It’s not really sustainable to think that we can buy the most young and promising footballers every summer window.
Last summer it was De Ligt, De Jong and Felix, this year it’s Havertz and Werner, next it’s Mbappe, Haaland and Sancho.
We’d fill up pretty quickly if we bought all of them. Bernardo was one of the best midfielders in Europe when he played for Monaco, and he was our most important player in 18/19. He’s still so good.
Foden is a future star but already an insane footballer, KDB will play at the highest level at least another 4-5 years. We have a sick midfield, just need to sort out the speed in defence a bit. Bring in Aouar or Bennacer to replace Fernandinho next summer, then we’re set.
True not every season, I do think we should have done with Havertz and/or Werner.
Our team just seems stale.
The semi-final loss to Arsenal and the loss to Lyon suggested to me we needed new, hungry, young players in the team.
Ake and Torres was a good start.
Is a 29 year old Koulibaly, who didn't play well last year, a good idea?
If we don't bring in a centre midfielder to help/replace Fernandinho this window it will be a big mistake.
