FSG won't stump up the money in the summer either, they are looking to sell, it is no longer in their interest to spend much money. I think we need to find a buyer asap tbh

Also another backup keeper since Kelleher might be loaned/sold.
At least a back up goal keeper there easier to come by

I dont even think CB is a problem. Or at least one we can put off for another year. Everyone thinks our defenders are suddenly s**t but you can put any defenders in front of our midfield and they will struggle because teams are just walking through our midfield and exposing our defense.
We have to defend as a team and that start from the forwards backwards but our back four is just getting zero help and suddenly waves of players are running at like two defenders. If we sort the midfield in the summer, get Diaz, Nunez, Jota back fit and firing the defence will be fine.
Then in 12 months, perhaps a replacement for Matip.
Dont think any reassessment is needed with Ali. He's the best GK on the planet and will be for years to come still.Loan Kellerher for next season. Reasses where Ali is at in 2024.
Yeah but we have no money, if the board makes any money available is absolutely MUST be spent in midfield. CB can wait another 12 months but of course if we had money then yeah I'd be bringing in another young CB too.Cmon mate. Matip next season will be pushing 33 and very injury prone. VVD isnt getting younger either but thats less of an issue wirh his posirioning & reading of the game. We gottta sign a young Matip replacement wirh plenty of hunger and legs. That way we can go back to the aggressive high line that Jurg craves.
Jogo it seems will not be the player he was before injuries. But ok as a #4th choice.

I'd go VVD, Konate, Kim and Matip (With Gomez moving to backup RB, Ramsay loaned out, and Phillips getting sold).No reason to sell Matip. Im all for bringing in another young top class CB but we dont need to continually sell to buy do we?
Matip is excellent cover for us with probably VVD and Konate being first choice then having new CB, Matip and Gomez as back up and JoGo can also play RB.
Jake Cain sold, undisclosed fee.
Surely we flip that Cain money into Bellingham.
The midfield is a complete joke.Midfield being so hapless is making the forwards and the defense look worse, we need 2-3 midfielders, then I think the defense and forward will naturally start firing again too
The midfield is a complete joke.
They offer no protection to the back 4. And they provide zero service to the front 3. They literally offer nothing
I'd need to check but I'm sure I saw somewhere that it's actually Thiago who leads our mids in tackling stats etc and if that's true, that's damning on Hendo and Fab in particular.Hendo's biggest asset were his legs, now that those are gone, he isn't offering much
Fab's legs have gone a little but he is asked to do the impossible every game
Thiago has his skill set but he also has no legs
We can't have all 3 of them starting, can probably only carry one of them while playing Jurg's style.
