He's already better than Gakpo. If Salah left we'd need better forwards for every position 

*Diaz, obviously

If Trent does go, that creativity will have to be replaced by more than one player so Cunha makes sense (alongside a sh*t hot attacking midfielder - Rogers maybe).

Nunez is gone and one of Jota and Diaz could go, so may as well get Isak in.

Get the two Bournemouth lads in and a new right back to duke it out with Bradley.

To recap, that's Matheus Cunha, Morgan Rogers, Alexander Isak, Dean Huijsen, Milos Kerkez plus one other.

Easy, this.

 

 

Hughesy after signing another goalkeeper and a young centre half from Brondby.

The work rate of Diaz and the out that he constantly gives the team is really underestimated by so many I think. He's having a Gakpo out of position season this year but in games like yesterday he was brilliant.

Whether we want him or not, Jota imo isn't going anywhere. We aren't going to extend his contract, but I can see anyone wanting to spend money on him given his injury record and how often he's missing in a season. I'd be fine with him being here until his contract is up anyway, but not someone we should depend on primarily

 

100%. Can't see us getting big money for him - although arsenal have been linked - and he'd be absolutely fine as a squad option. Just can't be getting a new deal. It's why I think Diaz will go. Let one become more of a squad player, get money for the other to use for someone you fancy down the middle.

If Cunha’s clause is £62m I’d pay that in a heartbeat. Think our setup suits a ball playing false nine. We score so many from wide areas we don’t need an out and out goalscorer.

Gives me Bobby vibes a little.

Yeah, I'm well on the Cunha bus. I think he's exactly what we need as a 9.

I thought he was excellent yesterday. Just doesn't score enough. Joyce was retweeting some Spanish-language journal last week who was on about Barca still liking Diaz, so something is clearly still bubbling away.

[Stanley Leisure]

Would be absoutely fine cashing in on Diaz.

Barca liking and Barca being able to pay for are a long way apart

Joyce isn't retweeting it for yucks. He mentions it in his latest article too.

Swap with Raphinha.

I wish Diaz would get a bit cuter with his 'challenges' for balls in the air. Literally just looks at the player and runs at them

Ha yes I think he's so bad at this. Or good, if you like

[Alonso]

Whilst jones can cover off Mac/dom we could do with another in there given Elliot isn’t fancied. Then also think we’ll need cover for gravenberch.

I think with Harvey it's just about physicality and that isn't going to change anytime soon so get some big fcker in. Rogers etc

If we're wishlisting, then Cole Palmer might not fancy another year not in the CL

He’d need to get a new goal celebration

Cole and Isak and Saliba please bob.

Nico Williams might be realistic, has a release, especially if Barca want Diaz

I don't think Trent's necessarily a goner. I believe him when he says he doesn't want to be a player who won everything when he was young - think winning the league this season could go a long way to him staying

I'd rather he stayed, but I'd be pretty OK with him going. His defending is a serious drawback. I know his attacking is a real weapon, but it's quite counterbalanced by his defensive frailties.
