United finished 7 points ahead of us last season. They add Sancho and Varane plus will add MF. Linked with Camavinga, Rice, Saul. And RB - Trippier.
While we are doing nothing? Hoping new players from last season will come good is dangerous game. From last season Mendy and Silva did almost perfect. Chilwell was very solid, no one really expected more from him.
I am sure Kai will be much, much more effective.
Not so optimistic about Werner and problem with Ziyech is that can we really afford to give him more game time? Last season he played just 1900 mins with 6g and 4a which is solid.
But I feel Werner, Mount, Pulisic will be ahead of him.
We should improve and refresh squad in terms of quality. But not only striker. For example we have Guehi, Tomori sold, ok nice but now sell Zouma and I see many fans be like Sarr or Ampadu can fill the spot.
I disagree with that. We should buy top, world class CB who is ranked ahead of Rudi, Chris... And they fight for spot in defense... This is what top teams do. Liverpool have VVD and Gomez back but they also add Konate.
City have Laporte on the bench. UTD scored 15 goals more than us and they add Sancho who is 20g, 20a per season player.
It is naive to think we have great defense and midfield, no new players needed there. But average players are indeed not needed. We need one new world class player in every line.
Before Hakimi signed for PSG I genuinely believed our transfer window could be something like this: Varane/Romagnoli, Hakimi, Locatelli/Tielemans, Haaland.
At the moment looks like Hakimi and Haaland are off and we will sign lower quality CB and MF than expected.
