Thor 2,832 Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 So if we get Lavia AND Caceido - what does our starting line up look like in terms of best 11? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't see both happening, there's no way Liverpool would allow us to get away with both players. Would have made more sense to wrap up the Caicedo deal and go for Adams as the squad midfielder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree. Our lack of attack was in large part due to the middle of the pitch and not being able to build up properly. We have plenty of talent - it is just hard as fans to imagine a turn around after the struggle we had last season. We will be competing for top 4 easily.

Pizy 19,315 Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 If (and at the moment it’s still a big IF) we sign both Caicedo AND Lavia, the only real area of our best XI you can look at and immediately say we could use an upgrade is on the right wing. But even that sounds a bit harsh before we’ve seen what Madueke and Sterling can do with a proper structure behind them in midfield. Of course Sterling looked like dogshit all preseason but what’s to say he won’t look great again with a rock solid midfield 3 behind him? I’d be pretty surprised if we dip into the market for a RW after the money we could be about the spend in midfield. If any further attacker is brought in I’m betting it’s a striker to rotate with Nico Jackson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we can’t pull the Lavia signing off then I’d 100% bring in Kudus to play in the advanced midfield role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vesper 31,132 Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 (edited) Assuming we do indeed get both Caicedo and Lavia, and Kepa is gone to RM (stupid to not insert a mandatory buy clause on his loan and also madness that Real only have to pay half his salary, as they are literally the world's valuable football team) then we should do the following (I remain maximal in my desires) Buy RW/SMF/CF/SS Kudus GK Mamardashvili CF Swap Deal (Vlahovic for Rom + Cash) If no swap deal, I would with until January and buy Toney (still sell that cunt Lukaku) Sell (to the Saudis if need be in some cases) Romelu Lukaku (swap deal) Conor Gallagher Marc Cucurella Hakim Ziyech Raheem Sterling Trevoh Chalobah Armando Broja (unless we do not replace Lukaku) Callum Hudson-Odoi Malang Sarr Edited August 13, 2023 by Vesper mkh, bigbluewillie and Johnnyeye 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kudus main roles with us would be RW (not LW) and AMF/SS Sterling is far more of a LWer I have always said to sell Sterling to the Saudis I detest him as a player (good human being though) Edited August 13, 2023 by Vesper bigbluewillie and mkh 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like a house really. Don't like something that comes back in pre sale report - don't buy. Someone else might be okay with it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully we get both Caicedo and Lavia, both of whom are superior players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
