I dunn owhere he will play but we have snagged another bargain.
if the club can set a price of 27mil for minamino (and actually get it) then these bargains work out.
if we just get goals and wins like origi got us for his 9mil investment that got paid off by a couple loans and big game wins then thats fine too.
hopefully this lad can be worth a squad place. thats the key.
Bargains are only bargains if they improve the squad not just put us back as they take up room.
Next year squad:
GK alisson, Kelleher and who?
RB: Trent . will neco williams stay, has he developed at fulham? who knows.
LB: robbertson and tsimikas. well sorted there
RCB: Gomez and matip and konate. seem well sorted
LCB: vvd and konate. again not too bad. we have a bargain van den berg spare here to sell
No 6: fabinho. we are short here.
RCM: elliott, henderson keita ox. We will see i think this needs looking at.
LCM: Thiago, jones. milner. again needs looking at. i'm not convinced
LW: diaz, carvalho, mane jota. Well sorted
CF: Firmino, jota. Reasonably happy with mane there.
RW: Salah. again this needs looking at. the next gen is missing.
a cheap 3rd GK, maybe with a HG tag.
Decide on RB: is williams any good, is he too arrogant?
DM cover. badly needed. look at tsimikas, diaz impacts.
RCM: can elliott step up?
LCM: I think we fit someone in here with a purchase.
CF: if bobby done?
RW: Is salah staying or going.
For the first team 100% really good CM is needed. then look to RB cover, then sort this RW issue out.
Sell: phillips will go, williams x 1?, williams x2? ox, minamino
think about: mane and salah contracts. ketia conundrum. is he worth an extension?
Milner contract is another unknown that drives the LCM discussion.
Seem to be linked with Ramsey at Aberdeen as cover for TAA which would make sense.
Wouldn’t mind Ramsay at Villa think he’s looked very good in midfield, a younger Ox in that drives forward but wouldn’t be any kind of cover at DM and can’t see villa selling.
