What's new

English Premier League - Previous Seasons

The transfer window opens proper on 1st july i think that is when van dijk will tell the saints he wants a move to liverpool so he will be next.Apparently PSG bid 135 million euros for mbappe and they rejected because not want to sell to direct rival.If we want mbappe he will cost i reckon between 90 to 100 million what a statement that would be to pool fans from fsg about them being serious to challenge on all fronts.We got the money because not big net spend over last few transfer windows and with the new tv deal.
hmmm
But 100 million for Mbappe will be crazy i think. He is good but THAT good? Would prefer if we spend that amount on a striker 60-70 mil plus a back up for the attack line. The defence transfers need their own budget allocation.

Next couple of weeks will tell.

I agree with what you say he only 18 and plays in french league which not the strongest.We should hijack arsenals bid for lacazeete or increase bid for aubameyang he 28 now at his peak and will bang in the goal he will still cost around 70 million and like you said could use extra money for filling up the squad
 
Looks mouth watering indeed.

Since we'll probably never agree with what our attack will look like but the lineup I predicted for next season looks mouth-watering to you here's a question:

Imagine we sign a striker capable of scoring 20+ goals a season, an Aubameyang, Lacazette or Icardi. Now here's the catch: How are you supposed to play him in our starting XI, considering Coutinho, Firmino, Mané and Salah will start as well? What might be worth considering is that Salah can play as a No. 10, second striker and even played as a striker for Roma when their main goalscorer Dzeko was dropped. Should've asked this question earlier but never mind.

We need to Rotate between:

Firmino/New Striker/Sturridge when fit upfront.
Firmino (when not playing as a striker). Salah, Mane and Coutinhio behind the striker

This is what i am saying. We cannot rely on back up substitute players. Need first team players to be competing and to be rotated in these spots since we are going to play lots of matches and should aim for trophies.

If you can read this article posted a few days ago you will see how it raises many points that you too have pointed out and also explains why i am saying what i am saying.

Another article I've found.

Having a specialist striker capable of scoring 20+ goals as the focal point of the attack ≠ better goal tally guaranteed.

To give you a bit of perspective, Liverpool's highest goalscorers in 2016-17 were Coutinho and Mané with 13 goals each, yet Liverpool finished the season as the fourth-highest goalscorers with 78 goals. United's best goalscorer was Ibrahimovic with 17 goals (not 20+ but my point still stands) and they had the worst attack in the Top 6 (54). Everton's Romelu Lukaku was the second-highest goalscorer in the league with 25 goals and EFC only notched 62 goals.

Having multiple goalscoring threats is key as overreliance on only one proficient goalscorer is actually THE receipe for disaster you were talking about, Arsalan. Take a look at our 2014-15 campaign when Sturridge was out for many months.

At the moment looking like we going to miss out on keita and vvd.This was a window where we had a chance to really improve squad with quality because of champions league.Will not be happy if the only signings made are the players salah solanke and robertson.

Agreed!
I would have loved another goal scoring option and a solid defender. RObertson is a good addition but would want at least one more reliable option. VVD would have been great but with doubts about him should have checked some other guy as well and secured him.
Regarding Naby Keita, LFC seem to be doing all the could with the latest bid of 82 Million Euro submitted. There is only so much in our control.

TRUE for once we were willing to pay top price for players.Just our luck that clubs are not selling.Still hope vvd will somehow go through him and Matip will be great cb partnership

I think we still have time and should start working out some other options for back four rather than sitting tight and hoping for VVD deal to go through. There are other options available that should be checked. Should not waste more time on a deal that may not happen and then the lack of a solid defender may come back to bite us later on.

You are spot on we need a cb to partner matip because lovren is not good enough.The amount of points dropped last season because of silly mistakes cannot be repeated this season.We seem to be willing to spend so hopefully we other players on our list
 
@Arryn Mohammad Salah is showing signs of great talent. It seems as if he have turned a page since that time at Chelsea. I stand corrected. He will get us some good goals hopefully.

The chances of bringing any other new goal scoring option as a striker of Attacking MF are also fast ending. Lets see what the season start have in store for us.

His linkup play with Coutinho really is encouraging. Goals shouldn't be a problem as both he and Mané have end product (which Lucas Moura, one of the alternatives you suggested, lacks).

Solanke has been impressive so far as well. May be a lacklustre signing to some but since he never got a chance to prove his worth at Chelsea one could be forgiven for thinking that.
