You're right I wouldn't be mentioning BBD and I doubt he will be here. For me, Charles of 2025 is better than two years ago. Add Ramsdale, Dibling, Fernandes and Archer and that is clearly preferable to last time. The problem is it's not really a fair comparison because we are obviously going to lose two or three of them. However, I'd expect us to get a better keeper in than Bazunu.
We will most likely end up weaker at rb and possibly in AM but hopefully with a stronger midfield overall, more depth at CB, stronger at lb and maybe with a comparable attack.
