They are good midfield, but non of them are as good as, Rodri, KDB, Foden / Bernardo. Nothing against Grealish myself but we just don’t need to spend big in that position.

Who gives a fuck? No one is invincible, we sure as shit weren't with Kompany in the side.
Ulrika Jonsson certainly ain't invincible.

You do. You said "we might as well be" in response to another post.

You don't understand what "might as well be" means, do you?

As usual, wriggling away from what you posted. I'm surprised you've not posted a youtube video.

I said we might as well be invincible with a 10% loss rate and anyone with a grasp of the English language knows "might as well be" =/= "is".
You being too stupid to realise that doesn't mean anyone is wriggling.

If we only sign the definites then we can kiss goodbye to the league next season.
yes i wouldnt disagree
However I suspect and hope that if we dont for instance get Koulibaly then we will have a plan B
IM also guessing that if we dont get the big one then we wont go for anyone in that department
However a transfer window of Ake, Torres, Alt Nouri Other centre half plus Steffan replacing Bravo and Yan Couto (who looks very promising if not a bit raw) wouldnt be too bad.
As long as we can keep Kun fit for the season we should be ok.
Maybe I'm missing some context but this question came out of left field. I'm not at all happy. If our defensive options for next season are Laporte, Ake, new world class CB, Garica, then I'll be happy.So are you happy to go into next season with our defensive options then?

Not seeing any solid links, particularly for a striker/mid?

Definitely need a L/B

That’s exactly my point. @domalino was arguing we’d have won the league with Laporte and thus it’s not that important to sign a world class defender. I argued we wouldn’t have won the league because we still need to replace Kompany.

But we don't. If Laporte was fit or we had a very good left sided back up (which I believe Aké to be) then we would have won without Kompany. We have dozens and dozens of games worth of proof that Laporte + A.N. Other is good enough to win 9/10 games and the league.
I don't think the club want to go in with just Aké, I don't think we will, but it would have been enough last summer to get us the title this year.

Torres, Ake and Koulibaly we know about. How many more would be your best guess?
Four after Torres, but a slight hope for a very big and surprising fifth.

Played Mrs Mangle in Neighbours and used to look after Kitty in The Sullivans...
In a vacuum, yes, but looking at the reality I don't agree. Liverpool finished on 99 points. We would've needed more than that to win the title, or in other words, replicate or improve upon the best attacking season ever in English football history (City 17/18). With Laporte, we would have probably finished with 90+ points, but not above 99. To bridge that gap, we need more reliable finishers. We missed Sane's 20+ goal+assists this season.But we don't. If Laporte was fit or we had a very good left sided back up (which I believe Aké to be) then we would have won without Kompany. We have dozens and dozens of games worth of proof that Laporte + A.N. Other is good enough to win 9/10 games and the league.
