Potter is involved but the decicision isn't soely on him.
Much like Pep and Txiki and Arteta and Edu, Vivell identifies a talent that has traits which translate to Potter's football. Potter and Vivell both must have the OK before it gets signed off.
I'd say DM.
Jorginho, Kovacic, Kante, and Zakaria are the only deep players. You can add Ruben but he's as reliable as a politician, and Kante and Zakaria are far too injury prone.
I don't think it happens. Think we wait until the summer and get some hole filler on loan for now.
It is a smart move if the plan is to use this fiscal year's transfer fund for midfielders.
We are the only ones who seem crazy enough to bid that high for him (85m). City want Bellingham. There's no secret.
Foolish hope, but I still think we can bag him. Particularly if there are still delays with Liverpool/United's ownership ordeal. It's just a matter of moving as close as we can to the release clause.
Until the day Jorginho, Zakaria, Kante, and Kovacic magically pick their head up and find players in the right position the same problems will persist.
Speculations that since the debt has been paid, what ever the amount the player is sold above their book value is considered a profit in accounting/FFP terms, but 100% of the transfer fee will be utilized as cash on hand.
