I've spent years here trying to bestow the virtues and mentality needed to land No19, to land No20 No7 and more you HAVE to always work hard to improve and invest in the right players to improve while improving on any weak links and chinks in your armour at the same time
We needed another top class forward who can play right across the line, Werner was that player, we let him go
We still need for certain types of games and more creative midfielder who can also fit in with our tempo hard work and pressing, Fabian Ruiz IS that player, he's this summers Fernandes, only he's better than Fernandes and can also offer the desired quality and competition and LCM, RCM, LFWD and RFWD so bringing him in would also go a long way to making up for missing out on Werner AND it absolutely would improve us. Lallana's gone, Shaqiri will be going, Wilson, Grujic, so we can absolutely stretch ourselves to land him and we desperately need to
We urgently need a new top class CB or to discover a miracle way to keep Matip free of injury as he is the only one of our CB's who is good enough to partner Virgil, Lovren's an accident waiting to happen and Gomez has been targeted as our weakest link successfully in too many games this season for that issue to be ignored
You DO NOT keep winning by standing still
Out: Origi, Lovren, Lallana, Shaqiri, Wilson, Grujic
In: Fabian Ruiz and a top centre back
Into the quad more frequently to play more: Brewster, Jones, Williams, Minamino
That will have to do with some restraint required as a result of COVID, we have to be brutally honest and continue to improve, all the outs just aren't good enough and never have been and never will be
