That's some good news considering the circumstances. But:
We are still weaker than last season, cause Dembele is not in the same level with Neymar yet.
Our midfield still sucks and iirc our board promised a star signing to reinforce our MF (can't see that happening)
We need to sell 3-4 useless players.
Barto still in charge.
Excellent. Now let us get rid of some players. I would not mind loaning Munir, but Douglas should be sold and if that is not going to happen then we should terminate his contract. Turan + Vermaelen hopefully they are going to find teams as well. If any new midfielder is coming then we need to sell another player.
If we actually paid 120m+30 relatively achievable variables for Dembele, we should buy Leon Goretzka on the cheap for the midfield. Cant go around splurging another 150m++ for a midfielder.
of course they could have paid the price dortmund was asking earlier.but you know this is barto.he wanted the deal done as close to 1st september (vote of no confidence) as possible. it has a better psychological effect on voters.
Team is still broken. Midfield is still not fixed. Before the end of last season, the number one position that needed to be addressed was midfield. We failed to get Veratti, still no Coutinho and unfortunately, we got Paulinho from China lol.
