I’m always a pessimist, so I think we can win the league again, but it won’t be anywhere near the walk in the park it was last year, I think this season will be A LOT closer with more teams involved than just us and City, and not because they are better, just I can see us and City not performing to the same heights...
We definitely need a new striker, Origi will do for a substitute, but if anything happens to Bobby I wouldn’t want him starting every game, plus I think we could just benefit from having someone a little more direct than Bobby in certain situations/games, someone who’s only instinct is to score.
I’d say maybe a CB, although I still think Matip next to Virgil is a good mix, and Gomez, although can be suspect at times, has the pace against the quicker teams. So maybe not a massive need, but would be welcome, especially if they are already established and relatively young.
And if possible, I’d love another wide player, I feel like there could be times this season we are going to be frustrated by Salah or Mane at certain times because of the highs they have got us accustomed to, so a solid young, also relatively established wide player would be good to keep it fresh, would have loved Ferran Torres but obviously that’s a no now.
And if Thiago IS going for the rumoured £35million that’s a no brainier, get him in.
