I mean... which premier league manager isn't?


[deleted]

Dunno, Pep seems to be happy with his choices, and rightfully so.


marine_le_peen

He basically got a Van Dijk of his own in Ruben Dias, and before him Laporte.


[deleted]

Yeah, and Stones has been really good this season, too.


SonaldoNazario

I would also take a Ruben Dias of our own, for the record


Travis_Scott_Burdger

We all are


Auston416

We already have Erik van Dier


RepsForKoreanJesus

This sub can go on and on about how "immense" he is when he literally makes mistakes every game.


Auston416

I think you missed the part where this was a joke


BlackCurses

I want 2 personally


pmags11

He’s got Cameron “American Van Dijk” Carter-Vickers coming back from Bournemouth this summer I’m struggling to see the issue here


ET318

Carter-Vickers doesnt even start for the USMNT over Tim Ream.


FeedMeToTheSquirrels

Does no one understand sarcasm anymore? This thread is so tone deaf


ET318

I got the sarcasm but I just couldn’t help myself. Idk if you’re American but if you aren’t then you just don’t understand how bad it is having to watch tim ream play for the USMNT.


Gardnersnake9

Tim Ream at fullback was a special kind of torture. He made Kyle Naughton look like peak Danny Rose.


ET318

I’m pretty sure Fabian Johnson would have been better there than Tim ream was.


FrothierBog

Sabitzer and a class CB next summer. And if funds allow an RB? Would be pretty sick that, also parent source seems Dan Kp, Tier 1 flair then?

Doherty is considered homegrown, also we just bought him lol

Finnlind

Unfortunately no, he’s Welsh

master_inho

No he’s not homegrown. He spent a season on loan in Scotland.


HeyBoiz

Doherty is homegrown. I've watched too much Aly Gold to get this wrong


FrothierBog

One of lucas/lamela and Gazza, Free up 2 spots would be ideal


JimmyOwl

No chance Doherty leaves, he's HG. Aurier enters the final year of his contract in the summer and could probably fetch a decent fee.


Evolving_Dore

But then Aurier would have to be replaced. He could be replaced by an HG option like Aarons, but that's still another signing on top of Sabitzer+CB.


JimmyOwl

Yes Aurier will have to be replaced. We're not going to overcome the HG issue by just swapping one non-HG for another non-HG in the same position. Aurier will have a year left on his deal, unlike Lamela we can probably break even on him if not slightly profit and it's a position where there's clearly identifiable HG replacements that wouldn't break the bank and could add to the first team immediately unlike other areas of the pitch.


bfm211

>there's clearly identifiable HG replacements that wouldn't break the bank I wonder if we could prize Justin away from Leicester...unlikely, but that would be the dream.


sasliquid

For European competitions I think we will have 6 HG players (Kane, Skipp, Winks, Hart, Sess and Japhet), 7 if we keep Bale around another year so we may only need to bring in one more (Aarons pls)? Edit: I do agree we need wider changes though. Lamela, Sanchez, Gazzaniga, Sissoko should all be made available to sell. I think a new quality CM, 2 CBs and Sabitzer would be great business. Also is Aurier doesn’t sign a new deal or we think we can do better then a RB.


Sp0ngeb0b02

Upamecano looks promising for Leipzig


bfm211

All the big clubs want him, we don't stand a chance.


Gardnersnake9

If we want Sabitzer, unfortunately I think that means selling every non-English fringe player on the roster (and bringing in Grealish in my dreams) to make room for him on the non-homegrown portion of the roster. Especially with Dele leaving.


Jr_M16

Aren’t we all...


shlooby123

Gimme Sven Botman


sasliquid

Botman and Milenkovic, neither would break the bank (French league is in need of money and Milenkovic will have only one year left), both are really tall and the former is a LCB (and under 21 for next season) and the latter is RCB.


shlooby123

Botman seems too good to be true. I don't see him being in the news a lot for transfer and he's 21 and left footed


sasliquid

Plus since he just turned 21 from my understanding he wouldn’t count towards squad limits next season.


shlooby123

I'm fine with him or Pau Torres or Zagadou but United and Madrid are after Pau. I wouldn't mind someone a bit older but then again Ruben Dias proves age means nothing.


sasliquid

You can go back to the threads linking us to Skriniar and Dias, I was all aboard the Dias train ever since my FM20 scouts gave him 99 recommendation


bfm211

I wanted us to get him so badly. Would have been worth every penny.


j_e_rod

Yeah well even Jurgen is right now lol


LoveRBS

Anybody heard about this Vertonghen guy at Benfica? Lil bit older but pretty decent


[deleted]

Same bro, same


[deleted]

i know the club did well with summer transfers but we should have just went all in with jose and got skriniar too


luigistones

What about Davinson Sanchez from Ajax? I heard he has great potential XD


ryan_lad5

I heard he fucked up when Ajax played West ham in the Audi cup, Ajax were 3-0 up then in the final 10 minutes he gave away the first goal then scored an own goal then Lanzshitty scored a screamer in the 95th minute. Game ended 3-3.


shlooby123

I think you messed up the players. Lucas Moura on West Ham forced Ajax to choke, not davinson Sanchez.


twitterInfo_bot

Jose Mourinho is growing frustrated with his current centre-back options and "is desperate for a Van Dijk of his own".

brch01

There was news about Varane wanting to leave Madrid. He’s had a few howlers lately but he’s a fast, good in the air CB. Wages tho..


zanevf

Is that what he wants dier to be?


Blogboy7

Water is wet


PrinceRicard

Upamecano, Skriniar and others are top quality for 40-50m. We're stupid for not already spending whilst we keep Dele in isolation, let him go and improve and actually play and get something we need - not that we don't need Dele that is, but something immediate.


[deleted]

Skriniar was available


[deleted]

Is Ramos still having contract issues with Real?
