Summer Transfers
- Thread starter salfordbluetrue
- Start date
Right so, last night was dreadful. Let's not recap. Transfers.
Sack off this godawful defence par Walker, Laporte and Garcia. Maybe Cancelo.
CB - Sign Koulibaly. I genuinely do not care how much. Then assess again in January if Dinho/Garcia/Tosin as backup aint cutting it
LB - Really do not care who it is as long as the starter next season isn't called Benjamin Mendy, Oleks Zinchenko or Angelino.
RB - Either keep Cancelo a year or two until that Couto lad is good enough or bring someone experienced in until so.
DM - I'm fine with Rodri, Gundogan? Off to Serie A mate. Thanks but goodbye. Get Camavinga. Young, looks incredible, understudy.
CM - KDB, Foden, Bernardo and Aouar. Do it.
LW - Sancho and tell Sane to get Bayern to pay up.
ST - Get Havertz. Can't be arsed with the shitshow we saw last night - someone like Havertz would be perfect up there.
Massive window yes, lots of money yes, but its what Liverpool did with VVD, Alisson etc. It's what we did in 2017. Do it again. Win the lot next season.

Just a heads up, if we sell a lot of players and sign a bunch of new ones, the squad would be temporarily unsettled (as in how they play, not morale wise) adjusting to new players and those new players would need time to settle. If you're willing to look past next season then it's fine but wholesale changes won't bring in immediate results.

Maximum of 2 players according to Pep !
@Ezzy I thought you expect 4 new additions to the 1st team ?

I don't expect anything to be unsettled by bringing in a world class CB and a winger/striker to replace Sane. We are currently playing a CM at CB because Pep doesn't like two of the CB's we have and Sane hasnt been around for 12mths.Just a heads up, if we sell a lot of players and sign a bunch of new ones, the squad would be temporarily unsettled (as in how they play, not morale wise) adjusting to new players and those new players would need time to settle.

That's 2 or 3 transfers though. That's not what I was talking about at all.I don't expect anything to be unsettled by bringing in a world class CB and a winger/striker to replace Sane.

Although I do agree with your point anyhow.

The core of the squad that will remain(14 outfield players) Is a very elite core, and will be our first choices for the Starting XI.
so we won't be able to use that excuse.
It's only after after Matchweek 2, when our annual Murphy's Law starts up again, that some of the new addition would be expected to contribute as a starter right away.

The club are going to have to realise if they want to stay in the races and not play catch up at some point then there is need for an overhaul - it happens at all clubs when abolulte legends of the game who have won us title after title start to age - we have lost Zabba, yaya and Kompany - we will lose David Silva this year, and in the next 12 months Aguero and Ferna
Now we all hope that Foden can take Silvas place and it looks like he will - he deserves the cahne to and so far he is giving everyone reason to believe that he can fill that gap - but David Silvas ability to conduct a game has come with years of expereince and that is the one thing that Foden naturally lacks and we will miss
Kompany - it was always going to be a huge ask to replace him not just on the pitch but off it - we havent done it and we need to and it must be priority number one.
Ferna is another huge loss when it happens - i still believe he is the best defensive midfielder at the club and should be being played there and should be played their next year if we can sort the centre half out. Rodri is decent enough but he doesnt have that mobility and Gundongan is a waste of space for me
the biggest is yet to come - how do you replace Aguero - we will get another 12 months out of him and i dont think age will knock him too much -he has already adapted his game and 12 months more and he will bang in another 20 + for us - BUT we must be planning to replace him now. As good as Jesus is we do need another goal scorer - Sterling isnt a natural finisher as good as he is and though Foden adds goals players like Kun win you titles (literally at times!) -Jesus doesnt have that killer instinct - maybe its somethign he can develop but you would have hoped that he would have it now- he doesnt seem to have improved since he came here
On top of that you ahve the poor buys that are letting us down: Mendy, Cancello being two of them. Surely we can sell Cancello on and get some decent money back and even just selling Mendy at a loss and adding some money into a pot to then go out and get someone would be better than having him still. He fucks up too regualrly and for a defender he is useless - anyone who watches the reserves/under 23's - surely there has got to be some one that can come in and do a job at left back!!!??

there is no way we can go into a season with a core squad of 14 players backed up by kids - one or two injuries (which we WILL get) and we would be in big trouble
