Players who might improve us

Biggest needs are a strong, ball-carrying central midfielder and a versatile forward. A bigger squad overhaul should wait until the summer.

Bruno Guimares and Cunha would be good!
 
You could play them together or individually as a lone striker
Pep wouldn't do that though mate, he rarely plays with 2 out and out strikers and it looks like he'd probably flog Haaland into the ground than change his way of thinking.

When Haaland was smashing them in for fun he couldn't seem to drag him off fast enough, now he's having a moment he leaves him on and considering we have played in the past without any strikers sometimes Pep leaves me a bit perplexed.
 
Heres my rebuild

1) Id sign that guy from Villareal, Alex Baena.
Dude has elite goal creation numbers from LW.

Baena, Doku LW

Bobb, Savio RW

That looks really good to me. The academy also recently is producing some top talent (once again), no reason we cant have some 3rd choice wingers from there.

2) Grealish, Nunes, O Reilly, and Lewis to be molded and play more as the #8 while Gundogan, Kovacic and Bernie leave.

Thats still 4 players for 1 spot, but all 4 could also play elsewhere in a pinch. Even still could probably sell one of them easily.

Also Divine Mukasa from the academy looks a future star, as Grealishs contract runs down id integrate him as an 8/10.

3) Buy Jonathan David to rotate for Haaland and Foden. Can play with a striker or as the striker, and his price looks cheap.

4) Buy a very defensive CDM to rotate with Rodri (Gvardiol inverts from LB), and you can play both (if we have to) by having
1) Rodri partner the CDM as normal, but having a fullback push up (new player).
2) Rodri starts as a CB and pushes into midfield.

This player, id go for Ederson or Baleba, both have shown really good defensive instincts and can easily play with Rodri as well.

Id also use Jacob Wright as a 3rd choice CDM and 3rd choice RB (inverted).

4) Then to finish the rebuild, we would need atleast 3 defenders for now after selling Walker, and moving Lewis to as a backup 8.

Robinson (attacking LB) to play if Rodri partners the CDM, otherwise Gvardiol LB by default to invert.

Or Livramento is my alternative to Robinson as an attacking RB.

I dont care which, both are class, we only need one of them.

Juma Bah AND Ousmane Diomande as a RCB and RB respectively. Honestly this could be most talented defenders, as long as they are fit.

Calum Doyle brought back to be an understudy to Ake (who will need a replacement at some point).

Gvardiol, Robinson LB
Ake, Doyle LCB
Dias, Bah RCB
Akanji, Diomande RB (always becomes part of back 3).

Stones... if we can sell him sure do it, I simply dont think we can, so keep him and make him a back up.

That would be my start to the rebuild, buy 6 players and the 7th is a loanee.

Last 2 things, id use the buyback on Delap (more options up front) and Harwood Bellis (if we sell Stones or even if not who cares, hes a good backup).

Those 9 in total would complete the rebuild.
 
Too old and regularly injured but one of the best right backs there has been in the premier league.
Joined Everton for £60000 16 years ago. Let that price sink in.
Has been on the PL team of the year and Everton player of the year.
Yet never ended up.at a decent team and won fuck all. He's a hot potato defender and wank.
