I would say THAT'S our most important position to strengthen!!

We were leaking goals left to right this past season, mostly because our back 4 didn't get enough protection from central midfield. Mostly in transition.

We can't keep haggling on with Biss, Skipp, Hoijbjerg, if we want to put pressure on the teams above us.

Sure yes we need wingers too, but there's a lot we need.

It won't happen, but i will list what we need if we want to put pressure on the big clubs.

1. 1 high calibre midfielder (defensively and tactically strong)
2. 1 striker to compete with Richy
3. 1-2 wingers, better than we got
4. 1 goalkeeper (completion for Vic)
5. 2 new fullbacks (competition for Porro/Udogie)
6. 1 CB

You're welcome!

Gray is a #6. Bergvall is #6/#8

I'd be happy with just the two forwards tbh, biggest priority.

Neto + Doue completely changes our threat from both flanks. No reason we can't get it done. 100m needs to go on frontline.

6 + LCB cover would be nice but not as urgent as sorting the forward line.

Agree. Surely Drag is the CB cover - assuming Gray covers RB with Davies as fourth choice CB and 3rd LB after VDV / Udog

I don't think Gray was that hard of a pull. He said it himself, his family are Celtic fans, like he is, and Ange was a factor as well as Spurs looking like they're going places.

Bergvall still surprises me to this day - but I also wonder how much of Barcelona being a mess swayed him. Plus, the game time we supposedly have promised him.

Whilst it's likely we will promise Doue the same, I think there's a gap in that PSG front line for Doue now that Mbappe has gone and all it takes is for Luis Enrique to give that vision to Doue. And I don't think Doue is comparable to those other two.

We just have to hope that he is happy to see us as that stepping stone to a bigger club. (unless of course we achieve greatness when he's here)

I mean, if PSG tell Doue he is the Mbappe replacement then it's likely all over for us, yes.

They are chasing a Kvaratshkelia or Leao player for that position though. Unless they just lie to the player that is.

They are both 18, right?

I'm Swedish, and follow the Allsvenskan. The league is crap, and Bergvall is NOT a #6!
He's mostly used at any of the attacking midfielder positions. And personally i don't think he has exactly set the league alight

Huge talent tho.

He might be saying 6 as I think his manager said that was his future on some quotes.

Bergvall and the director at the club he's coming from said they see him as a #6 mate. Not my analysis. I guess maybe you know Bergvall better than he knows himself because you are Swedish?
 
Am I the only one thinking that I doubt we'll sign Doue because of Mikey Moore.

Don't get me wrong having both here would be great and excellent future planning.
