Strootman could have been a good option last summer.. This summer I expect certain names that can give us this leap of quality
Pobga - Probably cant happen..
SMS - I think he`ll arrive for a big fee
Fabinho - Not as good as the former two but he could boost us too with his abilities
Can is coming for free (if he does come) - He isnt WC but I guess he is what we want...
for wide positions Martial would be good and so does Di Maria even if he isnt exactly a teenager anymore..
Griezmann will probably prefer Barcelona but even if he doesnt - It wont make any sense getting him if Dybala remains (as we have bigger problems in our team than just the front 3..)
RB Bellerin - I wouldnt mind his speed but arent we spending too much for a RB?

I get this feeling that half the team is getting a tryout right now to see what all we are replacing for next season. Cuads,Rugani,Barza,Bentancur,etc. Isee a lot of movement in the mercato. Cuads could be the answer to our rb situation possibly as long as we have a good player behind hinm defensively

Im not his biggest fan to be honest. Though i think there is a difference between performance and ability in the sense that some players might be performing poorly but they have the potential and ability if a few factors work in their favor to develop into good players. Bellerin fits that description IMO, he is still young, he has enough raw ability, physical especially to potentially develop into a solid fullback. That being said, hes been very average for us in the past few seasons, he makes too many ny mistakes defensively and going forward his end product is very inconsistent. I spend a lot of Arsenal games throwing abuse at him.

One thing to keep in mind though is that hes homegrown, in comparison to our other hg players he is a star, so im sure we will do everything in our power to keep him a nd rightfully so despite his flaws.

he played in 21 games this season, no idea why he plays so little lately, especially since they lost the league ages ago
He's averaging just 29 minutes per game in Liga. Not sure he'll stay at Madrid if they decide to buy midfielder, they might sell or loan him.

I think hes a good fullback thats just unlucky PSG got Alves, still he plays well whenever given the chance. Obviously ive only watched him for one season as a regular starter. Hes better offensively than defensively imo.
How would you compare him to say Bellerin?
