Do you want to reply next time instead of just posting a clear response but not having the balls to tag me?

I didn't say I wanted to sign him, just that he is a good footballer, has experience as a DM and has versatility that Pep likes a lot whilst also being available on a free transfer.

As to the bad attitude, all he seems to want is 77 grand a week, which Schalke are unwilling to pay, so he decided to leave. I don't necessarily think that makes him a bad egg since they are always losing players on free transfers - Kolasinac and Goretzka in the last 12 months to name but two. Sounds to me like they are a bit of an Arsenal/Spurs and don't play their stars what they are worth.

That's also reportedly about what we offered Jorginho so its not like we couldn't afford to pay it either. As I said though, I am not suggesting we sign him, was merely trying to suggest a player we might have had a look at one way or another.
 
I find it fascinating that since Jorginho and his agent fucked us over we’ve shut up shop. I think the squad is excellent and should retain the title but have always seen Pep as a perfectionist who’s never completely happy and who always wants to move forward. Obviously Pep is ‘so happy’ (for once) and maybe we are keeping our powder dry until next summer when we will need to replace Sergio.

It's naive as fuck to me to expect us to be able to cope without signing a new CM. We've post Yaya and Silva and Fernandinho are 33. Foden clearly isn't ready which you can judge by the fact he didn't play once the title was wrapped up.

I think we're taking a massive risk, don't forget we ran KDB and Fernandinho into the ground last season which was clearly a problem when we had that hectic week v Liverpool and United.

Unless Pep has a master plan to compete/rotate with Fernandinho, I believe we’re 1 player short...
 
Based on absolutely nothing at all, I don’t think Pep will be happy if we don’t sign another midfielder before the window closes.

Unless Stones, Zinchenko, Danilo and Delph will be deployed more in midfield, our options at DM seem rather limited to me.
