It would be a big risk. We've already been burnt once with Nunez.

Cunha and Morgan Rogers would cost about the same as Isak, I know what I’d rather we do.

It's a shame lads like Ekitike or Barcola would cost an arm and a leg.

Still - there's definitely someone out there who can improve us and for a reasonable enough fee and wages.

Also, if we end up with a better-defended right-hand side, it may free Szoboszlai up a bit to contribute to the attacking unit a little more.

Yep being paupers let’s see where the next bargain basement gem we can unearth resides.

If only we were a big club

I hope we go all out to beat Chelsea when we play them,.. Stop them getting champions league money.. they'll have to take out a double mortgage on their own hotel then

Id be happy to sign those two. I think Rogers would cost a lot but Villas finances might be In a bit of a pickle if reports are to be believed so you never know.

Definitely rather spread the goals/assists/xG around a bit - bearing in mind that we may not renew Salah's contract beyond the 26/27 season, it would be ideal to be building an attack that isn't so dependent on one player.

Something closer to replicating Firmino/Mane/Salah/Coutinho rather than "give it to Salah" is what we should be looking to aspire to in an appropriate amount of time, rather than simply trying to find "the next" Unicorn of a player.
