Players who might improve us

6 forwards for 5 positions and Haaland as the fastest striker in the league is nonsense, he is quick once he gets going, but i think you are missing my point, or more likely i am not making it properly when we had a young Sterling, Sane and Aguero in his pomp we had the fastest attack in the league, we won the space, every loose ball, every poor pass improved, with no pace opponents can play the high back line and the high press, liverpool Palace Southampton and Tottenham all used our lack of a counter last season.

No actually Haaland is the fastest forward in the Prem and combined with his clinical finishing ability he is the most lethal player in all of Europe on the counter and against a high line, Mbappe included. Some need time to realize this, but you will soon enough.

Do those 3 players make the whole attacking squad?, Aguero, Torres, Sterling and Jesus have left, we have the smallest squad depth in the league and one of the slowest up front.,

Apart from disagreeing we have the slowest squads up front, I would point out that Pep has done rather well with the smallest squad depth in the PL over the last 5 years. A winning formula well and truly proven.

It’s weird but I can’t imagine the plan was to be about £70m in credit this summer? Personally I’d love us to get Lodi and paqueta for £85-90m and have signed the players we have got and spent around £20m net?

Lodi and Paqueta are only going for there RC which will be jsut over £100m for the pair.
 
I'd go for Moussa Diaby and/or Christopher Nkunku in like 2 years if there progression continues.

We need to consider who to replace Mahrez, KdB, Gundogan and Walker for the future.

It can't be fully like for like with academy players, they can be used for depth and to get minutes, but we need senior signings to replace this immense quality.

These 2 I like because we tend to do well with Bundesliga signings and they are very flexible positionally, they can play inside or outside. Combined with Foden and Grealish perhaps able to do the same, this gives us a very flexible 4 attackers.

Cancelo is 6' although the new signing is only 5''7". Scratch that Wilson-Esbrand is 5'7" too but we are covered for this season.

I didn't mean height, but it is interesting that we have two 5ft7 left backs. I'm actually 5'7" as it goes, maybe I'll go for a trial ;)

But in terms of depth, I'm expecting Cancelo mostly playing on the right. Are we gonna see a lot of Wilson-Esbrand and Gomes, or is Cancelo gonna play on the left leaving rb just as short for cover?
