Werner was on my mind too, however i don't think he'll go anywhere this summer. Well if he has a great WC i could see some big clubs being in for him but he'll stay at Leipzig for another year imo.
Though, what I'd do is look into the likes of Fekir, Thiago, maybe Milinkovic Savic. Fekir hasn't signed for Liverpool yet. He could slot into Iniesta's position with Coutinho as a LW. Same with Savic. The latter is also 1.92 though the main argument for him is that he is pretty technical for that height. Lazio ask 100 million for him though which makes it unlikely. Thiago for Rakitic's place if Bayern asks for a reasonable price. Arthur comes in January and we have a proper mid again.
Well, every forward at United has stagnated under Mourinho. The problem with not getting a good forward during this window means that Suarez goes unchallenged and we’re tactically limited again...
I tend not to get involved in the politics of Barcelona because it’s a messy affair, always has been, but Bartomeu’s appointees don’t seem to have any vision of where the club is heading. How is Eriksen a backup for Griezmann? A midfielder a backup for a forward... You really can’t make this shit up!
You could get Martial, Thiago and probably Lenglet for the money it would take to sign Eriksen and the squad as a whole would be better and deeper.
Regarding Mourinho and attacking talent, you're right. You do know who is our manager though? Ernjose Mouverde. Martial would have the same kind of problems here as at Utd. Either we buy an already established world class forward like Griezmann or we focus on other positions imo.
I previously said that Eriksen and Griezmann, while not playing the same position, could benefit us in other ways. You already think that Coutinho is not suited for the Iniesta role. Am I right? Eriksen then, could play the Iniesta role while Coutinho takes the LW. I mean, that's where Griezmann would hypothetically play, no? Or do you think that he'll play as a number 9? In this case, it makes sense that we would focus on other positions and Eriksen is that kind of player. Not for 190 million Levy asks. That I agree.
As much as I'd like to see Suarez take a back-up role next season, it is not happening. We have to make peace with that. Maybe in next summer we'll look to phase out Suarez. For now he'll start.
