As a back up to Schar? I would hope so. Are Murphy and Miggy good enough for a team pushing top 4? Hall, Kelly, Schar, Trippier is a solid defence. Our right wing is an abomination.
I understand that, but we are buying a guy at his absolute peak price, a year early. We could buy a 22 year old CB and get him up to speed over the course of the season playing back up to Fabian. Then Kelly and Burn play LCB until Botman is back.
Still not fully understanding this transfer. I get the need for a CB, but a RW is much bigger need. I dont think its opportunistic either was we are paying a club record fee for someone if Botman was fit wouldnt start for us imo.
They would be losing their 3 best players in one summer, for a club who werent relegated or have money problems I cant think when that has happened before?
If we dont get into Europe then its a bad season so Howe would have to go imo. Squad wise we are as good as everyone outside the top 3 last year but have less games this year. We also have the 2 best players out of any of those teams.
Are they not waiting for someone to move for Eze? They cant really lose Eze, Guehi and Olise in the same window. Imagine we lost Isak, Bruno and Gordon in the same window the fans would go mental.
If Eze doesnt move then we get Guehi?
