    Planning to invest and believing that "the squad is much better than what Ancelotti, Alonso and Arbeloa got out of it" are not mutually exclusive. Perez needs to go all in for Klopp, give up some of the control Klopp will want.

    We need to get rid of deadweight like Alaba, Carvajal, Ceballos,Fran Garcia and Camavinga.
    Franco isn't good enough and he might never be and neither is Brahim to start.
    Stop playing the 4-3-3 and focus on a 4 man middlefield.
    If Vinicius won't renew and even if he will we should consider selling him.

    Hopefully the World Cup produces something interesting to get Florentino to rise from his grave and ********ing do something.

    Selling is more important than buying right now

    the problem is not the lack of depth,shit bench etc,the problem is the atrocious starting 11.....starters need to be sold for this thing to move on

    Mbappe or Vinicius gone ,i want Mbappe gone obviously the guy is a scam ,Jude/Arda one if not both gone .....i dont care ,nothing of this work or will work

    Unless major sales in the starting 11 happen noting is going to change

    Perez should take charge and maximize the potential of this squad adn win all the cups & leagues-. Every year, I hear the same narrative with no progress. It would be better for Perez to leave the club with the positive legacy he has rather than tarnish his reputation.

    somethime i feel bad for commnet like above because we have so much gap in defense and people just only look at top line of our squad—we need to fix the defence and midfield first.

    There was an established hierarchy. It was a team that really hadn't won anything by 13/14 so they were hungry to do what it took to win.

    This group of players won important trophies while pieces of the old guard were still in place. The old guard is now gone and they are no longer truly hungry. They're good players for the time period but that means they still aren't consistent enough to do what the old guard did week in and week out but they get paid like the superstars of the 2010s. This leads them to get high on their own supply, overestimate themselves and turn a blind eye to valid criticism.

    Plus they're Gen Z so they hyper fixate on the facade and perception that social media provided them. If you act like you're the shit then you're the shit. I could go on and on.

    What's the point in getting depth in attack if you aren't going to sub out Mbappe and Vini with us still needing to figure out Arda and Bellingham? We already have Brahim and Gonzalo who will provide good performances throughout the season.

    This reminds me of that scene in Jackass where they do the stunt of putting fireworks on skates to see if it'll make them go faster. Naturally it doesn't work so they try it again and the camera man asks what Johnny Knoxville did differently this time and he replies, "We just put on more fireworks".

    I would start building from midfield. As bad as Vini and Mbappe have been in a lot of key moments, I still think we would have done well with a great midfield and better defence.
    I would start there before looking at the attack. Fix the spine of the team.

    The right midfield can help with the defensive issues, and actually contribute to making Vini and Mbappe much more effective. We need guys who will organise the team better so we can control matches.

    Get two great midfield profiles to line up next to Jude and Fede, things can improve drastically.

    Two CMs and a CB. That's where I'd start.

    Take your picks: Rodri, Wharton etc etc... + a top CB.

    Let's start there.

    Unless big names leave or accept bench role ,we can sign whoever we want but nothing is going to change .

    Rodri and Wharton come...Paz aswell ..who do we sell and who accept bench role....one of Jude/Arda need to be sold ....signing a right winger ...again a midfielder need to be sacrificed for the 4-3-3 if the 2 frauds up front stays .......signing a striker again one of the 2 need to leave

    An honest assessment of our existing midfield is the result in who we bring in.

    I wouldn’t pencil in any names to the starting 11 to be honest. All of them have significant holes in their games and we need to find the best combination.

    I’ve given up on the Mbappe-Vini experiment after 2 seasons and 3 coaches.

    Those two have never ever had a stretch when they both were on form. It’s usually one or the other which seems to indicate something fundamentally wrong with the player profile partership.

    The problem up front is that both Vini and Mbappe want to be the main guy. And that's how they play. Well, that's never going to work with both of them on the pitch. One guy has to accept his role is less about goals and glorious moments, and more about serving the team and the main guy with his effort and movement.

    Vinicius was doing this at the start of the season. I actually loved his level of effort. He used to score less goals, I think he was also positioned further from the goal, but we had structure and were winning. Thing is, we weren't great vs big teams, so argument can be made that in those games Vini should have been given a bigger role. The problem I see with that is that Vini does not like playing the second fiddle anymore like he used to do with Benzema.

    If you build around Vinicius, you do what worked in the past - left flank overload, cutting through balls for him behind defence, with rapid side switches via long passes onto the running right back. We have spread so many defenses like that in Kroos' last season. Thing is, you need good pressure-resistant players for that. Also a hell of a passer/orchestrator in the midfield. Arda may be the answer, but I am not 100% sure of that. Perhaps the new midfield transfer target could be. In this case Mbappe is playing Vini through and operates in spaces that Vini doesn't occupy - I.E. no pushing into the left side of the box constantly.

    If you build the attack around Mbappe, then Vinicius has to work for him, which means defending more and huging the line more, releasing the ball sooner and dragging defenders away from Mbappe. Thing is, we are losing an important asset like that in big games in Vinicius, and we've seen we were closed down easily by defences if Mbappe is neutralized. But, with a great right winger I think this issue can be overcome. We have not had a decent attacking option on that wing for a while now, that makes us predictable.

    Anyway, my point is this - Vinicius and Mbappe can co-exist. But one of them has to accept the support role. The reason why I'm a pessimist about these two ever working out is the egos involved, simple as. Given that's the case, I do think it's best to move on from one of them. Two years is enough. Hope died with two trophyless seasons.

    I'd give it one last go if we build the rest of the team better: midfield and defence.

    I'm tired of Vini's antics, but realistically right now, it might be really hard finding a top attacker.

    Who can you sign today:

    - Haaland? Kane...? Olise? probably not....Alvarez?...Osimhen?

    Not a lot of options...

    Our money is probably better spent in raising the floor of the team.... tons of defensive and midfield options available. Fix that and we probably win something.

    But wasn't this Xabi's fault? Why hasn't he renewed in the last 3 months?

    FYI Molina reported the same today. His agents have tried getting offers from European clubs but nobody is willing to meet his demands.

    Junior wants to be the highest paid player at the club even if it breaks the salary structure. I wonder what Perez does with this situation.

    Didn't Olise, Yildiz, Vitinha, Alvarez, etc all exist when the club kept telling us that "nobody convinces RM"?
