Is he right fit in a 433 though? Isn't he too offensive for that? Gives strong Madrid or Bayern vibes IMO but looking forward to see how he develops.
That's my only worry, would like to see Bosz play a 4-3-3 more often this season, but I don't think he'll struggle like Coutinho. Anyway, I need to see him confirm what I've liked seeing from him so far before I'm all in on signing him.
This is why I don't get why you want Neymar so much. Do you think we have money to go after this guy if we spend upwards of 100m on this Neymar this season?
For me it's a no brainer, keep the money for Havertz. He is the future not Neymar.
I do believe we need a consistent force on the LW that's better off the ball than Dembele and Suarez.
Despite all my Neymar propaganda since I started posting again I probably should have clarified that I don't want him at whatever it will cost. A fair deal where he takes a big paycut is what I'll sign off to.
Coutinho + Umtiti/Rakitic + 50m is a deal in my book. You could still fund the Havertz move with the sale of a couple of other players next year.
One more thing I haven't said on this forum yet, but talked about with some other current and former members here is Messi's salary. With bonuses included he makes 108m gross. That's with all bonuses included. That's an insane amount and I can understand if people believe he deserves it, but with his age and desire to win, he need to take a big paycut too if we want to remain competitive in his last years here.
