I agree, we haven't been letting replacing players when they go and have a aging squad especially in midfield. Combine this with the players that we will need to replace that leave this year means we will need a big influx in the summer.

Doubt we’ll bring in more than 5 myself ,if that. Centre back, Left back, a midfielder, then either another 2nd midfielder or a wide player maybe both but not sure . So 4 or 5 think that will be it.I think we actually need 6-8 players.
Cancelo (definitely off)
Gundo (maybe off)
Gomez (maybe off)
Bernardo (maybe off)
Laporte (maybe off)
Philips (maybe off)
Sterling (not replaced last year)
KDB And Walker (age & injury decline)
All need replacing in some form or another soon, if not this window then the next.
Don't for one second think that papering over the cracks with 2 players will just fix the issue completely.
Sure we can replace some from within but it's absolutely bonkers to think we only need 2 players with already the smallest squad in the PL.
i dont think he will be going anywhere personally. I think they are trying to make mischief. if he was planning on going signing a new contract which we just usually extend current one by a year when theyve recently signed isnt going to make a huge difference other than getting him a higher salary.Really hope we don't lose Alvarez. He is such a talent and always impresses when he plays.

There’s not a chance we will bring in 8 players.. we aren’t Chelsea and aren’t known for that.
I don’t think it’s bonkers at all. Our squad is more than good enough. Walkers replacement is Lewis and there’s zero chance of Kevin being replaced
8 players I think would damage squad harmony and mean a season of bedding them into the side. I think 4 signings is more than enough for a side who could win 3 trophies

Alvarez can do that job and score goals at the same time.If Bellingham doesn't come off I'd love us to go for felix play him just off Haaland and drop kdb deeper alongside rodri
It is what he is made for.Alvarez can do that job and score goals at the same time.

2 CM's, LB and LW will prob do it. I expect one of the players to prob be proficient on two of those roles knowing the kind we target. (Current rumour DiMarco to play both LB & LW etc). id put money on 4. (would love another LB in there though)There’s not a chance we will bring in 8 players.. we aren’t Chelsea and aren’t known for that.

He could be a brilliant wing back, don't think he's ever played it though.Technically, Tront is excellent. But hes never a right back as long as hes got a hole in his arse.
seems a player that doesnt really suit any position. Maybe pirlo role but hes not pirlo
