I really doubt we can improve much on Ferran/Roberto/Kessie as bench options. The first was a rotation option for City, a team with unlimited money, but not good enough for bench here? Roberto been a rotation player in better Barca teams, then Kessie is proving he's solid and was a starter in Scudetto winning Milan.
You don't really get world class players to sit the bench because none of them come to do that... The best you can get are B tier players.
We can absolutely do better than Torres, what he cost or where he came from doesn't matter, all that matters is that he's a net negative in the team, if they did plus/minus in football like they do in basketball, I'm sure the team would be a minus whenever he plays.
You won't hear any arguments from me about Kessie, but the same people who are saying he's a good player now are the ones who were saying he's trash a few days ago.
Roberto is a solid utility player.
We need better options up front & a better back up CB.
It fati & Torres were better, things would be different, but but the situation is what it is right now.
