Need to become a football player or some social media celebrity I guess. Crazy prices, especially given a lot of world's economy isn't actually booming and the cost-of-life crisis is real in pretty much all of "western" world. Wonder when we will see first big name club go under, Barcelona was quite close recently. Just imagine Saudis deciding PSG or City is no longer needed for them.

Thor 2,748 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? Quote 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. Quote 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 18,996 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vesper 30,322 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, Johnnyeye and bigbluewillie 3 Quote 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
