Which is inevitable. Plan B can basically only come from someone on this list comprehensive DMF list, including youth prospects Blue bold are the doable nows, Kouadio Koné is the way to go for me, he can play anywhere in MF, super athlete Declan Rice (not happening this window) Jude Bellingham (not really a DMF, but can play a pivot, we MUST move hard for him next summer, but we likely will fail, unfortunately) Nicolò Barella closest thing to Kante, not happening this window Frenkie de Jong Mikel Merino Marcos Llorente (we failed) Wilfred Ndidi Sandro Tonali (renewing) Rúben Neves Kouadio Koné Teun Koopmeiners Guido Rodríguez Danilo (Palmeiras) dice roll and the lesser ones Douglas Luiz Ismaël Bennacer Weston McKennie Martín Zubimendi André Zambo Anguissa Leander Dendoncker Julian Weigl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pizy 18,918 Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 Btw, Zaha plays on the left. So I wonder what the thinking is if we go after him. Much like Leão, when we already have Sterling on the left I wonder where we’d play either of those two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stopgap central striker role - Given that club has him as one of Aubameyang's backups Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You want Zaha isolated as much as possible 1v1 out wide so he can terrorize defenders. You don’t want him getting battered about surrounded by a couple of big CB’s in the middle. Think he’d be miserable up there for us. Vesper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pizy 18,918 Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 I really, REALLY wanted Wilf like 2-3 years ago when we were linked with him. He’s still highly effective and hasn’t really dropped his level at all but he’s 30 in a couple of months. Much like giving Auba a 3 year deal, giving Wilf 3 years or maybe even more is very risky. At this point in the window, though, I wouldn’t say no to another PL ready attacker who is a terror in the open field and is direct as hell. oldportblue 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So we definitely should be looking for a cut price. Not sure what palace would be demanding for him so late in the window when they don't have time for a replacement.

Seeing the lack of options - at least bring him in for cheap to rotate with Havertz? 49 minutes ago, Vesper said: you are still alive after Morata, Higuain, Bobblehead, Willian, and AC with his tummy troubles 🤣 We are all alive after Torres Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milka 3,393 Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 I don`t think Zaha is our answer up front . We need some passion bad guy like Mitrovic . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
