It's Quiet - a new dawn

[Easy]

If we don't get Sandro, I wouldn't mind Bertrand at LB. English, 27, pacy, has big game experience (played CL final) and would probably be available for somewhere around 20m.

 

[The Light Was Yellow Sir]

50m for a fullback is ridiculous even though football has gone mad,we need 2,a centre mid,defender and keeper at least,just because we have money we still have a budget to stick to

I really don't think this is part of the 'plan'. Everyone bangs on about the defence but it's not scoring enough that's cost us this season (and last). I don't think the manager we have will ever be looking at winning 1-0, whereas 5-1 and 6-2 will be very much on his radar, just like Pellegrini in 13/14.
We will have conceded more or less the same number of goals this season as then but will be 30 goals short of what we scored. In fact, he's been talking about " buying goals" in the transfer market, whilst allegedly offering Navas, Toure and Clichy another year! Reckon it'll be a fullback, a centre half and maybe a keeper with rest of the money going on attacking players.

Two full backs, a DM, a keeper, a CB, and an attacker. Six players. The buying goals comment just means we will definitely sign an attacker this summer. Two if Aguero goes.

Well if Bravo starts as number 1 next season that season will start with a negative from certain fans on match days

If Bravo starts as number one next season Pep has lost a large amount of belief/ support from majority of fans.
Bravo must be gone, an absolute liability

Track record on buying and getting rid of CB's is a bit worrisome. Can't help thinking that Stones, Ota, Kompany and maybe an EDS might be enough, if we had two decent fullbacks and a DM. Put Bonucci, Vertongan, or a fully fit Kompany into our team this season and we don't see that much difference.
I just don't think we can spend well over £30M, every season, on CB's and not be able to work out that either: the people doing the buying and selling are getting very wrong or, that we need decent players around them to see if they're any use.
You only need to look at Boateng and, to a lesser extent, Savic.

Walker and Sandro. Bonucci/VVD, Ederson/Pickford and Sanchez. I've literally no idea regarding the pivot position.

Sanchez

Heard a rumour he's not three bad that kid

I take it you ran a poll of all the fans to reach that conclusion?
