Two ideal signings for starters are Cunha and Kerkez…. Shame they both don’t seem to like each other 

I do think we need two starters for attack. Suspect we might only get one. Really like Gakpo but someone better and fast as f*** next to a proper striker and Salah would be the ticket

Yep. Gakpo is great but we ought to be in a place where he is our fourth best attacker.

Same as Jota was when he joined. Him rising to be our second best attacker (which he is no longer now anyway) is less to do with him improving and more to do with us failing to replace Mane and Firmino with players who were actually better than Jota.

We really do need two, because in a year or two we'll be asking the same question for Salah's replacement. Assuming of course he signs are contract. Else we need three top class forwards in one summer.

The more I think of it, and even though I think he’s class, I reckon not getting Zubimendi might have been a blessing. Midfield would have been even slighter. We need a monster in midfield. Grav is great but he’s elegant. As annoying as joelinton is, he’s good and just maraudes about kicking people. We need one.

Rodri will be back next season too.

€40m for Frimpong should be on the radar.

He was linked the other day, I noticed. Think he’s said before he nearly signed for us.

Frimpong wouldn't be good in a back 4.

Lads, don't do this to yourselves. Remember who owns us. The time for futile transfer musings is when the transfer window opens for the other 19 clubs in the PL.

He does look good. Really curious to see what we go for in midfield. Think we need a bit more aggression and presence, but also someone who’ll offset the loss of Trent’s creativity. Not sure such a human man exists.

So all we need is Steven Gerrard then?

And from recollection is fairly short, which could be an issue over here

He’s a little slight lad isn’t he?

A Wirtz(er) original?

[Alonso]

I think Xavi Simons would be a good option for us in the 10 role and can also play wider if needed.

Dropped off a cliff this season apparently? 

Also seems nailed on for Bayern.

Nope, Leverkusen have regressed, but he's only scored 2 goals less now, compared to all of last season in the league. He'll have a better season by the time its over this year than he did last year, and he was great last season.

I'm not sure if he's nailed for Bayern, i can see City going for him, even Madrid.
