Grujic, Wilson, Keita, Shaqiri, Oxlade, Minamino, Origi, Davies plus one or two others makes everything add up and probably puts us nearer a 40m net spend AND Gini going on a free with his value at 35m ish is offest against FFP, plus there's a significant allowance in it from UEFA because of Covid I read about briefly
Not at all arsed about marquee signings, only see that happening if one of Salah or Mane were to leave
We absolutely do need another commanding CB - Konate
We absolutely do need to replace Gini with a similar player with great strength, reading of the game, ability to drive the ball forward and operate under pressure in very tight areas and that's - Bissouma except for his passing and likelyhood to rip the back of the net out from outside the area is better, so an upgrade on Gini
We absolutely need that more attacking midfielder for RCM as all the players we have signed for that role have failed miserably, a player with great passing, crossing, dribbling and ability to assist and score goals, WITH the drives and relentless work ethic we demand from all our players - That is absolutely Rodrigo De Paul who will also give us absolutely brilliant options as he can play LCM and attacking CM and certainly has the ability to be used at RFWD when we're looking to see games out.
We absolutely need another FWD a No9 to replace Origi, and Jurgen himself said we need to sign the next MBappe or Haaland rather than look to marquee signings and Marlen or Lautaro Martinez look to fit the bill, my preference would be Marlen as he looks a hybrid between a No9 and false 9 so would slot in very nicely and looks well capable of being used in any of our 3 forward positions
I think adding another top class commanding CB and the 2 midfielders are our absolute top priorities, we need that creative dribbler at RCM, we absolutely desperately need that player, it will make a chasm of difference against all sides and especially park the bus sides having that player who can break lines and dribble and run past players with power, pace and agility and has the vision and ability to create from there
