We need to use our buy back on Douglas Luiz. The lad shines in a crap team. He could come on leaps and bounds under pep and learning from ferna and Rodri. He could save us an absolute fortune. Don't get me wrong camavinga is the dream but we need at least
1 x cb koulibaly only easy, logical answer
1 x dm Luiz cheap, more mobile than rodri
1 x lw God only knows there seems to be a huge lack of talent. Mbappe (too expensive) sancho (does pep want him) after that several others that are injury prone, too slow, no end product.
1 x striker as above. Complete lack of goal scorers around. Werner would of worked for me to cover lw and striker. There's haaland will he come here, is his all round game good enough, too expensive? Isaak Young, not tested much, all round game? Maybe look around the brazilian/argentine leagues for a gem.
1 x lb another department we struggle in all the time. Digne, sessagnon, telles?
Striker we can hold off on for a season and maybe even the dm but luiz will get snapped up if villa get relegated. Personally I think he has bags of potential.
I'd sell stones, nico, zinchenko, gundo, sane, Roberts, Harrison, aleix garcia, Angelino, etc to fund purchases.
Also bring tosin back (loan thb out) and see where he is at we can always loan him back out at Xmas cos he's starting to look way above average now. He's captained all age groups at city and deserves his chance.
