I personally think we won't be letting half a dozen players go. Nunez was in talks with Napoli, so we know we are serious about selling him if we can. I think the likes of Diaz, Elliott, Konate, Chiesa are here to stay. An option like Mateta I'd actually welcome tbh, he's decent and a right handful.
id be happy if we bought a CB and a striker and just sold a couple from that list tbh. Since the passing of Jota, selling Diaz seems pointless unless we get a great offer and an equally great replacement. A #9 is super critical, as is a CB. (Two if Konate is moved on to capitalise on any value he may have now…but that doesn’t seem an issue to the club tbh)
Already more changes than I'm comfortable with. I really wouldn't care to predict how well we'll do this season.
agreed….im as nervous as I am excited. Years of partnerships broken up all over the park….it’ll take a little time to bed in
Does Mateta have any pace? He seems a bit porky to me. Don't get me wrong, he's a deadly finisher and as strong as an ox, but a Cyrille Regis-type player has never really suited our style. That all said, if only Dawin had one-fifth of his touch and guile.
