quadruple.
 
Easy enough to beg after more goal scorers. We just conceded 6 goals over two legs, squad clearly can’t cope without walker and to a lesser extent stones. Likely the same story with Rodri.

Another fullback, CDM as well as a striker are an absolute minimum in summer if we want any shot at the CL. Time to stop fucking about at left back in particular.
 
Need a pacy right back, ruthless centre forward, decent defensive midfielder

time for sterling to go

Yes we do need to let a few go...who is arguable but there are some who do need to go....

For me it would be Mahrez as I think we could still get something for him even at his age and potentially Sterling (esp if he wants to go) - thought i do think he still has a place in this team and can still improve and something to add....

For me Grealish is the elephant in the room...the club wont countenance selling him after one season but he just desnt fit in at present (though this could change next season - but if he is still not showing it at the end of next seasona big question needs to be asked on him..he will be 27/28 by that point -

Id hope that Jesus stays...he is adaptable enough and adds so much to our game.

There is the question of how much KDB has got left as well.....another season or two at peak potentially?

Think Gundo will leave as well in the next 12-18 months as he is gettting on...but that wil just be part of the natural need to refresh whereas the striker, fullback positions are essential now

ID stick with cancello at left back as i actually think he plays better there than his "natural postion" ...for me its cover and eventual replacement for walker that we need
 
Here’s a stat for you, this will be the first season in peps career that a pep side have not been the best attack in the division he is managing in. As it stands
 
Have to say, and I’m probably in the minority on this, but I am not a fan of leaving another hole in the squad because we’re potentially waiting a season for Bellingham. Can we for once have a season where all the needs in the squad are met and we don’t have to meet here again to discuss more failures in recruitment? It may sound like short-term panic but I see many other options that give us as much as he would. Anyway, my two cents

Thing is (and I agree with you) dont Dortmund have a pattern of only selling one of their big players every transfer window....last season Sancho, this season Haaland - I cannt see them letting both go in one window...guess it also depends on where Bellingham is in his contract but id guess not that close that he could force the issue
 
Sterling
Gundogan
Fernandinho
Laporte
Mahrez (assuming he doesn't sign a new deal)
Jesus

All of them need to go this summer, We desperately need multiple midfielders, the Striker seems to have already been taken care of, Palmer will emerge and Alvarez can take a spot at the wing, Wouldn't mind another Center back though, and maybe a left back.

From an outsider perspective you need a top class LB, CM and Striker. I think you also need to add pace to the team with someone who is very direct.

Been saying this for a long time that we also need a proper winger in this team, specially to that left side, not use midfielders there.
