Edu going back for Melo.
Wouldn’t mind Joao Pedro from Watford as backup for Saka/G.Jesus, think he could go up a level.
Been watching Wolves games and Neves is worth every cent. He could potentially replace Partey, if we don’t get him he will go to Liverpool or Real Madrid to replace Kroos. Plays just like Kroos, a leader, doesn’t hide, makes the right defensive choices in the box and switches play effortlessly. Worth a VVD/Fabinho fee.
Neves, Xhaka, Ødegaard with Partey backup is elite
Indeed, Neves is top top quality. He has everything needed to play a lone six and he'll bench Partey for sure.
Too late to get him now, unless we bid 60+, but completely worth the money IMO.
Add Zaha on a 3 year deal for around 25-30m and we are a clear top three side in the league.
Zaha is 30 in 3 months, you really want a 30 year old winger whose main weapon is pace?
On deadline day or just before, yes.
Now, not so much.
I'm happy enough with Danilo as an Elneny replacement for next season, think we need to go big on the Partey replacement though. We need a Fabinho, Rodri, Rice level player to really boost our midfield up a level or two.Let’s see how Caicedo does this season and then maybe go for him next summer to replace 5. Not sold on Danilo at all tbh. Caqueret another one to watch for the 6 position.

If Milan end up selling him, we can't allow anyone in the PL to steal a march on us by getting Rafael Leão.
He'd be devastating with the way we're set up.
He will end up at City. I'm surprised nobody is mentioning Nkunku. Leipzig are a mess and he has a 50 million euro release clause. He basically lives in the left half space and his fbref stats are literally insane. His attacking and defensive stats are completely greened off.
Where do you think he'd settle in England? Could he be a potential Xhaka replacement?
I've said it so many times. Nkunku is a player who can play anywhere on the pitch apart from CB. He is that intelligent. Just because he scores goals in Germany playing upfront vs defences on the half way line doesn't mean he can't play as an 8 and wouldn't be better there in a good team.
He is quick, he can tackle, he can dribble, he can shoot, he can receive under pressure, he can see a pass and something which we don't see anymore because he is playing up top, he has a very good long passing range. He broke through at RB at PSG. Box to box as a left 8 in our system would be incredible.
If we positiionally rotated and he ended up on the left wing he can literally turn into a winger there. He can turn into a 10 in left half space, he can attack like a cf running beyond and can play like a deep lying playmaker when he is deeper.
Honestly, he is a cheat code of a player if we want to positional rotate. He can rotate as a LW, CF, false 9, 10, 8, 6 and a left back in a game. Same price as Jesus. Its a no brainer.
