You all need to realize players like Leao or Kvarashtelia won't leave unless they have release clauses.Kvaratskhelia or Diaby would be perfect
Kvarashtelia is leading Napoli to a title
He's treated like a god in Napoli ffs
These aren't Brentford or southampton players

Gvardiol coming in should tell you something, We're going to be loosing one or Two senior defenders possibly Laporte and Ake. And no he's not coming to play Left back lol.Interesting to see what happens with Lewis. Why wouldn’t he stay involved in the first team he’s been great.
I’d like to see
RB: Walker/Lewis/Cancelo
LB: Gvardiol/Cancelo/Laporte or Ake
CB: Dias/Stones/Akanji/Gvardiol/Laporte or Ake
So buy a LB who can play CB like Gvardiol
Sell one of Ake or Laporte
Keep 5 options at CB
Could argue we buy a LB who can’t play CB and be fine with 4 CB

All the money right now is the premier league, we are the super league, it would be harder to get a Toney and Brentford are what 8th? Leao will have a year left in the summer if he doesn’t resign, he’s already won the league, if Kvara wins this year they’ve both accomplished the top prize in Italy. Serie A is a great competitive league, but it’s nothing on the prem and these clubs won’t be the favourites for a champions league win, it will be easier to sign Leao out of the two, plus we nearly got him at sporting we must know him well.You all need to realize players like Leao or Kvarashtelia won't leave unless they have release clauses.

Purely guess work butWho do we reckon we are scouting from Porto? City scouts at multiple Porto games this season.
Diogo Costa GK 23
Galeno LM 25
Otavio RM/CM (So similar to Bernardo) 27
Gabriel Veron! LW/RW 20
Think I’ve seen all linked very briefly, expect Galeno which is more a guess, Diogo Costa is great with his feet, Otavio is one of the most similar players to Bernardo about and Gabriel Veron is just a young Brazilian winger, always for market value!
That's been a growing trend over the past few years now. I agree we'll be seeing it more and more.We will see players run their deals down now and leave on frees more than before.
And even though we face mostly 8 or 9 man boxes on a weekly basis we've had more than enough chances in games to counter and we just don't or can't. Pace on top of skill is NEVER a bad thing...There's a difference in wanting pace for balls into the channel/over the top (which Pep doesn't want) and explosive acceleration to get in behind packed defences when playing the short triangles. Jesus, Aguero, Sane & Sterling were good at the latter
Don't fool yourself, he's plenty good!Don't think he is as good as people make out

Pace has to be priority. We were able to mask losing Sane but Sterling as well has really buggered us despite what many think of him as a player. He impacted defensive formations/defender decisions.
