Raphina

[Rev72]

Hard to say Rev / the fee for Raph if the deal goes ahead is about 3.5 times what we paid so that seems good.

The KP one seems odd as if City were that desperate to sign him you would have thought we could get more but who knows what was going on behind the scenes. KP is an enigma a little in that in Bielsa’s system he was brilliant and he has been good for England but looked a little at sea in the JM system but he had been injured for months.

100m to reinvest in the squad is pretty good as that should find 3 or 4 quality young players.

If we get some of the following we have been linked with over the line the could be want we needed

De Katelere
Camara
Adams
Madueke
Broja
Gakpo

Definitely need a better LB too but those coupled with the three that have already been signed mean we look more solid in areas of weakness last year.

All of the players are young or younger too so have room to develop.

Further season of transition and survival ahead me thinks.

Looks like Everton are getting £60M for Richarlison, and let's not forget that Scum paid £80M for that donkey Maguire.

Just feels 15-20 million light to me.

Time will tell lads..time will tell!
