If we do sign Trippier and Digne, does anyone think we'll be playing with three at the back? Provided that we bring in another CB. A bunch of Ifs there. Occurred to me with the talk yesterday that Simeone had switched formations to accomodate Trippier.
Don't they need to sell before they can buy? I was under the impression that they hampered by FFP. Downgrading at left back at LB to buy players better suited to Rafa's tactics?
Those two are not the same. He is giving up the possibility of impressing with AC Milan. He is not giving up the chance of partnering with Van Dijk. I agree that AC Milan would be more tempting, but you've conflated two ntirely separate things.
