Player Valuation: £80m
Cantona woils have been in Barkleys position if in our formation + dont forget if we went 3 at the back then we would need more centre backs as competitoon/cover.
It would be ideal though to have a talismanic player come in as a deep lying playmaker who could link and also alternate positions with barkley.
We also need to have players who can play different positions and i would love to see Bernardo Silva comd in as he can play deep or in barkleys role but also wide left or right and is still only 21 years old so fits in nicely with our core group.
I thought we should have got him in Jan and i would hope we could get him off monaco. Hes an attainable target.
I'd also go for Tielemans or Neves to conpete in CM with them transitioning into barrys role in the following season.
Those two make us look very strong:
DM- Barry /McCarthy
LM - Silva / Cleverley
CM - Besic / Tielemans or Neves
RW - Deulofeu / Lennon
ACM - Barkley / Tarashaj
Thats a ridiculously talented midfield and would be the best in the league as the players develop.
I actually think we should make a big move on one of the top young centre backs coming through to replace Jagielka as he gets older and compete with Mori and Stones for me thats Jonathan Tah. If we had him then headers wouldnt be an issue in the box defensively.
No idea at right back and keeper we would be foolish not to try for Leno or Rico.
Zat mate, your far far too obsessed with signing kids, not to develop them over a few years but as suggestions for straight into the first team
we should according to you sign a 21yo left winger, a 18yo cm or a 19yo as your two options
can tell you right now a team consisting of Barkley, Deulofeu, Silva, Tielmans and say Barry/Mccarthy/Besic would get absolutely hammered every week
Ridiculously talented midfield? errrm from a offensive point it is skillful but christ mate theirs one player int heir who can tackle
Your competition for Stones and Mori is a 20yo cb, despite the fact that Stones and Mori look a little lost without the experienced head of jagielka back their, then n top you'd throw in a 22yo keeper totally new to the league in Rico
At right back you said you didnt have any idea, but im guessing your preferred choice still hasn't left school...
Having a youthful element in the team is fine matye, but you need experience and without it the young players wont develop they will jsut get battered and lose confidence, we have Stones, Deulofeu, Barkley and Lukaku and right now playing any more than 2 of them at once looks shakey your adovacting making Lukaku and Barkley two of our oldest starting players LOL
