I’m all for bringing Fati and Johnson in. I’ve got zero attachment to about 50% of our winger options and think about that percentage of them aren’t good enough. Perisic is past it IMO, first competitive match last night where the pace is high and he looked like the old man he is, pre-season didn’t fool me. Gil clearly is not going to cut it in this league, he can’t stay fit, doesn’t have any end product, he has about 1 goal/assist or something ridiculous like that here or out on loan in the last season or 2 and he’s far too weak to compete. Signing Fati means we can upgrade ST by moving Son there and signing Johnson means we can move Kulusevski to 10 where he’ll be a better fit as well. These are both 100% the right moves for us right now. We can get them sorted and worry about if we need another ST in January as we’ve heard from our ITK
