He probably does report back to the others, but he is the one who negotiates for these transfers. He is the one in charge of these transfers. If one transfer is taking too long, move on to another transfer in a different position.
We don't need 1, we need more than that. Buying a new left back is imperative, as is buying either another midfield or forward player.
Things are different now. Pep walked into a team with Silva, De Bruyne, Aguero, Kompany, Fernandinho... now he is left with just De Bruyne, a 35 year old Fernandinho and a 32 year old crocked Aguero that has just come back from an awful knee injury.
Times are very different. The squad needs refreshening.
Thank the lord for that.Dele Ali?
That would be out of the blue.
Just guessing!
KFA me
Speak for your self .I am a KFA Do i like moaning?
For some reason we left the real big signings to the last two weeks. Not sure it was planned or if it is ideal but this is how Txiki rolls this summer.
Also we did the same with outgoing signings which only makes sure that selling fees will be lower and lower as sooner we get to deadline day. We might as well push some out on loan with us paying x % of their salary just to move them out.
What if there is no more big signings incoming?
Then Pep not renewing yet would make sense to be honest in terms of not spending big for his last 12 months and let new manager rebuild from a bigger pool of cash.
But what does it say for expectations for current season?
Are we good enough to overcome our CL failures and bounce back from the 20 points gap behind Pool with Sane, Bravo, Silva leaving and Ake, Torres, Steffen incoming?
An then that Messi saga in August, did that really help our transfer dealings in any way? We have put work into that deal, even CFG shares were about to be offered up, we had to spend days to pre-negotiate commercial deals if he arrives, we were lead to belive it is happening based on some top level sources.
Lets see who comes in within two weeks.
Some still adamant Messi deal is on for this window. I think getting Van dijk has more chance than that but some are adamant.
