Well the problem is that we need a strong first XI/squad that can play formations with both a back 3 and back 4.
Keepers
Yep all sorted here. Hugo, Vorm, Gazzaniga. Keepers - Done.
Defence
I'd say once we bring in Aurier then yes we are done here. With CCV going out on loan we needed Foyth to come in. In a 2 CB partnership you have Toby, Jan starting, Sanchez on bench. 3 CB partnership - Toby, Jan, Sanchez starting, Foyth/Dier on bench. RB/RWB - Trippier, Aurier plus KWP for cups - all good. LB/LWB - Davies, Rose - all good. Defence - Done (with Aurier coming in).
CMs
Wanyama, Dier, Dembele, Winks. Yeah fine by me. I'd imagine we did look to see if there were any viable options out there but I'm fine with what we have there. CMs - Done.
Attacking Midfielders
Well, again we have to have a squad/first XI that provides strength if we set up with either 2 or 3 attacking mids. In my opinion you want 4 good attacking midfielders plus a couple of fringe/young players. Eriksen and Alli are obvious starters. I rate Son and it is fine if we are playing with 2 attacking mids as he is a good player as backup/off the bench. But if we play with 3 that just leaves us with Sissoko and N'Koudou as options off the bench. And that is with a full strength squad! Neither are good enough imo. I actually think N'Koudou could be but obviously doesn't show enough in training based on how little game time he got last season. I would really love to sign an attacking midfielder that is as good as or better than Son. Would give us a great 3rd attacking midfielder on the pitch and one off the bench - "new player" and Son. If we did bring someone else in I'd be fine with one of Sissoko and N'Koudou going out on loan. Or Sissoko sold - wishful thinking. Forgot we have Lamela too, if he ever comes back from injury. So many question marks for me with Lamela, strange injury, long time out - no idea how he will perform so I think it would be smart squad wise to prepare for the possibility that he won't be as good as he was this first season back. Attacking midfielders - one more first XI quality, pretty please Mr Levy!
Strikers
I'm fine with Kane and Janssen. Would be great in fantasy world to bring in an amazing second striker to backup Kane but I honestly don't think you can get a top striker to join when all they will ever get, if Kane is fit, is a few minutes here and there and the odd cup start. If he goes, then we will obviously need to replace him. Strikers - Done.
So long story short, I think our squad is almost there for me. Just bring in Aurier and an attacking midfielder as good as/better than Son and we will do very well this season imo! The second one is very important though and I will be very disappointed if we don't bring anyone in before the window shuts.
