Alright, another season drawing to a close. For sure, given how bad our season is, riddled with Injuries, our squad needs heavy reinforcements at the same time dumping of deadwood that just can't do it for me anymore.
OUT:
ADRIAN - As much as he has done for us the last season, this season shows why the former West Ham Number 1 should be shown the door. Especially the 7-2 loss to Aston Villa, alot of the problems began to show. Kelleher has also stepped up to be the worthy number 2 Adrian should have been.
The 2 Joes: Gomez and Matip - Gomez's young, he's talented. However, my god, he along with Matip, are possibly the most injury prone centerbacks I have ever fking seen in my entire life. When fit they are good no doubt about it, but have they been able to be fit without getting injured for months after being fit for a few weeks? Enough said about it.
NABY KEITA - Since Thiago has arrived, Naby Keita has gone down the pecking order. Again because of his horrendous injury record, he has to go.
Georginio Wijnaldum - It is very likely that he may be released on a free, unless he is offered a new contract at the last minute. He has served the reds well and it would be a shame if he goes. Definitely he'll need a replacement when that happens. Although Curtis Jones can largely perform the same duties as Gini and Thiago and has proven to punch well above his weight, there are some people that are clearly better than Curtis.
Divock Origi - Apart from his heroics from the 18-19 Champions League, he offers nothing so he should go as other forwards are more deserving of fighting for their places. Already the forward line is flooded with Salah, Mane, Jota, Firmino, Minamino, Shaqiri.
MY TARGETS
IBRAHIMU KONATE - It's very certain that Konate would very well be signing with us. It's just a matter when. But I really hope this is followed up accordingly.
OZAN KABAK - For sure, he gets my nod for getting a permanent contract here, seeing how well he plays along with Nat Phillips during his loan spell prior to his injury. Please make it happen, Kabak and Van Dijk. Or Konate and Van Dijk. Would be quite deadly as a back pairing. Besides he would be better off here than suffering in turmoil in the 2nd Division now Schalke are relegated.
CHRISTIAN PULISIC - Chris has always been my target for the last few years, ever since the Yank was at Dortmund. He would be a perfect replacement for Firmino in the long term. And he's young, and will be well suited as an Attacking Midfielder, Winger, or Forward. Ideal swaparound for Minamino or Shaqiri should that be done. He may have indicated that he would fight for his place in the chelsea team, but he would be well better off with us. And with Klopp knowing how Dortmund plays and he also knows Pulisic, this would make sense.
HAALAND / MBAPPE / SANCHO - That is a must. Our forward line isn't getting any younger. So any young high profile signing is a big must. However if Pulisic and Daka are signed, then only then I'll drop this group.
PATSON DAKA - Always a good proven forward even at his young age, Daka is a cheaper alternative to Sancho. When he plays, he's an absolute thorn.
WIJNALDUM REPLACEMENTS:
YVES BISSOUMA - Brighton's Number 8 that can be a much more worthy number 8. Graham Potter has admitted that there can be every possible chance for Yves Bissouma to play Champions League Football next season.
RENATO SANCHES - Would be a tight competition, given how Lille are legit title contenders of the French Ligue 1. Like Yves, he's young and hungry for more. With Lille's financial difficulty due to the impact of Covid 19, Sanches will be the one helping the club to break even. Sanches would be a wise choice given he was fellow teammates with Thiago Alcantara in Bayern Munich. Given that he is only 23 means there's room for improvement but the fact even at this age he's been a full fledged Portugese International since as a teenager for 5 years says it all.
RUBEN NEVES - Given how good business we've been doing lately with Jota and Ki-Jana Hoever, I would love to jump in for Ruben Neves. He has a knack of scoring some pretty ridiculous long range beauties and ultimately a good young presser.
HOUSSEM AOUAR - Highly linked with Arsenal, the young French is a powerful Attacking Midfielder and would be great addition as well. 22 years of age, he'll be able to last for plenty long here.
DONNY V. D. BEEK - Frankly, why did Manchester United sign him in the first place if he's not going to be a regular starter? With Wijnaldum Leaving, why don't we just pry him off their hands?
The big change needed is that our squad needs severe reinforcement and more to the point, I need a new board like Shiekh Mansour, a board that is not afraid of spilling out the big cash often.
