He is the perfect midfielder for a system that largely bypasses the midfield, agreed

In that sense, Rodri and Gundo are not perfect for Pep's system. Though Pep thinks they are for some reason.

Fernandinho was but he's sadly aged and not the player he was.

I see Bayerns midfield and they're miles better than ours.

I know there's no chance City will bring in anyone to replace them though.
 
Anyone who is negative towards Tolmie is a numpty to me.

He's shared very accurate info and not things you can guess on, particularly the interview.

And after watching the full interview I feel like I really have a great idea of how much Messi wanted to leave (as TH told us all along). While the media appear to have glossed over it, he reiterates his desire to go being blocked not once, but twice. While he's goes in on the club/president for not keeping their word and allowing him to enjoy the last year's of his career.

I feel sorry for him. That was the purpose of this... right?

It may be the end of the saga, but it's certainly not put it to bed and leaves a few home truths on the table for Barca to address.

I think they’re both more than capable of playing the 6 in Pep’s system, provided they are surrounded by more energetic and dynamic players.

I don’t think a double pivot of Thiago and Goretzka with Müller in front is an order of magnitude better than Rodri and Bernardo with De Bruyne in the hole.

We have the personnel, barring a central defender and possibly a leftback. We just need to use them correctly
 
So with the players Chelsea have signed, and scousers and rags no doubt continuing to benefit from all VAR decisions, what positions do we need to improve?

I reckon Cancelo can play LB so we don't need another, just Koulibaly at CB and a fast defensive midfielder in my opinion.

The hardest thing to fix is someone to finish off those chances we keep pissing away when we have 20 shots and 80% possession then end up losing the game.

Just my view and I know I'm in the minority but Rodri seems a decent lad but I just think this league is too quick for him. Bernardo of two seasons ago, yes he was amazing. Last season his form fell off a cliff. Meaning he's had one excellent seasons and two very average ones.

That leaves KDB who is immense but it's only him and the reason I'd bring in a top midfielder to play behind him.
 
Its hard not to get drawn into these transfer sagas and it feels like each time is a dissapointment. I'm being greedy but would love to see us go for a big name player (and get them), similar to when we signed yaya, silva and aguero
