Players who might improve us

I didn’t think we needed that many more pieces but when you factor in how many players collage we might have to go big again.

I hope we stick to an identity.

I know we don’t play the same system longer than a season but hopefully we get quality players with high levels of skill.

I think the window would be a failure if

The midfield isn’t addressed, seriously we still haven’t replaced Gundo let alone Bernardo and what’s going on with Rodri is his best behind him ? What’s the succession plan ?

A back up RB because Nunes is the system he can overlap and form part of the back 3. Him playing so many is not good for anyone.

When you factor in the amount of games we will play next season esp if we get to the QF in the UCL and the title race goes down to the wire we’re gonna need a big squad.

I’m not sure if we should sell a lot of players, I think players like Kovatic and Ake can be very useful…

Players I like:
A forward that plays on both wings that is very comfortable on the touchline but is a very good decision maker. Because when Doku eventually gets injured we struggle like crazy. Preferably someone technically gifted. I think we need 1 or 2 more players like Cherki and Ait Nouri

A classic midfield with bags of technical quality and flexibility. A seasoned player who’s elite tempo setting and passing and 2nd workhorse with substantial potential to be something more

The next best u23 RB that would be Nunes understudy. All they have to do is learn and not be weak.

Hopefully have a bench we can rely on. With players the manager acc likes

I’m praying we see the light and keep Trafford because I miss being able to watch a Pep team be able to play out from the back. How defeated teams would be when they would try press us. I need that. More than any signing.

Diomande, Yildiz, Barcola, Doue, Kvara etc

Ruiz, Anderson, MGW

Reid
 
Malo Gusto (Chavs) kept Doku quiet.
Disagree, he was put in prison. He had 4 guys on him. Palmer had the most defensive game of his life, not to mention Reece James in midfield meant he had to defenders on him at all times with help ! Nobody is getting out of that. Gusto is alright but he’s not someone that’s gonna take you to the next level, like PSG or Bayern
 
Going back to the start of this thread we had ....

Jonjo Shelvey
Jamaal Lascelles
Matt Phillips
Emre Can
Danny Drinkwater
Danny Ings
Yannick Bolasie
Ryan Mason...

Just to name a few.

Thank fuck fans aren't making the decisions at the Club!!
Danny Ings lmao prime covid times, definition of a club crying out for a striker, all you’d hear is “he could do a job”
 
150 + mil on midfield signings (Phillips, Nunes, Reinjders, Nico G that don’t even play instead of getting Bruno G for 100 mil when he was available.
This is where I'm at atm

There is value to be had in the market (Cherki, Khusanov, Guehi, Donnaruma etc.) and you cant spend top rate prices everytime, but atm CM recruitment seems like lots of missed opportunities

Bruno G and Rice were available for £100mil and both would've been amazing additions to the squad

Nico Anderson might not be there level but he might be, hes going to cost a premium but we can afford it, we havent been ruthless and bought a genuine ready made star really since Haaland (again not trying to say Anderson is Haaland but he's arguably the outstanding young CM in the league if not Europe atm)

Lets get it done, Arsenal had a net spend of over £200mil and they're gonna win the league

Anderson possibly fits the profile of a city player more than Rice. And crucially, he wants to come!

Could make a decent relegation-escaping team out of the names of the first 100 posts!

Sit down in a dark room for a while and reconsider what you have just said.
 
He’s on one of those ridiculously long contracts at Chelsea. He needed two others to help him squeeze Doku but looked muchless comfortable once the game opened up and it was on-on-one. He’s now had 8 games against us and his defence hasn’t kept one clean sheet. Not all his doing, granted, but he never strikes me as someone who would improve on what we have.
Agreed. Once Cherki came on he had less help and wasn't nearly as effective...
 
If Enzo is coming, I can see him trying to get his boy Enzo Fernandes with him. Chelsea need a big sale + they've already bought another midfielder in Valentin Barco (Could be his replacement).

I can see Rodri joining Bernardo out the door to Real Madrid, with Pep leaving. Also rumours of Nico Gonzales to De Zerbi's Spurs. Will be very light in midfield.

do they need a sell ?

that can sell parking or stadium to themselves if needed

Players collage ?
 
Midfield ,right back and right winger are positions that need improvement or and extra body. Midfield is the most important one ,but i dont thnik playing 2 donkeys upfront together ,who are technically poor like Semenyo and Haaland is the way forward. Haaland needs technical players around him ,who can find him or make him have more space to roam around.
 
Any CM that doesn’t turn 100 times and plays progressive passes. Need 2 at least
