Don't like the way this is shaping up. We could very easily end up being weaker in defense and attack. Losing Trippier and potentially Rose, would 100% leave us weaker and the loss of Llorente and Janssen also makes us weaker depth wise in attack.
I think its necessary to get Lo Celso and another elite attacker as we are seriously lacking goals. We went from scoring 86 goals when we finished 2nd to 74 goals when we finished 3rd and now last season even further down to 67 goals finishing 4th. That is a 19 goal difference that probably accounts for an additional 15 to 20 points easily and now with an even weaker defense those goals are going to be even more important.
