We’ve been batting off approaches for Luiz for years, but then we have to accept the first bid that comes in, and includes two kids we didn’t want as much as Weston McKennie.
6/10.Should we have the wiggle room wage wise, are there any respectable frees out there?
I doubt we'll ever have a thread like this which doesn't include a load of people moaning that we needed 1 or 2 more, or that we were risking things on 1-2 key players not getting injured, or that the person overseeing it is shit at their job.For me we've got to the end of the window with 2 players in every position who either got us into the champions league or who have experience in the champions league, we have a good number of young players out on loan getting important experience. We have looked at the glaring weakness in the squad from last season and added someone in midfield to make us better at set pieces at either end, who offers better aerial coverage in front of the defence and who adds a huge amount of power into what was previously a technical but small group of players. We've also added 2 young fullbacks who look like they're will fit in perfectly with how we want to play.All of that given to one of the best managers around who has already improved almost every player at the club and who is known for liking a slightly smaller squad with a few versatile players to cover the gaps.If we added a Geertruida or someone similar in place of Carlos and if we could've got a versatile forward I'd have bene happier but both would've bene minor improvements rather than filling huge and obvious gaps. As such the window is a solid B for me and is evolution not revolution, which I'm always in favour of.
