We don’t need the Barella case to tell us we are retarded, that much is already a known fact at this stage.
The only realistic way of keeping Barella near starting eleven is to get a player that is not similar to what he provides, some one who would compliment him well rather than doing exactly what he does.
Even then I can still see the possibility of Vecino displacing him from first eleven.

I don’t really agree with this. IMO we need to strengthen both wings, they are very lacking offensively. I am more worried about our lack of ability to attack down both wings, it’s almost like losing both arms.
