torres centrally is an intersting option....Buy Grealish, sell Sterling, then unleash Torres in a central role.
Yea me too. Felt that's where the final was lost Saturday. We have some great technical footballers, but Chelsea's pace and athleticism won them that game. An injection of pace in this team is neededMight just be alone on this but good god we miss pace in this team. Chelsea aren't special, but they make it work because of extra ordinary pace up front. I miss having Sané, him and Sterling hugging the touchline both flanks while El Mago and KDB control the tempo.
I would love for us to get a winger
We wouldn't really if he leaves it will be quietly agreed withour acrimony.IF Kane can get out of Tottenham? I think we’d know about that by now?
Bastoni just signed extensionGet Laporte to Atlético for Felix
Buy Koundé or Bastoni
I think Torres will feature a lot more next season. This season he has been inconsistent, but hopefully he will be more settled next year and I am confident he will prove to be a great signing.torres centrally is an intersting option....
Pep has already alluded to what a great finisher he is.....way above sterling and Jesus...He has the pace to play on the shoulder of the last man and also has the movement int he box (across the front post etc).......
What did we payfor Laporte..?Very hard to move anyone on with out some heft losses. While anyone who we target to buy we will be charged heavily for them.
If sterling had played about same last 4 seasons as he had with us in terms of numbers and would be paying for Spurs or Arsenal and we would be in for him after not one of his best season they would easily ask 100m for him. We wont be getting 50m for him imo.
Laporte may want to join Barca or Real who seemingly are doing free agents for a financial reason. (Alaba, Wijnaldum, Eric Garcia Aguero) . How much of the 60m spent oon him can be recouped? 30-40m maybe?
And then he can become a rock at Real defence for next 6-7 years for such a cut price deal.
Jesus was not an expensive buy but surely he would worth 50-60m in current market. and imo if we lose him we have to replace him not just Aguero.
Harry Kane alone is not enough imo if Kun+Jesus leaves. And you not gonna get someone better than Jesus to be happy to rot on bench behind Kane.
I generally do not trust Txiki to get good fees when it comes to selling unwanted players and this summer could be another case for it when it comes to selling players we actually might would like to keep but they looking for new adventure/more playing time or had enough of Pep etc.
I want to see Txiki charge someone 20m for Mendy thats still a big loss to the 50m we wasted on him, but honestly we are lucky to get 5m for Mendy and that is with us paying his salary probably still for next few years.
Think we'd want at leat £75 80mill for Sterling. Think of the 2 Jesus more likely to go if anyone, guess we'd take about £60 mill plus add ons for him.What did we payfor Laporte..?
If Madrid want him as reported then we could make some profit on him as Id expect him to go for anywhere between 65-80m
Likewise if sterling wen t I reckon we woud get more than the 50m+ we paid for him
Mendy - yes we will lose on him but no one could have forseen the injuries and appalling form
