Summer Transfers

You think David Luiz would be a better centre back for us than David Alaba?

I think Mendy would be a better CB than Alaba

I’d seriously consider taking a look at Aubameyang. I know he doesn’t tie into our philosophy, but he’d be an amazing Sané replacement on the left, and a world class option for when Aguero isn’t playing/is injured. It would also take pressure off of Jesus.

If we do a straight swap of Sané for Lucas, and get Alaba for a decent price, it could look like this:

In: Aubameyang £50mil, Lucas £0, Alaba £25mil, Tosin back from loan
Out: Sane £0, Angelino £20mil
Net: £55mil

Aubameyang Aguero Sterling
KDB Rodri Bernardo
Alaba Lucas Laporte Walker
Ederson

Foden Jesus Mahrez
Gundogan Fernandinho Zinchenko
Mendy Otamendi Garcia Canelo
Zak Stefan

This is a very strong set of first 11’s, with not an huge increase in spend.

Aubameyang for 50mil? what planet are you on mate.

Laporte also, one of the best left sided CB in the world. Move him to RCB to fit a sick note in. No thanks.

You saying more or less? He might be 31 but he’s one of the best strikers on the planet and could very easily replace Sané on the left.

I’m sure Laporte would be fine on the right.

Mate, what? Have you seen him this season?

My point is Alaba would get butchered in the EPL and he knows it, he will not come

but doesn’t get butchered in the Champions League? I couldn’t disagree anymore personally. Alaba is world class. Never seen a player who can play at such a high level in so many positions. He’s been a stalwart for Bayern this year.

Alaba is a very clever player who has repeatedly said he does not want to play left back, he has had offers from the EPL before and refused them, the Champions league and the German league are very different to ours, ours carries a reputation that puts of many players

but because he refused the league doesn’t mean he’s frightened? Often too
Players at top clubs leave. I’m sure he could have gone to Spain because he’s been linked with Madrid and Barcelona since the end of time. He’s a superb player and we’d be lucky to have someone like him here.

He has been linked to Madrid and Barca but never asked by them,, we are a robust league hence Laporte Alaba is not robust and he knows it

Carvalho made a career out of not being very robust but still did ok. Personally matey, id have him any day of the week alongside Laporte
