Luis Diaz

With Diaz, the issue is the team lacks in defense. You could get Diaz, and the blunders and problems in defense continue to hurt us vs better teams... and you don't improve in the area that is the worst in our team. The transfer makes much more sense if you have the defense sorted and all you lack is more depth up front.

LW is really needed, and while I agree a better CB and a solid LB are needed, LW is still a big issue. Wr can't rely on Fati/Victor level of players for depth.

A lot will depend on who they see attainable in the market. If they don't identify a great CB, I can understand staying put for now.

LB is a must because Martin & Fort are awful. Torrents is 18 years old coming from 2 major injuries (ACL then hamstring) and our success with big La Masia fullbacks are almost non existent. Let him develop slowly rather than pushing him due to desperation.

So,the way I see it: Backup LB & LW are a must, but an upgrade over CB if available is more important.

They identify such CB, get low level/loan LB & LW and buy the CB. They can't find one, wait until next year, get long term LW & LB and next year get a CB.

15m from the Chocolate league last summer.

I know we were in for Jorthy Morko (who is now a full international for Belgium), but Belgian league is one we should look at more for squad positons. Alot of talent that shoots up in value quickly after a sale.

Solid player, had a few mistakes early in the season but then came along. Played most of the second half of the season as DM because Sporting had injury problems and Borges also decided to go back to the Amorim's system after first trying out a 4-man defense for some time when he took over.

He also reported that Liverpool haven't gotten any indication of Barca making a move for him.

For 40-50mil doubt we can get better player.

Don't tell me about Lookman or any Seria A player. There is reason why he is still there.

He would be really good here.

His salery is really low.

J.Garcia, Diaz and Grimaldo and we are cooking. Massive improvement.

We still need to shake Araujo and replace him with somebody with a brain and technique.

The interesting bit here is that the club are signing Joan Garcia and seemingly want to sign a LW already.

Either the FFP situation is much better than first anticipated or they're going to do their usual stuff with last minute shenanigans to get over the top anyway.

Hopefully it's the former lol.
