Barcola at PSG should be an option. He’s quick, technical and can score. For some reason PSG bought Kvaratshkelia which means only one of him and Barcola can play in their natural positionWe desperatly need a winger than can actually score as well.

They interchange their positions during the whole game. They are not stuck at one position unlike us.Barcola at PSG should be an option. He’s quick, technical and can score. For some reason PSG bought Kvaratshkelia which means only one of him and Barcola can play in their natural position
Agreed.my concern is about the team falling into a prolonged slump, similar to what some clubs (like United in recent years) have experienced, where a difficult period stretches on and becomes harder to escape. This is a valid concern, as prolonged struggles can lead to a loss of confidence, morale, and even identity within the team.we need to be very aggressive in the transfer market in the summer to address the situation and act based on reason rather than sentimentality .

I like the cut of that panel but Ederson, Ake, Akanji Stones Nunes Bernardo KDB McAtee Kovacic Gundogan Philipps Walker is more than a full team of players you'd have to find new homes for.Ideally, this would be our team by this time next year in my opinion
Keepers: Costa/Chevalier, Ortega
Defence: Khusanov, Dias, Lewis, Josko, Reis, Bah, Huijsen, Aina, Simpson-Pusey.
Midfield: Rodri, Nico G, Nico O’R, Echeverri, Bruno G, Wirtz/Cherki, Phil.
Attack: Erling, Marmoush, Delap, Savinho, Doku, Grealish, Bobb.
This is all in a perfect world, very unlikely to happen.
Yeah, that was kind of all in an ideal worldI like the cut of that panel but Ederson, Ake, Akanji Stones Nunes Bernardo KDB McAtee Kovacic Gundogan Philipps Walker is more than a full team of players you'd have to find new homes for.
19 foreign with Echeverri as well now. Think we’ll see a lot less in than people expect.Looking at the makeup of the squad now , we have 18 foreign players of which Reis wasn’t registered for the champions league
Assuming he is for next season , we would need to loose at least 1 player from this group , with the favourites being De Bruyne and Ederson
I think both will leave , which gives us 1 spare foreign spot - it looks like this will be taken by Cambiaso
This would then mean Walker would be departing in the summer with Cambiaso able to cover off left and right back but also able to invert if needed
I think the only other player to leave would be Grealish , problem is he is homegrown , association trained
If none of the other players leave we could only replace De Bruyne, Grealish and Ederson with homegrown players
The only way to find any flexibility on this is to sell some of the foreign lads
Will be very interesting to see if we do that this summer , it’s totally against our usual MO of allowing players to complete their contracts unless they are causing issues in the squad
Who has the final say , Viana or Pep - could it be a cause of friction going into next season?
I reckon and have for a while it will be a keeper, a full back probably Cambiaso, a midfielder probably Wharton. That could be it, and an out side chance of an AM, depending on who leaves to make room.19 foreign with Echeverri as well now. Think we’ll see a lot less in than people expect.
Another young winger to add to their collection, really who cares anymore.Chavs started buying early.

Don't think we are looking, or have room for a winger.I imagine if Viana would know all about him so our monies werent deemed necessary on him if hes meant to be as highly rated as talked about,
Think we raise more money than those costs, in sales alone, plus another 300milI reckon and have for a while it will be a keeper, a full back probably Cambiaso, a midfielder probably Wharton. That could be it, and an out side chance of an AM, depending on who leaves to make room.
Nothing to do with costs, it's squad places, and players under contract.Think we raise more money than those costs, in sales alone, plus another 300mil
