Only worry I have next season is injuries. We were lucky last season that we didn’t have many serious ones, but with players in the squad that have had massive fitness problems in the past, last season was an anomaly for some. The squads small an injury to a key player in the first eleven could weaken us significantly.
The difference is that there is a very small pool that will improve what we have. Does the club make a similar signing to the rags with Mount, £60m for a player who wouldn't be much different to Phillips situation. Giving McAtee/ Bobb & Palmer (if he doesn't go out on a season loan) a real chance will show where we are with the academy lads.That's exactly the vibe I'm getting. Feels like we're being complacent.
Are we signing Martinez instead of GvardiolHey, Daddy, I want an Oompa Loompa! I want you to get me an Oompa Loompa right away!

I've also said this and the club needs to be aware. Luckily we do have a lot of versatile and intelligent playersOnly worry I have next season is injuries.

I hate this type of arguments. No one wants to have two first teams. But if you think there is no problem with the squad we have right now, I don't know what to tell you. I assure Pep is not satisfied with the size of the squad now.Isn’t that the same for any squad? I don’t think having basically two first teams works. Pep prefers a smaller squad and I think it makes more sense. You can’t keep all the players happy with a large squad - our best players start all the biggest games
Do you want the club to pay 50 to 60 million for a player to sit on the bench hoping for an injury, that sounds like Phillips situation. Other than long term injuries we can more than cope. That's forgeting that Haaland rarely played 90 minutes after being injury prone at DortmundI hate this type of arguments. No one wants to have two first teams. But if you think there is no problem with the squad we have right now, I don't know what to tell you. I assure Pep is not satisfied with the size of the squad now.
Right now, we have 13 players who can fight for a starting position. After those 13 players the quality drops significantly. If someone fron the future tells me that none of those 13 will get injured in the season, then sure our squad is good, but that is very unlikely.
