What Is lacking?

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

When we say "deadwood", I am presuming you're talking about Mendy, Sterling and Jesus?

We paid £50m for Sterling and about £28m. If we sell these two players we're very likely to get £80m for Sterling and around £50m for Jesus. That's left us with a pretty nice profit and both players have definitely contributed to the trophy haul.

Mendy has basically had career ending injuries. There's literally nothing the club can do if the player gets badly injured and can't come back to the player he was. I feel incredibly sorry for him as he could've been one of the best left backs in the world. I'm sure we'd struggle to get a fee for him, but luckily the £50m profit we'd make on Sterling and Jesus would cover that.

I think we need to keep the people who've bought the "deadwood" :)

Is there £80m sloshing around in this market? I’d be surprised. We can’t sell Jesus or we will need two forwards.

£80m for Sterling and £50m for Jesus ??

£50m and £35m tops in our situation

Think we need to get rid of a lot of dead wood. We know who they are as I’m sure Pep does. We should then make two purchases. Grealish and Haaland. The Holy Grail has gone so we should concentrate on winning the premiership. The Holy Grail might just follow with those two buys.

I don't think we have a lot of deadwood.

Think project Kane is the priority but if a buyer can be found for Sterling I think we’ll go in for Grealish as a replacement. Maybe if Juventus can offload a Portuguese has been to the rags there may be chance they will go in for Raz?

What's lacking is what's been lacking for a couple of seasons. A quick mobile DM, a left back and a clinical goalscorer that's different to our other forwards and isn't 11 stone wet through. It was also a centre half but Dias has filled that void. We've done brilliantly covering these positions but they need filling.

What left back are we going to buy though who is a big upgrade on what we have - Zinch and Cancelo in their own ways do pretty good jobs. That kid at Arsenal looks good but he’d cost £65m and there are never any guarantees.

I don't know to be honest. As I said we've covered the positions well but if we can upgrade them we should do. Both left backs have their faults and Cancelo has gone backwards.

He would be the one I would try to sell or use in part exchange. His stock is still quite high but if he carries on like he has played in the last 2 months it won’t be for long.

It's like Sterling and Jesus. If we are going to go for a complete revamp to freshen up our attack we possibly need to shift them on before their stock falls too. The problem is out there who can afford their fee or wages? One or both could be used in part exchange for Kane but would they want to go to Spurs?

You can add Cancelo,Rodri,and Ake (Baffling buy)to that list.
You can lambast me for saying it but those players are a level below what we require.
Dress it up anyway you like but in Cancelo and Rodris case the fact Pep had stopped selecting them as regulars tells you all you need to know.
The figures you quote above are fantasy in the here and now.
