Dennis Praet from Anderlecht is a pure gem. Liverpool will place a bid in january for him.

He is only 18. He is an AM or CM with an amazing eagle eye.

Don't we have enough young midfielders though! Would just be a waste unless he would actually play which I highly doubt. Keep tabs on him perhaps and wait to the future.

Has anyone seen anything of this Romanian centre-back we're being linked with called Vlad Chiriches?

22 years old, 6'1.5", 14 caps for Romania, over 100 league games but only 1 goal, and apparently wanted by Barcelona, Lyon and AC Milan.

His club want to get at least £8million or-so for him I believe.

The guy's agent is Ioan Becali, world's biggest scumbag. And guess who's running Chiriches's club, Steaua Bucharest? Becali's cousin, of course. They've been using this strategy for years. Everytime Steaua or Becali has a promising young player under contract, they use their media connections in order to claim that he's wanted by Chelsea, Barcelona, Real Madrid, Milan and so on. They did it with players such as Mirel Radoi (supposedly wanted by Inter Milano and Real Madrid. He ended up in Kuwait, or something), Banel Nicolita ("Wanted" by Chelsea in the past, currently playing for St. Etienne) or Marius Alexe ("Wanted" by Chelsea, but still playing for Dinamo Bucharest).

Chiriches is talented, but I am 99% sure that this is pure bs and he'll end up playing for some mediocre team in France or Italy.

Benat etxebarria looks a good playmaker,will be fairly cheap as well.Worth a punt?

Yeh, he's a good midfielder, would happily take him at Chelsea if Betis were willing to sell for a reasonable price...but he is their best player...so he won't come on the cheap.

He wont be that expensive either.I think 10-15m euros will do the trick and thats reasonable for a player of his ability.

He is playing similar position to Xabi Alonso, right? So he has some defensive skills too?

However, he is Bilbao bound. And his price is 20+mio

Would love to see him here, but he is too small for CM. If we go for CM/DM, guy should be at least bit taller to give balance to team's height.

I really think we should consider Monreal from Malaga if Cole does indeed leave.

I can't think of many top quality all-rounded left-backs like Monreal at the moment.

I love Bertrand, but he's still not ready to be playing vs. Manchester United, Manchester City, Barcelona etc. at left back in huge games for us yet in my opinion.

Romeu is beginning to look like he won't be around much longer, and we simply need another defensive midfielder.

Another Spaniard this time; Ignacio Camacho - Again from Malaga.

He wasn't great at Atletico Madrid, but he's really come alive at Malaga. He's the 'wall' in their midfield. He's fantastic at interceptions.

Finally; Benat. Benat, Benat, Benat.

He reminds me of Xabi Alonso in a lot of games. He's simply a great playmaker, and I believe he'd be a great addition in our side if played in the double pivot correctly.

His height may be seen as a vulnerability in that position in the Premier League, but he did really well against 'bigger' sides at the Euro 2012 *preparation friendlies* vs. Serbia and South Korea.
