Shhh Sid... We should be having £50/60/70m back ups and squad full of expensive internationals...

[Steveo]

Apart from Virgil, we only have one outfield player in the entire squad that has cost more than £50m.

Naby Keita - ironically he really is backup

[Taksin]

Man City have around 12

4 of them are fullbacks!

Man City today - them and Newcastle soon enough I fear.

Think he will stay and be "backup" with Origi leaving

Jota
Firmino
Salah
Mane
Diaz
Minamino

The lad from Fulham? if he comes i'll be surprised if we have 7 into 6, that's not FSG's way, still fear we'll lose mane or salah after Diaz arrival. hope i'm wrong.

We also have players from midfield that can Fill in.. depending what happens in the middle in the summer.

Can see Carvalho being backup to elliot /rotation depending how he does obviously still young but so is elliot.

But Sid, those stats are deceptive. He played a lot of cup games against lower league opposition, whereas Sadio is always picked to play in the toughest matches.

Taki has 2 pl goals in 87 mins.
0 goals or assists in 215 mins in the CL

Origi has 2 goals in 38 mins in the PL.
1 goal & 1 assist in 175 mins in the CL.

These are small samples but respectable per minute stats at the higher level.

Only 1 of them close to being as good as our 2 !!

[Insidious]

More than played his part in our attempt at 4 trophies - Domestic Cups particularly.

10 goals - some effort within his minutes played that.
