From what I hear, and to be very frank, there is a growing list, mostly young. Da Legit is one that we are really keen on. That all depends on the Toby situation (exit very likely). RS, still very high, of not tops of our wishes
Poch has to get this right with his choices. LB is a key area, along with ACM, and forward to replace Llorente. I can’t see Rose leaving, due to his personal situation.
A bit worrying. To me, CM and RB are two areas we need strengthening the most.
Has Thauvin got pace, or does he run like a bandy-legged chicken?Right Back? Our RB group is much stronger than our LB group, especially if we can't offload Rose and upgrade him. Aurier's got intelligence issues, but no more than Walker had at his his age. And we have KWP coming through who could potentially be better than all f them.
I'd say, assuming we sell TA and Rose we need two CM's and a LB. If we wanted to guild the forward Lilly, I wouldn't have bothered with Moura and just waited for Sessegnon. If we are going to add an AM, we don't need any more pacey chickens with no heads, we need some quality and intelligence. Fekir, Draxler eg. Hell, right now I'd swap Lamela for Thauvin, who's pretty much become the identical but better version of Lamela, who scores goals as well as making them and works hard like Lamela.

Replacing Rose shouldn’t be massively hard, any quick left back with a bit of fight will be an improvement so long as they actually want to be here. Rose doesn’t and his performances reflect as much. He just isn’t the player of 2016 anymore.To be honest, if we sell Toby, Rose and Dembele (Amongst what will undoubtedly be others, too) and we only spend 120m, I highly doubt we manage to replace them adequately, let alone improve.
The center of the park has to be improved. Does Poch believe he has youth that can finally take the wheel? Probably not so I am really hoping we can focus on that area of need.

Thauvin failed at Newcastle. He failed to score a single goal for them. Now he's scoring at a considerably weaker league. On top of that he has a history of attitude problems, whereas Lamela is the opposite
I don't see how Thauvin could be a better version of Lamela.
That’s happens when you’re playing in a shiet leagueIf you'd read my views on Thauvin two/three years ago they sounded exactly the same, but the kid has really turned it round last couple of years and has impressed the shit out of me.
Three years ago I called him the shitter facsimile of Lamela, but he's now playing really well, consistently, every week, he works as hard as Lamela without the ball, happy to get his foot in, but I think where Lamela's game, decent that it is, has stayed on the same level, Thauvin has definitely raised his considerably and that's what you want to see in a player. Yes it's France, but lets not forget France produces shitloads more quality players than almost any country on earth. And the thing I like about him is he will get dirty and he does involve himself in the game, he's not just decorative. In terms of product, he's doing it every week. 17 goals and 10 assists from ARM is up there with the most productive of his species in Europe, and last year he was good as well.
I genuinely think he's sorted himself out and he is a very complete player who I think would suit our style completely, graft and guile. But you can't have him and Lamela in the same squad, they are just two similar, they even look and move similarly.
LolThat’s happens when you’re playing in a shiet league
We’ve heard of 2-3 incomings but with the shortfalls in the squad and the reported outgoings we’ll need a damn site more than 2-3. If Dembele goes, I’d go for Diawara and Frankie De Jong. We’re then looking at also needing a number 2, left back, poss right back, centre back, attacking central midfield and possibly a decent striker.
