Good post mate, and to all that replied. I agree with almost everything you all said however, if Willian goes I think we need to push for bailey and no one else. Although zaha is good he’s not world class, bailey has potential to be and we need to snap him up before anyone else does and his price sky rockets.
As for the courtois situation, I do see him leaving and I’m not sure who we’ll replace him with but they have to be class. Allison seems to be the front runner which I’m unsure about as he didn’t have a great World Cup, compared to courtois who was excellent, but if the Brazil manager picked up over edereson every game he must be good
Jorginho I’m happy about, especially as we stole him off city as it shows we are ready to fight for players now which has been a major problem in the past. I personally think he should join a 3 man midfield with Kante and RLC/ Golovin (rotated)
The full backs are a problem, and we do t seem to be interested in replacements. Alonso is great as a wing back but I can’t see him being good as a lb and I still don’t see Emerson as a good player, granted he had a lack of playing time, I don’t see his qualities. Moses has been good but will struggle defensively at rb, I’d love Azpi to play there in a 433 but I feel like we may remain as 3 at the back
Finally the striker. I would love icardi more than anyone up front, he’s young, scores bags of goals, and has potential to be one of the best in the world. We need to spend big on a proven striker and not someone like Morata who had 3 years on different teams benches. Higuain I’m not keen on but I won’t conplain if we do sign him but I’d prefer icardi to anyone else.

Good post, don't be worried about the fullbacks - they aren't the best in Europe but they can hold their own. There's so much potential to improve esp when the football is attacking.
