Defense is an area we definatly need to improve, we are the worst team in Europes top leagues in defense. But Davies is not realistic.

Which is 99% on our shambolic midfield??? Don't think we can improve - on paper - on the likes of Araujo, Kounde, Christensen, Balde, Cancelo...

Defensively we're likely to be improve pretty drastically under a new coach. Our midfielders play basically without any positional disciplin. We sacrifice all shape and structure in favor of this erratic indiscriminate pressure.

We have no positional mids mate. A new coach won’t change that.

Davies rumours is based on meeting his agent, could possibly be driving the price higher or actually interested in a prospect for B team and media has no clue.

No, our defense has no depth, lacks quickness centrally with exception of Araujo and even last year we were very vulnerable defensively when the team wasn't playing Conservatively.
It needs a lot of work tbh.

Our left and right wing defence is horrible and its mainly becouse of lack of quality players.
Balde is not near good enough.
Cancelo is good in attack but weak in defence.
Kounde has been horrible as CB aswell.
Alonso and Inigo are way past it.
Even Araujo has not been good against better oponents and its imo a bit overrated.
Its impossible to have a good midfield and attack if your constantly in fear or conceding goals due to bad defence.

But yea we desperatly need a GOOD DM, not a 34+ year old.
AND a proper LW.
AND a good striker (not sure about Roque tbh)

Until then were doomed to be a midtable team buying scraps that will play in Europea League every year.
Which with our economy is the most likely scenario.

Davies has been fairly horrible as well in recent times. Makes no sense to throw away Balde for a new toy with the same issues. As far as it stands Balde had one good and one bad season. No way to judge a player, but that's the fickle fanbase/club culture I suppose.

Investing good chunk of your transfer budget into Davies while talking about improving defense. Some things just don’t go together.

We’ve got bigger priorities, starting with a DM.

@FabrizioRomano: "The agent of the Davies was in Barcelona but at the moment, I’m not aware of concrete negotiations with Barça. They have Balde in that position and Alphonso wants an important salary, either from Bayern with a new deal or Real Madrid or any other club. So, for Barça it’s really complicated to offer that."

Wouldn't make sense unless Mendes was working on getting an important offer for Balde.

With our financial position and the rumours of the measly offers we are getting for Frenkie (60m mark) then I wouldn't trust we will make any big sales.

Now with all this Davies talk. Perhaps we are missing the greater detail. That is, if Flick is our next manager, the question should be if he can bring out the Davies in Balde. Davies played his best football under Anders Flick while Balde last season showed that he has a world class level in him to unlock.
