Going in for Sancho? Thoughts?

we need to come to the stark realisation that 50million is not expensive (yeah i know, madness)

and that nobody is a "back up" par se unless they make themselves one.

Werner's advantages are he can play across the front line, he has a release clause, and he would suit klopp's plan.

The reality is though klopp picks the front 3 a lot because he trusts them, while this is true there are also many many games to play in a season and room for more thant just klopp picking from 3 then throwing in origi all of a sudden and hoping that cos its everton he will play well.

My view of next season:

section 1: league and league cup prior to CL start - klopp has always stuck with the front 3.

section 2: League and CL: this is quite a tough period where we need to scrap it out. theres need here imo of that squad.

section 3: before christmas - again klopp seems to rotate in this time and get a few a rest.

section 4. the mad festive fun. games flying in and a packed schedule.

section 5. the fa cup/ league cup semis. January is the killer.

Section 6. The CL restarts. a few more games. to play as it restarts and fa cup continues.

Section 7 the run in with latter stages of CL. again squad is a must.

If we want to flog mane salah and fimino into the ground fine, but for me we've had an issue for 18 months with shaqiri who's never fit and when he is is totally inflexible, can only play RW. I Like minamino but he needs time and origi is fine for what he does and when he's about it he can be quite good.

I'd buy someone personally. Someone who can compliment that current squad. I see 20-25 games there to be played and it'll push the others on too.

I bet people don't realise Origi's played some part in 20 league games so far and 4 CL games. some of thats just 5 or 10mins but if klopp had a "better option" do you not think he'd put them on with 25/30mins to go and keep the others honest?

The dream is mbappe but we'd lose on of the front three for that to ever even have a chance of happening.

Sancho likely same situation. Werner seems the only real option that comes and the front three stay.

we've only played it a few times, but if someone of a 'starter quality' was signed i could see more of the 4231 formation being played vs 'lesser' sides.

How do city keep sterling, aguero, jesus, bernardo, mahrez, sane all happy, they seem to rotate alot

also i think we near enough always play the same 3 because they are by far the best, as much as i like shaq and origi, they aren't on the same level

Pay them sheet loads of money per week?

I agree, top teams have top players. I think we need to get over this strong 11 malarkey and realise it's a squad game. I reckon Werner would be bang up for playing with us. Klopp factor and all that.

Yeah I don't get why people say someone would need to make way if Werner or someone else came in. We can quite easily rotate four players between three positions, and whichever one sits on the bench on any given week will likely play a part as a sub.

EXACTLY!

I would say we bought minamino on the grounds he could do the false nine role maybe next year or with a bit of work and he will be very happy to be along for the ride right now.

So if you buy say a werner or whoever you want him to rotate with mane and salah and try to keep them all fresher and more hungry.

again 38 league games. 4/5 in cups usually, minimum 8 in the CL and that'd be a bad season at 50 odd games. Add in going later in any cup and it goes up.

It is a 23 man squad game.

dortmund quote some place on bbc.

we don't by superstars, we make them.

sound familiar?

forget mbappe rubbish. he would need 500k to 1mil a week.

forget sancho. he's priced to destroy an oil rich clubs budget.

we will probably buy someone we've been watching for 2 years.

This is a load of old nonsense.

Doesn't fit the profile of the players we sign.
