No offense to the player , he might be legit but there are way too many players I have never heard from linked with us and hailed as world beaters I thought we had all but secured this Barilla chap as Fabreags replacement. I hope we sign whoever quickly these constant new rumours becoem a bit off-putting. 

He is actually really good, Roma was forced to sell to comply with FFP, exact same situation as how we got Rudiger.

I think this guy would be a massive impact sub for us. We need to actually get this done.

I think he could be a very good impact sub for us.  Would he be happy with that role though?  Might be better to try for Tonali who is younger and might appreciate that role more and who can grow into a starter in a couple of seasons.  Getting Barella would give us more options immediately and Tonali would give us the back up depth and future starter.

If Sarri rotates well he can easily start half of our remaining games, we have Europa and FA Cup too. Look at RLC and Barkley earlier in the season they were unhappy about their lack of playing time but once we started playing twice and fixtures pled up they started to get enough starts and appearances to keep them content. His quick passing is world class and we could do with that in our squad if we lose Cesc. Plus he is only 24 so he is still young.

Club is probably expecting transfer ban in the summer so this is gonna be an important transfer window as it seems. With both midfielders heavily linked with us I assume one thing... We don't want to sell Hazard and we are probably expecting that Real won't let us keep Kovacic if we play hard with them. And also.. Barkley will have to step up big time if he wants to stay near first team.

the ban would only be after the summer, i think, so our activity is uncorrelated to that i think it is rather to prevent us from failing top4 again. Also FIFA is nothing if not corrupted to the core, surely there will be a solution. There never has been such a transfer ban on a major club in football history.

Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid were banned for similar offences 2 years ago

But only for 1 or 2 windows.

Yeah I think we will be banned for just one window, most likely next winter which is okay as long as we sort our transfers now and in the summer. Its a shame that our academy is probably at its worst shape compared to prior years so they could have helped too during the ban.
