Who do we have after Saka and Martinelli? It's not ESR's natural position, and Pepe needs to go. Definitely more important areas, but we need wingers.

And ESR does often play wide

And Reiss bloody Nelson is still on the books

Forgot about Nelson, I'd like to see him have another season at Feyernoord. Took a while to settle but if he has another season similar to how ended the last one, it would do his confidence the world of good. Looked a shadow of himself when used as a bit part player before the loan.

I still think another out and out winger is needed personally.

Yep. For Europa League and Cup games, Pepe and Nelson should be able to slot in with ease. We really need to bring in a striker and CM.

Raphina is needed.

Martinelli hardly scores and Saka gets overplayed.

The players we have to come in and rotate with them are ESR who cramps up after 45 minutes of football and Pepe who is awful. Reiss Nelson doesn't seem to cut it at the top PL level.

So we need quality depth. Especially in a season where we'll have loads of games and world cup to deal with.

Raphina will be an excellent signing.

Nelson can go back on loan. Sign a new deal and ship him out.

He did well at the back end of the season at Feyenoord. Needs to add goals and assists to his game though.

Wouldn't mind sending him on loan to the Prem. He just needs regular game time and confidence.

We really saying don't get raphinha because we have Reiss Nelson? Lol. Two players who are worlds apart in quality, we only have martinelli and saka who are options on the wings, Reiss Nelson isn't good enough, pepe isn't trusted, Smith Rowe is hit and miss, big clubs don't care about who gets game time, if you are good enough you play simple. Man city aren't worried about stunting a youth players development they sign the players who will help them compete and that's that, we need to be more ruthless.

No because we don't have a striker or a CM and most can admit we don't have an unlimited budget. We've spent £40m so far and I'm assuming we'll spend £150m this window.

Reports say our bid was rejected. Personally terms with player agreed with Barca but Leeds want more money and won't agree to £45m.

Leeds demanding more than £50m.

There going to ride this one out all summer till they drive up enough cash from a bidding war.

We need a CF far more than a winger, the one area we have plenty of competition.

I'd like to have him but again, we should be routing that money to focus on priority areas, Leeds will try to push this to £60m I recon and play the long game.

Seems like that. They probably want some time to consider replacements too.

They have to play is carefully though. They made a complete hash of transfers last year and almost paid the ultimate price for it.

One of those deals that - along with Jesus - takes our attack to the next level though.

He wants Barca, but they just signed Torres from Man City in Jan for €55m and are short on cash.

I still think he'll sign for them if they're able to sell Frenkie de Jong to Utd for £60m or so.
