Who is Becker? Lemar and mahrez would be my preference personally. Doubt the keeper would be much better than what we have. But the 2 midfield players would be losing coutinho.
We're not going to sign a keeper without moving at least one of the current three on first. Neither of those two options are ideal imo. Is prefer a AM and a DM. Think most would have been happy if they were told January would see us recruit a CB, DM & AM. However, if I had to choose, it would be B
I have made peace with the fact our defence is beyond help with current coaching structure so I want us to stop throwing Money at it Plus I quite like Mahrez buuuut I don’t like the way he acted last season But going for b Can we not have all three
Mahrez is an interesting one - at first, I thought we could do better (and we still can). But at the right price, we would be getting a player who was the star player of a title winning team. His goals and assists record since 2015 is really good - even more impressive considering the team he plays in. He could reach a new level if he joins and plays with our attackers.
Similar thought prices for me (although I don't need to use stats records as a comfort blanket). I think he'd be a good player at the right price and give us excellent options in the front three. However, he's not a AM and therefore not going to replace Coutinho in central midfield. He's most effective from RW; Salah’s spot and Mane's preferred position.
Leicester fans think he'd cost the same as VVD Realistically how much do we think he'd cost? 40-50mil? 3 years left on his contract I think.
Good option though. We have no one to replace Salah, look yesterday and had to move Ox out there where he wasn’t brilliant, especially cutting in on his left. We have 2 natural wide players in Mane and Salah so def could do with another option. Woukdnt solve issue of our cm though but **** it, go buy another one on top
Squad are now off to Dubai. Coutinho stays. Echo saying that there will be some movement over next few days.
