Thiago / Bajcetic

Salah / Doak
Gakpo / Jota
Diaz / Nunez

Not horrendous but does show a couple key players were missing a first/second choice. RB and that DM role. But all those 2nd choice players can at least step in at a decent level and are generally always available bar maybe Matip.

Think 2 more players is fine. Remember we’re in the Europa this year so the 2nd choice will get a lot more game time there where can rest the first team unlike in the CL so in theory means can play the first team in key prem games more often this year baring injuries.

Thiago's said he wants to leave

you have to suspend disbelief for a half second and think what would happen if kane was dumped to bayern for 200mil and mbappe jogged into white Hart Lane as replacement.

how many spuds would start mouthing about kane who?

Once you stop suspending disbelief you just laugh

alonso played for us with a tigerish Masch winning balls alongside him and then feeding him the ball in a 4-2-3-1. He was an amazing player whose intelligence countered his only weakness; lack of pace. Arguably the best midfielder in the world for a season or two at Madrid. All that said, I think he’d be exposed at the base of our midfield - most would…..I’d go for pace - a Kante type, who buzzed around the half spaces giving the opposition no time to breath….preferably taller but that’s being picky.

I think I’ll message Jurgen straight away and let him know <laugh>
Tell him to order Kanté and a rack.
 
if we get him, I can’t believe for a second that he’d be the only inbound midfielder between now and the start of the season.

yeah he doesn't make a lot of sense to me personally at the fee mentioned and as he is really a one position kid. I really do think the next digging will be able to play 2 or 3 slots.

Szoboszlai is Elliott. he could be playing rw so his signing was based on having Henderson, fabinho, thiago and macallister.

I don’t know the player well enough to comment - I just cannot see 3 experienced midfielders replaced by a 19 year old who stood out in a sh*t team. I also cannot see us paying more than £35m, perhaps with a bunch of add ons that increases his value if he fulfils his potential.

Well what you've said is bang on. price, experience, the lot.
 
two more would be ok.

matip is done. the fact he is still there tells us the story. any other club chasing top of table would have said sorry and bye to him a year ago.. min.

gomez can cover rb and thsts the only reason he'd be kept by anyone.

that means cb is an absolute issue for us. why? I'll bet you knoate.missed 5-10 league games through knocks.

rb is an issue yes.

midfield needs a senior body. absolutely 100% need.

forwards need to gel and deliver. they are the key for me.

Matip is a good option and prob one of the best 4th choice cb’s there is out there. Don’t get why you think he’s finished, always done well and offers a very attacking threat withh his ability to bring the ball out of defence

Lavia has much more to his game than just a defensive mid. He ball carrying ability is very good as well
