We have Kelly and Burn who can play LCB, Guehi is better than both but not a required upgrade imo.
Botman will not be back this season imo. Mings did his 12 months ago and isn't ready yet.
I've done the same, I'm confident though, aiming for a top 50k finish this year.
Can Haaland really play 2 games a week for an entire season? Alvarez played a lot of minutes last year.
I agree, but why buy now at his absolute peak if we are letting him replace Schar who is going to be solid this season.
Again I dont think its a bad signing, but we are buying a guy at his absolute peak based of an international tournament. Just doesn't seem overly smart.
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.
