An idea has crossed my mind a few times, a naughty one, as it is as impossible as it is bold, but I would still like to hear your stance on the matter:
Would you, If given the opportunity, spend our entire Summer transfer kitty on two players only if those were Kylian M'bappe and Kasper Dolberg?
I mean, yeah obviously we need squad depth, we need a LB we need a central defender and probably also a few midfielders. But given the circumstances we'd probably not be able to buy anyone else should we break all our records and sign these wonderkids, unless we sell first.
£100M seems more and more likely for M'bappe knowing his suitors and his pure awesomeness.
Dolberg won't come cheap either, in the region of £30M - £40M should do the trick. For the sake of it, let's just say that's about £150M for the two or thereabouts (incl. sign-on fees and everything).
So would you do it?
I'd take that deal without blinking an eye..
Yeah, we'd then might have to endure another season with some stop gap solutions and some not-quite-top-standard players out there from time to time, but on the other hand we'd have two of the arguably hottest teenage-sensations in our squad that would add goals galore and extreme amounts of talents to the team. As well as hype.
So take a deep breath and look at this line-up... just, look at it.. stare it straight in the eye even, if you dare.
.....................Can......................Wini..............................
...............................Coutinho.........................................
Mané................................................................M'bappe
................................Dolberg...........................................
And what about the subs: Henderson, Lallana, Firmino, Sturridge (I've decided I now want him to stay after his performance - and attitude - against West Ham) + youngsters.
PS Whatever additional funds you could raise from sales would also be made available for your kitty, meaning that Sakho, Origi et all could be swapped to say van Dijk and then we are talking 'King of the Hill' material in terms of squad quality.
