You know what's meant by it tho.
So your dream scenario would be playing Traore and Kolasanic on the same wing with Lukaku up front?

Fkin hell lad, its a tongue in cheek comment, yeah I may have misattributed a comment to you that isnt yours.If you read my post then you'd see that is absolutely not the case, I'd suggest you go back and read it. Thanks.

Tbh Id agree with most of what you have to say about needing balance and the stuff you have to say about needing more technical ability, but I think the balance in your team is still lost with a few of your selections and some just impossible to get like Maddison. Think Pepe is a bit strange in your ideal lineup as while he has pace he rarely seems to use it alongside his requirement to be played in and around the box. And how come ESR isnt in the squad, kid has good technical ability and while he isnt physicially imposing he has good balance and is great at pressuring players and tackling, nevermind his passing and dribbling.
Would you not go with Esr because of his consistency as first choice, hes been excellent in almsot every match hes played in, same with Saka despite a small lull towards the end of the season. Those 2 would be my nailed on starters and the rest would get to rotate with them. Whats the realistic alternative to Maddison?ESR is in the squad, just not good enough to be a constant starter. Saka, Pepe, Maddison, Martinelli and ESR would rotate between the 3 positions behind the striker. Perfect blend of players and backups.

Yeah, whether or not ESR is first choice or not we definitely need at least another player that can do what he does. I do think he'll be scoring and assisting a lot more next season, hell have a nice rest this summer and be coming back fully fit in to a good pre season where the manager sees him as a legitimate option which is a world apart from last season.If ESR can start consistently scoring and assisting from midfield then of course. But I can't see that happening, love the kid, plenty of room to grow, but we can't be relying on him and Saka as first choice starters. Look at Foden at City as a brilliant example, we need another signing in that area. Also if ESR gets injured we're pretty stuffed and back to square one.
Realistic alternatives are guys like Pereira from West Brom, Ødegaard, De Paul, there's a lot of players in that sort of bracket. My number one choice is Grealish, number two is Maddison.
ESR saved Arteta's job lets not forget. He begins the season in the starting lineup deservedly, no matter who we sign.
Nice spin, fair play.And who decided to play ESR? "But but but"
Nice spin, fair play.
So... how much do we think Kalvin Phillips is worth after today's performance? Asking for a friend.
around 60m? I'm sure that's what Pep is about to pay for him.
Pep can't buy both Graelish and Phillips, surely.
They'll move enough players this window. If Sterling moves, that in itself pays for it. Bernardo Silva as well.
