Surely you'd play him at 6. He's probably the most obvious high quality choice for the role with how we play.

    There's also houseboat links to Santiago Gimenez. Looks good.

      He looks a bit lacking technically but probs would be an upgrade to the squad

      there is no winter windo for us. we're tapped. we'll be scraping around for loan deals for Chelsea leftovers again

        QuincyAbeyie Don’t rate him yet. Not at the level we require. I watch a lot of Mexico NT and he’s very inconsistent

          Gazza M I think we may well be desperate enough we find a way to sign a midfielder by then.

          Zubimendi, or is Kalvin Phillips worth a shout? Supposedly we are interested in him though there will be a silly "war" when City force him out.

            Gazza M
            Don’t believe Ornstein, he often gets it wrong in terms of how much budget we have in transfer windows. If we want to spend we will spend in Jan.

              He's 18. Looks like he might have an Iniestaesque receding hairline in a few years, he's got time to develop.

              Great if we're proactive behind the scenes and all this isn't media clicks and agent bait. Still a fan of getting Oyarzabal for the LCM slot!

              Definitely wouldn't mind Eze lorddulaarsenal would like a tenacious, technically assured goal threat and think he suits that. Looks to be coming back into regular flow with 5 odd goals in the last month.

                sociedad have quite a few players that would be good for us. kubo as saka depth, oyazarbal as 8/10 depth, and zubimendi to relegate jorginho and elneny to the bench forever

                  Gazza M I have been watching them quite a bit and Arsen Zakharyan, Barrenetxea both caught my eye too. Need to keep an eye on those 2 young starlets
