Zin what 23 years okd
Rodri what 23-24 years old

Are they not what you describe as we need? Young potential

Bring in competition for them, ship mendy out mmmmm not sure that happens, Fern just been extended.
Grealish is exactly what we need and it’ll show

Zin isn't talented enough to ever, ever become a first choice starter at any position - obviously. And he'll obviously never get there.

Rodri is potentially world class - at a metronome role. He's not a destroyer. Asking him to play sole defense in a game calling for a destroyer just hurts us and hurts his reputation.

>> Bring in competition for them
Well, this statement is sort of on course. Bring in youthful prospects that excel at these roles. LB. DM. That's what I've been clamoring for.

>> Grealish is exactly what we need and it’ll show
Grealish seems to be class - and I'd love for him to be in our side.

But, I've stated this central point over and over and over - we have much, much bigger needs at LB and DM - IMO. Up-spend on quality in these positions - forgo Grealish if necessary.

You will reply with a repetitive response following this post - you can't help yourself. In fact, I'm repeating myself here - and in the last few posts.

So, go ahead, post away - get the last word in - should we fail to sign quality players at LB and DM, and should we stumble because of this - well, I'm going to bring this post up.

Should we sign Grealish though and sail on spectacularly - feel free to do the same - hunt this post down and rub it in my face.

I stand firm:
Our biggest need - striker, given that Aguero is leaving
Next - quality at LB and DM.
3rd - some sort of very promising prospect at CB.
Luxury - Grealish.

I’m not the kind of guy you think I am, rub your nose in it, Christ I thought we were playing nicely.

My view LB and DM covered adequately for this year.
Striker and AM for Sergio and what looks like an unhappy Bernie this.

I do agree that the striker should be top of the list, we create and miss far too many chances that would be converted with the right player.

If the reports are true and Pep sees Grealish playing more like Gundo than a winger then we could potentially be moving away from an out and out DM and more towards total control of the midfield. It wouldn't work for every game but it does have a Pep system written all over it.

We have players who can play LB with competence- the issue is other than Cancelo and occasionally Zin, they won't be tearing it up with assists and goal contributions but again, I don't think that's what Pep is really wanting from his fullbacks.

TLDR; striker is literally all we're needing.
 
As far I'm concerned LB is not an issue until Pep goes.

Obviously we should be prepared for that, but that's more of a next summer kind of matter to resolve.
