Gomez already has one foot out the door. He wants to leave.Let Walker stones and Gomez go bring in branthwaite and Kimmich. That’s defense sorted and cover for midfield. Can see Nunez becoming the new Phillips but he’ll give us grief, he went on strike at his previous club. If KDB goes we have Phil so not the end of the world but I would say we should go for Musiala and use Walker, Stones and Cancelo as part of the deal. No idea on a replacement for Alverez
Unfortunately the circus around Southgate and the England squad because of their performances means he probably wants to protect Wharton by keeping him away what could potentially come his way if he doesn't perform. It's fair enough to manage him that way, much better for younger players to come into a positive environment where people won't jump on every mistake. But Wharton has that rare skillset in terms of being able to thread the ball from defence to attack, which we've really lacked.
Bruno is the polished article, but comes at a cost obviously. Wharton would need some time to further develop, but who knows what he could become. His improvement from Blackburn to Palace has been staggering and I think he had a 100% pass completion rate when he made his debut for England - and he wasn't just passing backwards!
Bayern Munich are set to complete the signing of Fulham midfielder Joao Palhinha in a deal worth £42.3m, plus £4.2m in add-ons.
Maybe good news re Phillips as a possible replacement.
Walker stones and Cancelo offset against the cost of MusialaGomez already has one foot out the door. He wants to leave.
Real Sociedad have shown interest recently.
Fulham & Everton have interest in Phillips as I reported weeks ago.Palhinha to Munich -> Phillips to Fulham -> Kimmich to us.
A lovely merry-go-round!
