Agree with Bertus that we should strive for having 2 world class (or at least good players) on each position. Our ultra-thin squad is a disaster waiting to happen. If we are not as lucky as we have been this season in terms of injuries, what do we do when somebody is out injured for a long time? Crying? Praying?
FCB's suqad is in need of reinforcements (nobody has denied that) but FCB is irrelevant in this discussion. We are talking about RM and more specifically their right back position. Carvajal is a top dog that IMO is the better player than Danilo. The Brazilian is almost the exact carbon copy of Carvajal. Similar age group, similar level, potential, playing style etc. Why spend 35 million euros on a position that is already well covered when you could buy plenty of other players that could do the required job (push Carvajal to get better andperform decently when he is injured/suspended) for less money and who would most importantly be in a different stage of their careers and who would be less prone in terms of complaining due to lack of playing time, earn less money etc. That expenditure (transfer fee + salary) used for Danilo could be spent on areas that really needed strengthening.
People thinking that 23 star players of equal level in a squad and substitutes of a similar level to the first team players is realistic or a way to built up your team are seriously deluding themselves.
And no, I am still not butthurt and already explained why that is. I won't be butthurt either if RM buys Hazard tomorrow and keeps Bale and Ronaldo.
