A new keeper is the most important position,
Agreed, in that Yaya's skills set is a more rare one to me; I can't honestly recall easily many other players who have all is attributes in his prime. All round maybe its best to sell players whilst they are still around their peak, just before they start to decline, and whilst you can still get max dollar for them. That could be the thinking with Sergio - I think it would be had to argue, for any player, that if you'd had them at your club between the ages of say, 24 - 29, you haven't had their best years. An absolute club legend, always will be.
How do you think Donnarumma would adapt to playing it out of the back?
It's a priority just like other positions,we will not be challenging for the league if bravo is in goal next season,he may have been a good keeper but as I posted earlier it's passed him by now..I agree we need a quality keeper, but it's far from the most important position to fill this summer.
Our lack of good fullbacks contributes to both a defensive black hole and a breakdown in our offensive game. A reliable option next to John Stones seems prudent, though I love Vinnie we can't gamble on his fitness for a full season. A defensive midfielder, ala Yaya, and a long-term replacement for Silva all seem like they should be prioritized too.

its interesting that people are still ignoring the glaring misses from other players...KDB for instance against Chelski......Jesus vs boro yesterday......yet every miss Kun has is used a s a yard stick to beat him with.....
I agree with you on GJ...i think he is a huge star in the making so much that hanging onto him could prove a problem in the future...one of the big two will come knocking at some point (Barca. Madrid) - but thats another story.
Why supplement GJ with Sanchez when we already have Kun (who is more proven) and who scores more?......team play....well Kun has stepped up hugely.....and if its because Kun wont get the games he wants are you telling me Sanchez is going to come here and sit on the bench and be happy?
And like you say....I don't think we will get Mbappe either...he will either stay put or at some point get his move to madrid....he has Real madrid written all over him that lad and I do wonder if he fits into our/Peps style of play....happy to be wrong on that as I aint seen that much of him.
LolYeah, you'd have thought Pep would have learnt by now.
Imagine being left to watch Messi, Iniesta and Xavi prance around the pitch instead.
Barcelona fans are still fuming I expect.
Who's ignoring them. I've commented on both but other players missing things isn't key to discussing whether there is a good case for selling Sergio's registration this summer. Neither KDB or Jesus has peaked yet - well I hope they haven't - but Sergio might have and even if he hasn't, he probably is not far off having done so. That makes for a very situation and discussion.
If KDB does not make sufficient progress in the next 12 months, we might well be discussing whether we should sell him then.
