Exactly. How do we think to compete with City with this transfer policy?
They had Sterling, Sane, B. Silva and they bought Mahrez.
Now they will lose Sane and I bet they will replace him with a top player like Bailey or Oyarzabal.
With so many academy players we have to fill the squad there is absolutely no reason to buy average players any more just go for top class.
Yep, it will replace EURO and Olympics in the summer period.
I am curious to see how long will be break between two season in PL.
And UEFA is planning CL for August.
It looks like with Pulisic, Ziyech and CHO in the squad we are looking for a winger who will be 4th choice.
We were linked with Mertens and now with Benrahma and Corona
We also tried to renew Willian.
All this is telling me we need to forget about Sancho or some other expensive winger like Chiesa, Bailey...
Similar type of players with a lot of assists.
Corona 32 assists for Porto since the start of 18/19 season.
Benrahma 25 assists in this period.
That Pep Barca team is my first association when we speak about lightweight and short teams.
Valdes 183cm, Mascherano as CB 174cm. Puyol also just 178cm. Xavi, Iniesta, Messi, Villa, Alves, Pedro, Adriano all so small.
I choose to believe that we will refuse this option because we are much more ambitious.
I also choose to believe that we also rejected the chance to sign Telles.
I think Williams can be good. Not top opponents but in the last 11 games they only conceded 2 goals. And we did not score against them in two PL games.
Pasalic for sure.
Morata money is coming.
Emerson or Alonso. Probably Emerson.
This is sure thing. And it will get us around 80m pounds.
And we will still try hard to sell Baka, Michy, Moses... But not sure we will succeed.
There is also a possibility of selling Barkley (Newcastle) and if we get new CB one will leave.
Not a chance we sell guys like Drinky, Zappa, Baba... They will be on loan again
