Would a pivot of Bissouma + Kovacic work in a back 4? Mount the CAM?

Neither are DM, although if Kante + Kovacic can somehow make it work then i suppose Bissouma would too. Personally still want a creative midfielder but beggar can't be chooser.

I'm just trying to explore all the possibilities to implement a system where our attacking players can actually thrive. Kante and Kovacic "worked" but there were several issues in terms of dominating possession. I would hope Bissouma's ability on the ball could fix that.

If you are looking to dominating possession a DLP might be the better fits. Bissouma stat with a progressive passes leaving a lot to be desired.

Pulisic fits Klopp system to a t, Mane and Salah would be nowhere players they are without Klopp. 

Mane for Southampton was streets above any version Puli has displayed for us bar the restart period which was a semi pre season.

Not even Klopp will fix his tunnel vision and erratic football brain.

I'm not sold on Jesus however I would take Sterling.

It's a dangerous assumption after you know who but you would think he will get a healthy number of goals to allow us to keep with Kai at false 9 without having to obsess over his own goal tally.

Don’t think we are linked with him.

Cool. How about we actually buy some players instead of reprinting the same story that Boehly will give Tuchel control.

TT taking the lead will not help the inability of the club to make deals early and smart.

I expect a quiet summer. Kounde and a couple of other compulsory mid-price duds in the Zappacosta-ilk

Names Dembele, Nkunku, Sterling in attack. Kounde, De Ligt, Gvardiol in defence. Rice in midfield

Quiet summer indeed. Instead of getting new players we will be repaying Lukaku's  transfer fee and paying his wages close to 50 mil this year alone. I was dead series when I called that transfer catastrophe that will lead to our demise losing top four spot. There is no other way. We will pay ultimate price. This club is on downhill from that moment and I'm seeing nothing to convince me otherwise.

So despite TT claiming the squad needs to be rebuilt this summer, and we have lots of work to do.  People expect a quiet summer?

 

It's June 7th.  We'll sign 4 or 5.  And yes, I do think there is a good chance Raheem Sterling is one of them

De Ligt is RCB, while Gvardiol is more CCB or LCB. It would be De Ligt vs Kounde instead of De Ligt vs Gvardiol.

Don't think Nkunku is moving anywhere this summer.

Binning Lukaku and one of Ziyech/Pulisic/Werner while getting Dembele and Sterling would be great. Havertz to be the main striker.

Doesn't De Ligt have a contract extension agreed with Juve? I thought it was just a matter of signing it.
