I'd agree but there are not many players in world football that can give us what Kev has done for a decade. I think we need to build a team that shares those assists rather than try to look for the Holy Grail. We need much more from all over the pitch. Love Jack and Phil but there is no way they will get close to the numbers Kev has given us - Erling doesn't move as much when Kev is not on the team.
Central midfielders, you know players that can tackle. On paper we have loads of midfielders but how many of them can put a tackle in?
I doubt O`Reilly would be very happy with a LB role on the long-term. Based on Peps words, it sounds like Nico wants to play further up the pitch, either as an 8 or a 10. This is Doyle`s 4th loan, 3 of them have been in the Championship and he has played very well. Perfect Ake replacement as he can play both LB and CB
Well if that’s the case next season will be very similar to this,maybe a slight improvement depending on Rodri getting back to full fitness and form,which could be the his time next season.
Well it won't because we have already added 5 players to the squad and seen improvement, so adding another 2 or 3 in summer with Rodri added back in the squad and team will be nothing like this seasons.
A Goalie, RB, CM. I think we are good to go. Would like a stud CB. But we don't need one desperately. We'll have 6 to start the session most likely..
If both Ake and Stones go, then i can see it. Otherwise, sell cheap with a buyback clause.
To be fair he isn't alone.
I have a funny feeling Pep is trying to keep senior players who will be leaving motivated and feel wanted.
If the club is so naive that they don't realize we need a young attacking midfielder this summer, we are in trouble.
It depends on id they believe a mix of Foden, Marmoush, Echeverri and Bobb are more than enough for that role.
If you beleive there won’t be a single transfer this summer then yes. While I don't think there will be as many as some think, I’m pretty sure there will be 3 or 4.posters need to not react to every random twitter story., and use their own common sense to make their guesses.
It will be a big mistake not getting a top RB in the summer, but understand that graphic based on what we've heard recently reference players possibly staying.
There's no way we move on Akanji with his injury record (one proper injury in 3 seasons), experience and versatility.
