With Dembele, Wanyama and Dier, as well as Winks and Onomah, I think we're pretty well stocked in central midfield.
And with Barkley's probable arrival, we could have another CM option if some recent articles are to be believed about Poch wanting to develop him to eventually take over the reigns from Dembele.

I don't get Barkley as a cm given we are overstocked there.
We need creative players as if Eriksen is out, we fail to tick.
I understand what you're getting at with the CMs we've got, but I still think we need an attacking CM who brings something different and Seri totally fits the bill.With Dembele, Wanyama and Dier, as well as Winks and Onomah, I think we're pretty well stocked in central midfield.

None of Onomah, Winks, Wanyama, or Dier have a lot of attacking ability in the final third and I think we could really use that type of option in our squad.
I see Winks as a deeper playmaker. Similar to a Parker or Modric. Seri is a bit similar, but with a totally different skillset imo.I agree that we probably do need an attacking midfielder, or to be more precise, another playmaker in the mould of Eriksen, in case the Dane picks up an injury.
From what I have gathered though, Seri is very much a central midfielder, one who sits a touch deeper than the more attack minded players. He definitely looks a talent, but I believe we have someone in Winks who could perform a similar role, and I'd rather see him given an opportunity.
I've wanted us to sign a CM for a good while, but with the emergence of Winks and Onomah, couple with the versatility of Dier, I think we probably have enough numbers to cope with the season ahead.
I know it's a pipe dream but someone like Kovacic provides that quality cover at centre mid or attacking mid and can actually provide serious competition for a starting spot. Would seem a much better option albeit at a higher cost.I see Winks as a deeper playmaker. Similar to a Parker or Modric. Seri is a bit similar, but with a totally different skillset imo.
I also agree about the Eriksen cover, but that's what I think someone like Barkley could provide.
Wonder how Seri-ous we are anyway. If he signs I'd like to see him being handed a series of games.

I think we should be but I kind of have the same feeling. (Reportedly) he is being tracked by Liverpool, Arsenal, and Everton in the PL alone not to mention several European clubs. Can't see us getting into a bidding war or wage war for him.Really don't think we are in for him.
