So, would everyone be happy with this summer?
Kerkez
Frimpong
Huijsen
Cherki.

70% happy, we need a midfielder. Slots reluctance to use Endo and Elliot is clear to see and probably justified.
Also no Replacement for Darwin Nunez? I am okay with Diaz and Jota but Jota is unreliable to say the least!
13 May 2025 11:58:47
with two forwards likely to leave, we need 2 forwards and a proper goal scorer .
13 May 2025 11:59:30
Absolutely not
Not enough!
We got lucky with big players not getting injured mostly
Ok alisson was out for a bit
But jota is annoying
And we never used Chiesa enough or Elliott or quansah which means they ain’t good enough
We need more.
13 May 2025 12:03:23
Not with Kerkez KC because for me you can't have to attack minded FB's. So I would sign a more defensive LB such as that Ajax player who I cannot remember his name sorry.
13 May 2025 12:05:01
No, we need a striker and midfielder too.
13 May 2025 12:08:25
We need more than one central midfielder or Gravenberch would have similar faith to Fabinho (Retiring at 29). No bull with Tylor Morton or Bajectic. We need top quality addiions in the central midfield.
And where is the striker? another season with Nunez lol.
13 May 2025 12:16:32
OP. Not enough as no strikers there.
How about
Cherki
Huijsen
Frimpong
Sesko
Cunha
LB
CM - ideally Cammavinga.

Striker priority.
13 May 2025 12:45:48
A proper goalscorer like Mohammed Salah you mean Johnny? If only we had one of those.
People need to understand that if we signed Isak we wouldn’t score more goals. Salah would just score less goals.
Salah has been at the top of the scoring charts year in year out for 8 years. If he was a number 9 we’d all call him the best striker in the world. Whilst Salah is playing there is no room for a ‘20 goal a season striker’. Our main source of goals is Salah and he does a damn fine job of it too.
13 May 2025 13:23:04
Hato / Frimpong / Huijsen sorts the defence out for me. Also gives us options as Frimpong can and has played further forward and Hato can play CB as well as LB
I think we are good in midfield - front 3 very good and McConnell looks good and Bajetic to come back plus Elliott, Jones and Endo - they perhaps weren't used a lot, but you could rotate 1 in for one of the starting 3 and not lose in quality
We do need strikers though - Jota and Nunez could/ should go this summer so 2 would be required.
13 May 2025 13:32:39
Yes Robbolostlegs we still need to future proof and cannot rely on an ageing salah to be our main goal scoring output. His creativity is increasing, so if we can add a top 9 I think that would make our attack much more balanced on the whole.
13 May 2025 14:02:51
Need to wait and see if any/ all are likely. Based on Ed1's assessments, no.
13 May 2025 15:48:13
what about all the chances Nunez and Jota miss then despite Salah being our main source of goals.
How does that happen?
13 May 2025 17:25:49
For those who want 6 signings do you "really" see FSG spending 180-200M+ the summer after a league trophy not matter what outgoings are?
13 May 2025 22:52:02
All the chances JK? I must’ve missed those.
Nunez hardly ever plays to miss any chances and I can’t remember the last time Jota had a chance of note.
If Nunez scored all of his good chances he’d have an extra 4 or 5 goals this season. People talk like he misses 5 sitters a game.
