R2D2 368 Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 Does it really matter if we don't need Sancho? The alternative to that is spending the same amount on someone with the worst touch in professional football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He already has decent output I don’t see why he can’t step up and reach the same level as Sancho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, considering we could throw Callum in on a one/two year loan deal, which he could greatly benefit from + cash, I would say we do. Based on the fact I've been staring at a block of 8 players+ against us too many times this season. I'm convinced thats why Pep went with such an attacking formation, because if we concede first, we always have such a difficult time when men at behind the ball and commit horrendous errors on the counter. That said, Callum loan + £50-60m, a snip in todays market considering our war chest this year. R2D2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But only if it does not take cash away from our more urgent issues like striker, midfielder, cb and possibly back up goalie (prolly not too costly). I would also sell Ziyech even at a loss if it facilitates the Sancho move. But i really do not believe any of this will happen sadly R2D2 and DH1988 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Preferably, I'd like Callum to go to Dortmund, he needs the experience and they have a good pedigree with young English talent, plus some time with Jude might do us well in the future. I echo your point though, pipedreams.... R2D2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DH1988 1,348 Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 I wouldn’t be disappointed to sign Lukaku because he’s miles better than what we have, that said, it would leave a bit to be desired. personally, I would take a shot at Ronaldo, even if that’s for a season and then activate Haaland’s release clause. No guarantee he would come to us, but ultimately, as a stop gap I would still take Ronaldo over Lukaku. Pure finisher and capable of interchanging, but also ruthless winning attitude that our young lads need more of. Juve doesn’t want him, they may not have CL due to ban, he won’t cost the world in terms of transfer fee and I would honestly take a shot at someone who is known to keep themselves in peak physical condition and still want to win more. Look at the striker problem again next summer when Haaland is available or elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
