Seems a lot of the replies are re Gvardiol and Rodrygo. Personally would not make that swap.

He could play on the flanks aswell and in big games and didn’t put up a fuss when he didn’t play a lot.Not for me. He couldn’t get a game as our 9 before Haaland came and he’s not improved any.
But don’t think we should go back > probably need the next Jesus or Alvarez.
To be fair - Madrid have a lot of players we could use. Overwhelming amount of talent in the middle of the pitch. Would love to lure a Camavinga/Valverde/Tchouameni/Jude here. Could also be Vini or Rodrygo.
But I'm not sure who they'd be after from us?
They have defence issues. A lot of their defenders are injury prone. Gvardiol is probably what he’s on about.
I do think we can be incredibly wasteful at times with our finishing and now we have just sold Alvarez i do think it makes sense to bring someone in for the bench in case we need a goal or to rest Haaland and this makes sense, even if someone coming to the end of their careers and happy to be a squad player
Wout Werghost for funsies
I wonder if one is Griezmann? If it's a one year thing you really can't do much better in terms of cost, positional flexibility, experience, and most importantly functional talent...

True, although we’re pretty stacked out wide.He could play on the flanks aswell and in big games and didn’t put up a fuss when he didn’t play a lot.

It’ll be interesting to see if we spend big on a recognised name or try to find the next Alvarez to either flip for a profit or take over from Haaland if he goes.

That’s not Haaland

Bullshit. We're not spending £145m on anybody from Madrid - unless it's Mbappe, which I doubt. And there's nobody Madrid would want from us in that price range either.
Gvardiol is a better footballer than all but Vini, Jr. at this point...They have defence issues. A lot of their defenders are injury prone. Gvardiol is probably what he’s on about.

Personally think we need someone to give us a different option to Haaland. Different type striker.
