Also cover at CB until Mings is back to full fitness?  Although I'm not sure how good he is at CB as never seen hime there

Supposedly decent in a 3,  though haven't really seen him at CB. He's a funny one in that he clearly  has masses of experience both at PL and international level, and has been half decent at times for us, but clearly way too expensive  as a squad option and never going to be a regular first team starter.

Went from Felix and Chiesa to Barış Alper Yılmaz in the space of 6 hours

Have you seen our squad list lately? Jesus. We are locked and ****ing loaded. It's almost OP. I'd be very afraid of us. How did this happen? Picture absolutely says it all.

With rumours and links, plus the ones coming back to fitness as well, at one point I was wondering if it was overkill lol.

Then again, we need not forget how we crumbled with a few injuries/suspensions etc last season, and Champions League is a BIG step up too.

Unai and club have also made it clear we don't want to just be one season wonders.

It's a better problem to have than threadbare. Might need more in the middle and right though.

I’d like a defender and central midfielder please.

I wonder if Mattie will stay and if Buendia will surpass his former self?

You mean to fill up the current Kamara-Luiz-sized holes? We won't be able to wait for Kamara to come back, that's for sure.

i think our LM, RM, SS/AM positions are massively over stacked, we have something like 9 players who can play some or all of those 3 positions (Tielemans, Barkley, McGinn, Iling-Jr, Ramsey, Buendia, Bailey, Rogers, Diaby), but only 2-3 players for 2 central midfield positions (Barrenchea, Barkley, Tielemans, and to a lesser degree McGinn).

I dont think McGinn can effectively play that MC role tbh, so i have excluded him in my head.

We are massively over stacked in the forward areas, and massively under stacked in the central midfield pairing.

Correct

Plenty of useful players could be becoming available from France soon.

The first branch of the rotten European football tree is about to die. Ligue 1 is in trouble due to no tv deal. Really grim stuff.

Could be some cheap deals, or even free signings depending on what happens. All these would be worth a look if we can move some on.

GK - Alban Lafont

LB - Bradley Locko

CBs - Kevin Danso, Arouna Sangante, Becir Omeragic

CM - Joris Chotard

ST - Elye Wahi

Wahi would be a fantastic option to learn under Watkins. Extremely pacey.

After careful consideration i’ll give a pass on João Felix, he is not consistent enough and doesn’t work hard enough, he shows moments of magic on the ball but we are looking for players that offer much more, for me to say that means i really have weighed it up because im a huge fan of Felix. Id prefer Alex Baena or Xavi Simmons, preferably the latter he would take us to new heights
