Agreed, and this used to be our main strength!

Clear Red & Clear penalty. Araujo started badly, gave the ball away poorly and made a stupid decision to try to intercept rather than take a straighter line back to goal and front up Barcola. Xavi had no choice but to sub Yamal really. From then on we needed leaders and strong defence and we...

That's what kills us...

So that's 6 CB's now, one or two more and we should be set :lol:

Agree about Bruno :( Not sure how Kessie would fit. I don't think he's a Busi replacement from what I've seen of him, and I can't see him playing with a DM and Frenkie as nowhere for Pedri then. I can only think either double pivot as you say or maybe as a replacement for Frenkie if they plan to...

It isn't my suggested lineup, I've added those at the bottom. It's the lineup we seem to be heading to with the players we have been linked with/in talks with.:rolleyes: And in my opinion, pretty much anyone would give us an edge over LDJ for the rest of this season. :lol:

What bullshit? No need to be an arse. That is the front three we've had for several games, i'm just looking at the positive side and seeing that as an improvement. Of course it isn't Neymar-Suarez-Messi, those days are long gone. But we are where we are and have to get better, little by little...

Attack is better than Eze...........Luke.........Jutgla surely.

How am I saying that? We can't choose from anyone in the WHOLE world can we? I'm saying, pretty clearly, that I think he's better than what we have at the moment, particularly as a temporary solution until summer.

....................Ter Stegen.................... Mazraoui.....Araujo.....??............Tagliafico ...........Kessie.....DeJong.....Pedri........... Torres...............Morata.............Fati/Depay Haaland for Morata in the summer, if at all possible. Zakaria/Grillitsch for Frenkie as I...

Is he the perfect signing if money was no object? No Is he considerably better than De Jong/Braithwaite? Hell yes

I'm hearing Kessie done deal for summer on 8m per year, any truth is this?

I think it's more to do with finance. With the exceptions of Pedri & Fati they are amongst the few players we have with any value. Who's going to buy Busquets or Pique? When you have ageing players on huge wages it's very hard to unload them. Man City had the same problem a few years ago. They...

:p:p:p Sad but true :shakeshead:

:p Pjanic could join that list too...

There are never guarantees wherever you buy from (Coutinho, anyone?) but what we have to look at is improving the team/squad. I can't see how he could possibly be worse than LDJ or Braithwaite and we desperately need a goalscorer. I've watched him in CL which I think is a decent gauge, scoring...

I watched him play against Chelsea last night and he looked a good all round forward. Took his goal really well, worked hard, pressed and is very good in the air.

Will go down as one of the worst signings in football history. Looks like a world beater in 1 game then pub player for the next 4 then injured. Ad Infinitum.

Agreed and would add Sardar Azmoun to that list too. No Suarez but a considerable upgrade on LDJ & MB. Him, Zakaria, Kamara, Grillitsch etc are good ages too and would have decent resale value.

Rebuilding this squad would be a big job with money to spend. Without it's going to take some incredibly shrewd recruitment. There are quite a few good players available for free summer 2022. We can't possibly attract/afford the likes of Mbappe, Dybala or Pogba but I hope we're pulling out all...
