When you consider the RS are dominating with about 5 top players and top manager - we have the top manager & Digne/Sidibe/Richarlison can easily match up with their counterparts- I wonder what the strategy should be going forward?
Do we:
1. Sign 5-6 £25-30 million players over the next 2x windows and have a starting 11 of hopefully top 7ish quality
Or
2 . Do we sign 2-3 £50-60 million CL quality players in the clubs spine and hope they like the RS provide the difference?
I think we’ll splash the cash in January.
Carlo will have already given Brands a list of the players he wants with Uncle Uzi sat in the back ground casually thumbing through big wads of dough!
Can’t wait.
Not sure i agree with player comparisons...
However, one thing is clear to me and that is when looking at the starting 11 we could field there are 2 players missing of elite quality that we absolutelty need.
We must get our hands on a top class centre back and a superstar centre midfielder.
Think back to all the greatest club sidea and you will be able to reel off their centre back and centre midfielder.
Pickford is still young in goalkeeping terms and we have Richarlison up top. Add in top players to those 2 positions and we'll be a totally different side.
For that we need to spend massive money.
Think some posters are jumping the gun here, It's gonna hard to attract certain players with no europe even with Ancelotti imo, We're 15th in the league yes we've pulled off Ancelotti which gives the whole club a boost but I don't think it means we can just pick n mix from some of Europe finest talents.
That depends on the player. We have the money, we have the manager and were in the top league.
It may be that a player joins us rather than another side for any of those reasons and of course, he will play.
The latest rumours is we want Stones back.
Was told by a scout at Tranmere
Yeah hasnt developed at all since he has left not sure how i feel us going for him
NO. No Beckenbauer of the poor please!
John Stones is still only 25 and would be a massive signing for us.
I think its very unlikely but he'd be a masterstoke. The best English centre back around in front of Englands keeper....yes please.
Hopefully Zielinski - he’s a unreal player
Cant defend at all though...i think we need a Gatusso, Keane, Vieira in midfield.
Hes more the icing on the cake...
