Tbh 3rd striker was always extra. Last season Giroud from August to February. And Michy from February till end of the season.
If we hopefully do not have injuries next season Timo will be regular starter so one of Olie or Tammy will be in very difficult situation.
Ake played LB yesterday for Netherlands.
I think this could be great option for Pep. They are struggling with LB for years.
He likes his LB to go in the middle and Ake even played as DM for Benitez I think. Great player defensively so it would allowed Pep to use Cancelo instead of Walker as RB. Cancelo is great going forward but weak in defense.
And KK looks like a done deal.
Ederson
Cancelo Koulibaly Laporte Ake
Rodri
B.Silva KDB
Torres Aguero Sterling
I fancy our chances to finish over Liverpool but it will be really hard to finish above City. They never had defense at this level.
Top 5 deals by Marina imo:
No order.
Oscar - £60m
He was nowhere worth that money.
Hazard - Different reports but at worst we got 115m. Will probably rise more. And he had just one year left on contract. Sane much younger and in same situation was how much? 45m? Masterclass!
Morata - around £60m
Again it is crazy that we got our money back.
Diego Costa - also around £60m
In the situation when Conte told publicly that he does not count on him and Diego said that he only wants Atletico to actually get that amount of money is another masterclass.
Havertz - £62m +8m
Bayer said 100m euros so she really did amazing job by lowering the price. And Havartz is worth much more in today's market.
Exactly one month left in transfer window.
Not counting 10 players already on loan we have 46 players left! So half of them need to be sold or to go on loan.
We really need to focus now on this.
Havertz vs Mount 3 years ago.
Looking at some U19 highlights games Mount really looked like a baller... Now I understand why was he so rated in youth.
I think physicality is the biggest issue in his transition into senior football.
