Squad depth 2025-2026

Plus he’s got swag

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

SimplyThePest he just rarely seems to do much for us "on the ball". Players like that frustrate my imagination.

Don Pacifico

Qwiss yeah sure...but if you're specifically critiquing how we've done this summer, then to be disappointed that we're not buying even more players...I just don't think that's reasonable.

At some point, I think you have to be able to compartmentalise it as a mistake that happened in the past but what the club is doing now is right (caveat being that as mentioned, I have questions on the quality of recruitment but not the quantity). This is especially true when you've got new staff involved, this being Berta's first window.

Qwiss

Don Pacifico I think he's doing a great job of fixing last summers mistakes.

Qwiss phase 7 - nirvana

Sicario2

Everyone in agreement that we are one Eze signing away from winning the league?

JazzG

Sicario2 I think a top drawer LW would be what guarantees a title win but Eze will improve us.

banduan

We can win the league without him too, if Gyokeres lives up to the hype.
I mean, who did Liverpool have in their forward line other than Salah?

HomeSteak

banduan Other then the guy that got 29 goals and 18 assists(and went into vacation mode by March) no one.

banduan

he probably deserved that vacation

USArsenal

Well, i mean, they had Gakpo (18), Diaz (17), Jota (RIP 9), Szob (8), Nunez & McAllister (7)... Clearly Salah was their main guy, but there were others who scored some goals also. And they had already won the league by then, so....

JazzG
who are the top draw left wingers (no regard to availability)? i'm real interested in the quality of player that others see as the missing piece.

JazzG

Meatwad Someone like Barcola would be the dream signing. I really like Leao but he's too hot and cold at the moment to take a risk on imo.

Vini Jr is great going forward but also a real twat. I also like Gordon but I'd rather we sign an aggressive dribbler like Barcola.

Meatwad

JazzG
vini obviously would fall into that category of elevating this squad to definite title winners (even though i'm not really a fan). barcola has the potential, but he's not the missing piece this season. the guy who is keeping him out of the starting lineup at PSG, kvara is though.

Klaus

Vini is about two tiers above any other left winger in the world, don't see what makes him more twattish than your average Barca midget. I would have gone out of my way to sign Kvara last summer personally, but that train has truly left the station now. You snooze you lose. Berta arrived eight months too late.

I think we currently need a second striker type playing off the wing if we want to give 4-2-3-1 a shot, which I think we should. Eze really would be fantastic considering we now have a striker whose bread and butter is drifting out left.

JazzG

Klaus Oh he is a much bigger twat, see his behaviour over the Balon d'Or and on the pitch this entitled fucking nonsense makes me sick, love watching him play but acts like a right bellend. I get the impression even Real Madrid have had enough of his diva behaviour. I think he has a big entourage now and Real Madrid have even baulked at his salary demands, after the season he has just had he's not in any position to be making those kind of demands!

Meatwad Barcola imo has crazy potential, 21 goals he scored last season for PSG which is even more impressive that he was in and out of the team, he is only 22 years old as well.

Kvara would have been great but apart from PSG no club moved for him, supposedly his agent wanted crazy commission to make the deal happen which scared off a lot of clubs. HandOfOzil guy tweeted this a few months ago on his old account which he has locked so can't find the tweet. I think it was like €20m or something crazy like that.

Qwiss

Klaus Eze isn't a striker type though. In fact he's not really a winger at all. He's more of an AM who can play wide. Bit of a second decade Wenger type winger like Nasri, Rosicky, etc

Meatwad Kvara was a miss. We should have pushed in for him when he was on the move. Front like now would be as good as anyones.

JazzG why should Vini not ask for as much as Haaland or Mbappe? He already turned down even better money from Saudi. Real can try to hold out against it in the negotiations but he'd be stupid to go in their asking for less than that. Real already called him the best player in the world when they protested him not winning the Ballon d'Or.

RowJimmy

PSG and Real:

Mbappé (it's his best position)
Vini
Khvara

Doué
Rodrygo

Barcola

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

Kvara was the one.

JazzG

Qwiss Oh he can ask for what he likes but he is not on their level. Mbappe in a patchy season scored 44 goals for R.Madrid last season, this guy has it in him to be scoring 50 goals a season for the next 5 years for them if he keeps his focus.
