It's Quiet thread 14 - 'do one' edition

[argyle]

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.

Why I think we should have gone for Werner and Havertz. They look really good.

I fully agree we need a fast defensive midfielder, however I think Pep is happy with Gundogan and Rodri; for some reason.

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, similar to when we signed yaya, silva and aguero

Think KK is a big player maybe Bale

At LB mind.

Pep won't be pleased with the passing accuracy. ;)

Appreciation and respect to TH - it's been an emotional roller-coaster, mate!

Pep has a very strict view of how the 6 role should be played. It’s the way he played it himself, the way Busquets played it, the way Xabi Alonso played it. It’s why he signed Rodri and tried to sign Jorginho when most people wanted a Fernandinho clone

It’s a credit to Fernandinho that he was so good that Pep had to relent and play him there. But he doesn’t seem interested in finding a like-for-like replacement

well, I'm sure he must love not winning the title then.

Koulabily & Aoure is ok for me

If we are lucky CF please

He’s had three seasons in his whole top-flight managerial career where he hasn’t won the title

Havertz is an attacking mid and not someone we need. We have De Bruyne, Foden and Bernardo in this position.

Striker wise we are set. Agüero still has a year or two at the very top and Jesus is getting better every season. We should be lucky we have a striker as good as him as a secondary man. He’d start for most european teams.

I’d say a box-to-box Aouar to speed things up in the middle, and Koulibaly.
A couple of weeks ago I’d say leftback, but I’d be happy playing Mendy-Aké there. This upcoming season is probably make or break for Mendy at this club. He need to get back to his Monaco form and fast. That’s the guy we bought.
