    I look at players like Mikel Merino and Youssouf Fofana as replacements for Jorginho and Partey. We need a replacement of an 8 like Ramsey / Cazorla type player, players like Enzo Millot, Mahdi Camara, Amankwah Forson, Quentin Timber, Michael Folorunsho and Gabriel Sara to name a few.

  • @mfundosabela5445

    To George. I understand that Calafiori doesn't immediately solve the LHS by being an Overlapper but if we are talking of him becoming the Ben White of the LHS can he not develop into that. Ben White didn't arrive as the player who he is now, be grew into that Role and I feel certain that Calafiori can do the same as well. He has the best attributes and qualities to become that. Davies might seem like the immediate fix but he lacks of defensively. CB to Fullback is what Arteta seems to be after eg. Gvardiol

    Given the midfield transformation that needs to happen over the summer and January transfer windows, Merino isn't a player I'd like to see come in this summer. I think we need a more impactful/elite player to partner Rice. So we'd have Rice, (new elite player), Jorginho as the 3rd choice. With Party being sold. Then I'd like to see a new 3rd choice join in Jan giving him half a season to adapt as we phase out Jorginho.

    Think it's maybe interesting to say if we did go through with Merino, Tierney could be involved in a swap deal potentially, but looking at it from Real Sociedad's perspective Le Normand is likely leaving, wouldn't be surprised to see Kubo leave (although he massively fell off after his great start), Zubimendi is constantly linked away so they will be reluctant to let him leave

    Bring Merino in with Onana and I believe that ticks a lot of boxes. Both rotate for the LCM this season. Long term, Onana deputies Rice at 6, but plays with him when we face transition monsters like Madrid, Bayern, etc. Merino eventually replaces Jorginho/Elneny in the dependable backup/3rd choice role. Perfect space for a top LCM in the future.

    For me when I look at City, closing that gap is the most FUNDAMENTAL ASPECT of the coming season. We simply can’t fail this coming season.
    So my dream is to absolutely destroy City with terror and get Five Players;
    1. Musiala or Olmo
    2. Nico Williams
    3. Merino or Ugarte
    4. Calafiori
    5. Lunin
    Forget about a striker! Goals ARE NOT the reason we didn’t win the league. No6 is where we lost it. All the points we dropped was when we played Rice. People don’t talk about this, but you’ve seen how he plays no6 for England. You can’t come close to City with that performance over 38 games! He’ll be polished slowly. But upgrade and get a better no6.
    Musiala can play no8 when we use Rice to just sit without too much responsibility to be a deep lying playmaker. Odegaard and Musiala can rotate to pick the ball from deep.
