James 5,333 Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 Taking a glance at Atletico Madrid’s transfers this summer on a site like TransferMarkt, it’s really quite astonishing how much business they’ve done. Taking on the money from the sale of Antoine Griezmann to Barcelona, as well as several other fringe players, they’ve bought new players all over the pitch to totally regenerate the squad.

Unless Famia-Castillo is good to go (NO way to know this) we have to upgrade at LB, and Azpi, after this season, is done as a top class 4500 minute a season RB, so Reece better come good. Our CB's are a mess without Rudiger ATM, and even with him we need a true WC stopper. MF is fine as long as Mount and the rest keep developing, although I get the feeling we MAY be selling either Jorginho or Kante next summer (that is not at all for sure) Our wingers and strikers are also so so so going to need upgrades (90% plus sure of this) Most of the weak spots we do not have an instant youth plug in other than James (unless he unexpectedly goes to shit, which I cannot see at all) If all the question marks this year (and there are a tonne of question marks, unfortunately) do not pan out well, and if we then do not spend massively in summer 2020, we are going to be in deep shit, so, nope, not buying into the 'we will not spend big' thing at all.
