Just wondering what my next moves should be. I've currently negotiated a deal for Butland for £7.5m plus Ospina. A £1.8m deal for Tyrone Mings as a backup RB behind Williems.
The deal Im most concerned about is a £17.5m bid for Oliver. Ive £43m to spend so itll still make a fair dent but his stats are off the charts. Flair technique passing vision all 17 plus at age 22 and his decisions are 15. Does he play as well as his stats suggest. Im not set up to accommodate
him in the more advanced role but he should be able to sit deeper with romero and song doing most of the grunt work.
His teammate Correa is available for £2.9m but having a hard time convincing him to join but hopefully that deal will get done. If not then Ill have to move for Lingard at £5m or Grealish and his £14m release clause.
The only other deal im worrying about is Butland. Ospina is pretty good and since Butland is listed for 9 Im not getting a great discount by including Ospina. Watford have young regen goalkeeper who looks amazing at 17 and are looking for a similar price so wondering if I should move for him instead.
Finally Im not sure what to do at CB.Gibson has turned in some solid performances as has Kalas but Ayala hasnt done much. Ive a £2.5m clause to buy Kalas during the lone so hopefully thats one future spot secure.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
