Nunez looks to on the way also, so right now our squad is looking too deep in some positions. But as to hers have said, we need to assess this once the window closes.
With nunez in the way out, I think the minimum we need is a cf and a cb. I'd like 2 cb (1 young and for the futur) but don't see that happening.
Surely we're not counting on Chiesa to stay fit ??
but yeah we'll see what happens, I hope we've not sold nunez, Diaz, and elliot (most likely)
just to bring isak in, and call it a day we're looking rather short in numbers, at some point soon sadly we can't expect salah and VVD to play every game, i'm happy with the transfers but I'd be a lot more confident if konate didn't keep picking up little injurys and VVD&Salah was younger.. and chiesa actually played and stayed fit.
Rather bring in Barcola (who can play LW or down the middle) + a solid CB.. if the only other option is isak and that's it done.
It's all good having a top first team, but we need depth too, especially how many games we have to play these days, not to mention the fringe/youth getting sold so lower on numbers, not just diaz,Jota,Nunez,Quansah,Elliot etc.
Yes we have the 16 year old that looks good, and Doak but in the long-run if they have to play a lot, we're not going to win anything, I'm not saying they're shit but it's a different level, especially in the champions league, same if endo or robertson has to play at CB, against top teams they'll get found out.
We've lost
Jota (RIP)
Nunez
Diaz
3 of the 6 attackers, they all contributed and played often enough, we've signed Ekitike, and Chiesa hardly played (Still not sure what's going on with him either)
So really we've got 3 players that can play across the front (Not counting chiesa after last season, btw I think diaz is better than gakpo but heyho) , and others fill in like Wirtz even then we're missing out because his best role is AMC and frimpong on the RW but he's not a inside forward and let's see if bradley stays fit- Without isak yet, that front line is not better in quality or depth in my opinion.
Places we look short currently in, also the backup is very injury prone Gomez/Chiesa..
Interesting times, but if it goes how I think it'll go, I hope we get knocked out the fa cup & league cup early and have a good injury-free season (apart from the usual suspects, more chance of me winning the lottery) Midfield (Even though in future could do with a boss 6 still) and goalie positions fine so is LB/RB.. CB/forward line, nope.
