Right I hate to be this guy, but I’m watching Benfica v Vitoria and we need to resign Marcus Edwards, swallow our pride and play him RW for a full season.
How did he play?

To be fair he'd be behind Ronaldo and Dybala at Juve, and Morata at Atleti. However, as you say, they'll offer higher wages and Juve offer a definite league title each year.And that also means that Milik is done in Napoli. Now it seems it's us vs Juve vs Atleti for him to sign. We probably offer worst money, worst individual deal and ensured playing in Kane's shadow.

There were reports he wanted a move to England, but there are always reports of that.
The excuse of 'playing back up' only seems to affect us. Chelsea have 3 strikers, not one is bothered about playing back up. Liverpool have 2 strikers, Utd have 2.. I guess it comes down to the fact they are willing to pay big dollar to have the sit on the bench.
Unless it was someone like Havertz who would start as a playmaker but be able to play up top if needed. He would probably be worth 60 million as he would solve 2 problems.Don't get me wrong, we do need a striker - but if we had £60,000,000 to spend, I'd much rather we looked to spend that on a DM and some full backs first.

Performance and quality-wise min-jae is far better than the other two. Trust me on this 90%
How did he play?
Ben Godfrey as well but no doubt we'll go for the cheapest option so likely Min Jae.So we are after one of Min Jae, or Ajer, or Kabak. Guaranteed we will pick the wrong one and he will perform like a lump of lard in our defence
I believe Totti does - check with himWatch a lot of the Chinese league do you?
Hopefully Skipp and Cirkin train on. Right back is the first priority I guess.But then we still have the problem of having Dier as a centre back, Davies and Aurier as our full backs and no defensive midfield with most of our budget gone.

I don't think we are going to sign a LB, Mourinho is happy with Davies in that position and we have Sessegnon, Cirkin and Tanganga as well. RB is the biggest priority of the defensive positions because we don't even have a Davies-level player in that position.
Mou praised Davies yesterday saying "I always know what he is going to do" which is exactly the opposite of Aurier.
Who to believe? Surely we wont sign two CBs?What a great signing this would be..
Personally, I think left back is more of a priority.
What I'd want in this order is a CDM, RB, ST, LB, GK, CB.
What we'll get is a winger and a new beer glass that fills up from the side.
