Forget about personality, Cherki has Spanish Dave written all over him, 23 RW/10, unless he is a problem what are we thinking about.
Or play Bobb FFS
Personality does matter however....Spannish Dave was the perfect footballer because of his attitude...
Ive no idea about Cherki other than that he has been around a few years, touted as the next big thing but so far hasnt really shown that much to make him a real standout.....very good player dont get me wrong

From what i've seen from Lyon games he is non-existant in defense and is a reluctant presser. Practically manager needs to give him license to roam and cause chaos which i doubt Pep would give him.

been more impressed with the weee Georgian fella when i watch Lyon.
 
Cherki being younger than Wirtz is surprising to see (only by months).

He is still my main attacking player pick, then Wirtz. Cherki would also be way cheaper, and his playmaking is superior imo Wirtz the better goalscorer.

He is definitely a pure 10 though, he could never do any duties as an 8.

Still would need like a Reijnders or whoever as that 8.
 
We’ve not got a lot of wiggle room with HG players needed. I reckon Wharton is probably a shoe in. And a good chance one of Eze/MGW/Dibling come in. Mfuni/Mukasa could be integrated.

Eze for Grealish, likely to battle with Doku.
Wharton for Gundo/Bernie/Kova, whoever goes.
Robinson for LB (he is homegrown I think, hence why picked over Kerkez).
Mfuni is too young, he needs EDS first imo.
Sort out the Goalie mess.
Then Cherki if possible, otherwise why not, promote Mukasa.

Then play with the LB going wide, allowing the LW (Marmoush, Eze or Doku) to invert.

RW stays wide (Savinho, Bobb, Nunes).

At 10 is Foden with Echeverri/Mukasa as backup. Or go big and buy Cherki.

Play a defensive RB to make a back 3 (Akanji, Khusanov, Stones)
 
Just get Cherki, Baena, Theo, Wharton, Reijnders, whoever the RB is and a new goalkeeper and Then we are sorted ! Only like 400M!
 
I could see a £250m net spend mate
Beside Grealish and KDB. I seem to struggle who will move next. It wouldn’t surprise me if none out of Kovacic, Gundogan, Bernardo, Ake and Stones move to run out their contracts

If Ake is back to full fitness he is a definite keep for me.

He also chips in with a few goals.
 
Eze for Grealish, likely to battle with Doku.

Mfuni has already been playing for the EDS. He plays U18 for the FA Youth Cup and U19 for the UYL, but then EDS on a normal weekend. He's also playing two years up for England youth teams.

Might be time to send him on loan to League 1 or Championship for a season - I'm sure Callum Doyle did the same at his age. Will be tough for him to break into our first team until (at least) Ake moves on.

Yeah 100%, I don’t think he’s been all that bad this season. At the dippers when we lost 2-0 he did a great job keeping Salah quiet. Think he has to stay.

McAtee, one of Ederson/Ortega, I could see Nunes moving on. We'll get fees (perhaps small however) for Phillips, Walker, Doyle. I do think there may be a bigger name or two leaving i.e. Bernardo, Kovacic.
