Yes, signing a LB and CB is a must as well. It hurts me to see Kolarov and LB mentioned in the same sentence but he will probably stay as he has a year left and he's a good back up more so at CB, just hope to never see him at LB vs a good team or team with pacy winger, but for the cups and lower table teams he'll do.

His contract expire in 2020.
With news of extension to Navas and Yaya's contracts, maybe the huge turnover of players forecast is off the mark. I always felt that 4 quality signings was the way to go. ie Four immediate starters in the dodgy positions.
Last night I realized I had forgotten about Ilkay. He is like a new signing.
Goalkeepers Ederson and Bravo
Defenders Stones, VK, Otamendi, Kolarov, Walker, Mendy (or AN other), Navas,
Midfield 3 selected from Gundongan, Silva, Yaya, Dinho, Garcia That should do.
Front 3 from Raheem, Leroy, Kun, KdB (yes I'd play him wide) and Sanchez

You forgot, Jesus, still think we would need a centre back and a pivot as well, six,signings for me.With news of extension to Navas and Yaya's contracts, maybe the huge turnover of players forecast is off the mark.

Spot on, it's good to see some logic on here. A lot of people have their blue tinted specs on when it comes to our youngsters, but it never actually works out as easy as they want. It's usually between the ages of 21-23 and takes several loans before these players start stepping up. All that's required is a bit of patience.
Exactly, I have complete faith in the academy. In the near future, I am confident we'll frequently have some academy lads playing major roles in the first team. We just have to be realistic. Everyone is obsessed with the Barca generation that came from their academy including amazing players like Messi, Iniesta, Busquets, Pique, Xavi the reality is that is a very, very, very rare occurrence.
For clubs challenging for the big trophies, it will be impossible to field a team made up mostly from academy graduates. I am looking at Real's team today, only Carvajal is from the academy I believe. Atletico 3 players, Juve 0, Bayern 2, Chelsea 0, PSG 0, in their starting elevens. We will be lucky to have even 2 players from the academy constantly in the starting 11 in the future.
Our fans put too much pressure on the managers to use the academy products, reality is most are not good enough and a lot will never be.
Too much wine. Well that means Sanchez not quite so crucial. Maybe Bonucci after all.You forgot, Jesus, still think we would need a centre back and a pivot as well, six,signings for me.

Sane is a very good finisher.
i agree his finishing is good......BUT he isn't getting into positions to do it at the moment....He started like a rabbit in headlights..then looked like he was really starting to hit his stride......then he has gone backwards to what he was like at the start. He isn't getting into position to score and has looked really poor in the last few games.
He is young and you expect that with a young player like him but thats why its important to have proven goal scorers as well

I seem to remember this being used to indicate the signing of David Silva. The Cartwright brother's local = The Silver Dollar...maybe we're after Bernardo Silva?
