We don't even need to spend a lot.
Get a good starting LCB and fullback backups that Flick likes.
No 100m+ striker in the market anyway. Get someone competent enough. Flick will guarantee he will get 15+ goals.
80-100m this summer would solve a lot of our problems.
Senesi + Schlotterbeck, around 40m, gives us atleast 5 years of quality depth in CB/LCB. Ideal for FlickBall.
Heck, we can go Senesi + Konate for free. Gives us good height and speed
Get Cancelo in a loan or Free agent + a Fullback like Vanderson/Ratiu/Grimaldo or whoever Flick likes for 15-20m. Our fullbacks are dire, and we desperately need competition.
Heck, if we dont want to pay. Get Cancelo + Mykolenko for free. Atleast Mykolenko will be better than Martin. Cancelo can play both sides.
There arent any good options at the ST position. At most we can do is go cheap and hope they fit well and score because of FlickBall. Go for taller players upfront is atleast giving us some edge, unlike going for short players like Ferran, Alvarez.
I dont like it, but just get Sorloth or Vlahovic for cheap (less than 30m) and pray that their height and build help us. Not many options left anyways.
If Flick wants to try CF type of player, maybe try and get Marmoush, but he will atleast cost 65m and no less. He is good, but I dont know if we should be spending that amount on a CF at this moment.
Its imperitive we take advantage of the market next summer for CBs. There will be a few quality players on the market for cheap or even free, and we have to take advantage of it. We need an LCB and next summer will be a make or break time for us.
Just like last summer, a lot of us were dreading that most decent strikers will be sold in 2025, while next summer wont have any good ones left to chose from. And its coming true. It will be the same for CBs this summer.
If we do srewed business, we dont even need to spend a lot and get most for free, while paying for Sorloth transfer. Senesi + Konate + Mykolenko + Cancelo all for free. Though I would rather get Shlotterbeck than Konate.
And Lewa leaving will easily compensate on the wage bill front.
