The ins are actually impossible.
It's mad how we need so many players yet no one is remotely nailed on to join. Normally you get the impression that at least one player is a certainty.
Either we're operating quietly behind the scenes or we're not yet operating at all.
...which is why we’ll sign Trippier instead(Snipped...)
3. Wan-Bissaka makes too much sense and Ole has gone to 3 at the back at times and AWB can presumably play as the right-sided center back with Dalot as the wingback
...which is why we’ll sign Trippier instead
Oh I agree.We should have signed Trippier instead of Spurs when he was cheap. He's basically a slightly worse Baines (not as clever in possession) and similar to Baines, he had no athleticism or aptitude to spare defensively, so his peak was always going to be a little early.
Hopefully Ole is too smart and Trippier goes to Napoli. It's impossible to believe signing Trippier and paying his wages wouldn't be better spent on some fullback 3-5 years younger in France.
Is that true? If Meunier costs 25 and AWB costs 45, the majority of that 20M difference or so should be covered by the wage difference between them over 3 years.
I think we can sign 4 players or even more of we end up selling Pogba, Lukaku/Martial.Out :
Pogba
Mata
Herrera
Sanchez
In:
Maguire
Meunier
Richarlison
James (D)
I actually don't think we'll get 4 though.
I imagine AWB to cost more than 45. Wage difference is completely unrelated to transfer fees available.
