Villa finishing above us for ONE season does not make us a step down / sideways step.
Stop pissing on our club. We are a massive footballing institition and it’s time you showed our club the respect it deserves.

What about Gerrard, Lamps? Michael Owen won a Balon d’Or, surely he’d make a great manager, too.
Leadership is not measure by who can do the best flicks and tricks or score the most goals. It’s about communication and emotional intelligence.
I'm going by the results of last season.
If we are a massive football institution then we need to act like it, for starters win trophies, back managers with good players not with shite.
Oh shhhh...... By your logic Palace, Brentford & Fulham are all bigger and hold more appeal than Chavski.

Oooh! 7 pages since I last looked, we MUST have bought a CB!
No, don't spoil it for me, I'm going to read everything and catch up. BRB.

LMAO are you taking the piss. Yes, they finished above us this season - but on balance, we usually outperform Villa. It's not a step down in any way.
I find the prospect of signing Luiz and Gallagher utterly unappealing, when we have Sarr and Devine already here.
Difference is chavski have won trophies, they've won the CL in recent years and still have huge spending power to get into the top 4. We don't have spending power to get into the top 4, we've got Kane ready to leave and we have a new manager unproven at this level, in reality we're looking at not sinking down even further.
We usually out perform Brighton too right? where do you think we will finish with largely the same set of players and no Kane?
Wouldn't Bentancur also be a good 6 in this system?

Skipp
Sarr?

Tanguy/Lo Celso
Loads of options there and very flexible!
Front 3 look good too, now just go and get some CB's!
Lenglet?
He's not a 6.
Bentancurs best quality is his pressing. He's a dream for one of the 8 roles in this team. Never a number 6. It'd be a waste.
That’s the reason his reputation took a hit at Juve to begin with.
We are
Bentancur and Biss are ideal 6s. Don’t think either have the offense punch we’re looking for in the 8s
Hojbjerg and Skipp are the only players in our squad capable of playing that 6 successfully behind Bissouma.
If we sell Hojbjerg, it's pointless getting Gallagher or Veiga in. Because they're both 8s. It'd also leave us ridiculously short because I don't think Skipp is cut out to start (good depth) and Bissouma is going AfCON in Jan.
I don't understand anyone who sees Bentancur as a 6.
