Ange doesn't want to protect the defence, surely people get this by now. It's all out attack and nothing is going to change.

Considering we have 2 of the best centrebacks in the Premiership we leak goals and silly goals because with inverted fullbacks VDV and CR have to cover the fullbacks. That weakens us in central defence so we need a really good defensive midfield player to help them out. That will allow our attacking players more licence to get forward.

Barca face firesale hours before LaLiga starts with FIVE players not registered

Meh. Signing players who have to be dragged kicking and screaming from Barca or Real hardly ever works. Makes me think of that Di Maria quote where he said he was trying his best for Real and then they try and sell you to Tottenham.

In my dream scenario Barca pull out of the Williams deal due to FFP concerns and we make him our highest paid player. He would utterly transform us.

How so? Not exactly much more they could have done when a guy point blank refuses to leave his boyhood club.

We’ve had much bigger howlers in the market.

Not exactly much more haha

Maybe just maybe if they bidded for him earlier in the window they would have found that out rather than wait all Summer because this is exactly what you would have said if the shoe was on the other foot, you know what you would have said if we were in this exact same position.

This isn't tit for tat btw, generally they do better business than us on the whole but I had to point out the hilarity of you bigging up a rival and using them as a shining example how we should be operating only for said transfer to collapse, nevermind.

Maybe, but as I always say, they have a bit more slack considering the success they have had on the pitch as a result of their generally excellent recruitment.

And this transfer aside, I will still use them as an example of how we should operate.

Our recruitment methods are deservedly far more open to scrutiny and criticism.

Unfortunately, it looks like the scum are next in line. Personally, I think any of Williams, Bakayoko or Chiesa transforms our attack and all 3 can play both wings. Two of those instead of Werner would have been amazing.
