I'll do us both a favor and hit the block button.

Favour.

What happened to these Valverde links @93.20blue

Make it happen!

Clearly this- there seems to be a perception this season that things happen neatly and all at once early in the transfer window, which is pretty much never the case.

There also seems to be a perception that everyone else is doing fine. Look at Liverpool - yes, they've got a couple of midfield players in, but after Keita, Firminho, Oxlade-Chamberlain, and Milner's contracts ended, they clearly wouldn't have wanted the position they're in now, with Henderson gone, Fabinho going, and Thiago apparently wanting out. They needed a refresh, but clearly would have done it over 2-3 seasons, rather than lose all six senior midfield players in one window.

Don’t agree with that as all of Liverpool midfield players were shite, they’ve now brought in absolute quality players, hugely disappointing

Seven out and two in is the point.

We're still here worried about players that *might* leave not being replaced.

We've extended Nathan Ake's contract that as good as a new signing. Keeping Bernardo Silva is a huge bonus as well. (even better if we get him to sign for a couple more years).

My point is those 7 midfielders for Liverpool were dog shit

Shit maybe but it's also a shit ton of experience to lose in 1 window.

Firmino
Fabinho
Milner
Ox Chamberlain
Keita
Henderson

Just like us, their new player also need to adapt Klopp tactics and not all of them is guaranteed to success next season.

They have absolutely ZERO depth in their back 4 which is already shaky to begin with...

Arsenal’s depth is a myth as well. No cover for Saka, no cover for Odegaard and the back line bar Saliba and Timber isn’t all that. Midfield is rather weak, striker depth just Jesus and Nketiah.

There’s still a gap between us and the rest.

People can have their opinions on Fabrizio Romano but does anyone actually truly trust his city sources. He says Doku this Veiga that Pavard this etc etc but there hasn't been a single movement from City's board, maybe its the board and Fabrizio is completely reliable but I prefer Ornstein for his no nonsense approach, and obviously Gaughan and Blackburn are the most reliable but I can't trust Fab's words anymore
