Sanderson says in the Metro that we're close to agreeing a £17m deal to bring in Lars Bender - is he the midfielder we need? I've seen him a few times and I've been impressed, just how good is he though? Where's he strong and where's he weak?
Quite a few different places saying we've opened talks with Sociedad for Antoine Griezmann as well. Who's seen enough of him to say exactly what he'd bring to the table? Not overly impressed by the very little I've seen - I prefer Thauvin from Marseilles, who looks a very good player in the making to me. Griezmann does have a lot of goals to his name this season though.
