It's a position we have failed to properly reinforce since Kante's arrival, so it has to be done at some point. However, all these hypothetical scenarios depend on departures.

I honestly don't see RLC being here once the window shuts

I did say if we sell Baka and/or Drinkwater. We are going to have the same numbers either way. That's been the case in forever and we have been stuck with stopgaps (Cuadrado, Willian, etc), yet, we haven't really been linked with a natural winger. I've said in other threads that this omission is concerning.

Why not? Golovin seems very close to being wrapped up whilst Lazio have shown interest in Pedro. Throw Baka or Drinkwater out the window and I could see a double swoop being feasible.

I personally think he's just another name thrown into the mix because he plays for Juve. Seem to be linked with most of their squad recently

Options are always nice but this move seems unnecessary. If we do buy another midfielder, Milinkovic-Savic would be a better fit.

He plays in Ligue 1

I'm totally with you, but versatile players are the ones that normally thrive. Azpi or Moses probably wouldn't have played for Conte, if they had not adapted. In all fairness, he need a good balance.

He can play RWF as well. I have a feeling Moses will be used in that position from time to time, for better or worse.

I could get behind him for Willian. Him alone wouldn't suffice as Hazard's replacement, though

The latter seems probable going by reports. Some even suggest we bid a bit more (70m) but the player chose otherwise. Not majorly disappointed due to the crazy price. Selling Thibo and adding 15m~ for a replacement would be best all-round.

Could be a true. However, we were forced into this predicament unlike last season

Seems like one of our decent options is off whilst shit sticks around.

I think it was quite clear that they thought a higher bid would have been enough for Alisson. That clearly wasn't the case, so we have to go after plan B. Donnarumma seems like the ideal option left, despite his agent. Milan aren't in a good position either, which works in our favour.

I was alking about league stats only (Lozano got 19 in all comps). He also came from the Mexican league and still produced those numbers

PSV won the title, he scored 17, set up 8 and had a relatively good WC. Don't compare the two based solely on playing in the same league.

Still think he needs another year of regular football & European experience before making the jump up. Too many youngsters from the Eredivise have failed to make the step up due to leaving prematurely.

He would fix the lack of goals from midfield. Something that's been missing sice Lamps left. Don't forget Pasalic

I can't see Barcelona taking a 20m+ hit in less than 12 months.

I honestly hope he stays, but talk of a swap for Dembele plus cash would be far more appealing than anything Madrid could offer.

We aren't making top 4 without Hazard and the same current crop of players (with Golovin & Rugani, providing join).

Pleased to see Pasalic get a chance. I believe he's more than good enough to be a midfield option.

They had competent wide men. We could be stuck if Willian & Pedro.

He didn't exactly impress last season and Stoke are now in the Championship. Doubt anyone will be wanting to spend £30m+ on him

Probably wants shot of him tbh. Think we have all come to know Thibo is only interested in number one, regardless of what position we are in. First time I'll be please to see the back of a starter
