This is a different stage of developing the team. Do you not want to close out this young squad with some proven players and go for the league next year?
There is a lot more urgency to find a right-footed left winger and defenders.
Instead of wasting days in the summer, I wish the club was just clinical and went out to get the top targets they want - Delap, Rogers, Murillo and Maignan
Any other business can be if the deal is too good to turn down. Kudus has an 85m pound release clause and is barely an upgrade on Neto/Madueke
I have defended Sanchez here but we must make a switch as soon as we can get an upgrade. Maignan would be better and he speaks French - which some of the defense (Gusto Badia Fofana ) speak too.
I can understand the club going with lowball offers - We’ve got a great relationship with Milan and he’s 30 and running out his contract
Liking the new kit and welcome Liam Delap. Quietly hopeful we have our #9 for a long time - fast, strong, Premier League experience, decent technique and a rocket shot on him.

Little more about Maignan’s dip in form here. His baseline level is good and he looked a rock solid keeper couple of years ago
Plettenburg is routinely put in Tier 3 in different reliability threads

I think we did try to sign Doue but once Bayern and PSG were in for him, there was no chance really
I can’t fault the club for identifying good wingers and attackers over the years. Just made awful decisions on who they signed
Mudryk Sterling Madueke Neto Sancho is an awful set of wingers to sign over 3 years and we are now reading they want Gittens, Garnacho
Matt Law has no clue what’s going on and is just repeating what he’s reading online.
I’m on board with replacing Jackson and Madueke but the wingers we are linked to has me worried.
In
Liam Delap
Morgan Rogers
Hugo Ekitike
Murillo
Chevalier
Outs
A dozen deadwood
I’d love to go out and buy serious experience to complete the squad but this is the best case scenario I think. Please avoid Sancho and Gittens as the left wingers - will be another season where we struggle to break down defences
Liverpool have agreed personal terms and know Wirtz is just waiting for the clubs to agree a deal. No rush for them after Wirtz picked Liverpool over Bayern, City
I think we will be shopping in a different aisle now we got CL
We'll need a Nico Williams/ Morgan Rogers lite attacking player now that we're going with a punt like Delap for forward
Will be the boring option for the Defense. We need to have a summer of signing the best available CB/LW. Especially after we’ve gone with a punt pick in Liam Delap.
There are loads of CBs I’d take over Guehi
Wingers we were linked with - Dembele Raphinha Doue
Wingers Boehly-Co have signed since takeover - Sterling, Mudryk, Madueke, Angelo, Neto, Sancho
We are trying to be PSG but have come up with a bad version of it
Haven't watched him but going through the internet for reasons - Looks like there are doubts he can handle the Premier League's defenders. He has two seasons in the Championship and two seasons in the Portuguese league. He rarely scores headers and without his box contribution, there are doubts his technical level is good enough.
