This. We still need someone to replace Kamara.

Financial, got to get the coffers sorted before June

Even if we don't get Araujo (which is likely), a RB/CB hybrid seems to be on the cards. Added to the fact Diego Carlos is probably on his way out, suggest to me a defensive tweak by Emery.
-
Probably right. It would require a significant transfer fee + big wages, doesn’t really fit our current transfer model.
-
That's why Emery is here
-
Van Dijk kind of was an “untapped gem” he played for Southampton
-
It’s because of FFP. Selling Ramsey for even £50m means we’d have an FFP profit of £250m. Whereas we’d need to sell Digne for about £12m just to break even.

Do they? They have Marcos Alonso and Balde who’s very highly rated.
-
These links to Araujo and the links to Hermoso, I wonder is Emery planning a change to the set up at the back? Similar to Pep and Arteta who don’t play traditional full backs.
-
The only player we had to bring on against Liverpool for Luiz was Chambers. Does that seem fine to you?
-
That’s reasonable
-
None, they’re all centre backs.
-
Back four of Hermoso Pau Araujo Konsa, what is Emery cooking?
-
Was sent off in their champions league game against PSG which pretty much caused them to get knocked out.

I think you’re getting two hung up on the term “DM”. Luiz and Kamara are both DMs for example, but completely different. You rightly compare Barley to Youri, who has played quite a bit for us in the pivot, so no reason why RB can’t play deeper in certain games.

Barkley under Emery
-
We don’t necessarily need a Kamara type DM for every game. We need players that can receive the ball in midfield, turn and either run into or pass into space. RB can definitely do that, as he’s shown this season.
-
They’re not even the same position. It’s like signing a centre back and saying “looks like we’re not signing a striker now”
-
Barkley under Emery
-
I'm surprised Everton aren't in for him given their financial issues.
-
We're going to have the cheapest midfield in the PL
-
This is just laying the foundations for Grealish returning.
-
Could thing he won't be playing in the Castore kit
-
Do we need two Ross Barkley threads?
