yep another one well regret missing on imoHe's another example of a player that would go to Lyon or something and then immediately be too expensive. South America is also easier to buy from in January than others.

A huge number of media outlets reported earlier this week that Real Madrid had agreed a deal for him for around £20m.He's another example of a player that would go to Lyon or something and then immediately be too expensive. South America is also easier to buy from in January than others.
Would work for me! Certainly not the sort of statement signings we hoped for but this is still going to be our way of doing business I would imagine. But hopefully enough of these guys will be able to grow up while Kane and Eriksen are here that we can take another shot at the league.A huge number of media outlets reported earlier this week that Real Madrid had agreed a deal for him for around £20m.
Hopefully it's just clickbait, because IMO a player of this profile is exactly what we should be targeting to replace Dembele. Winks has shown enough that we should be looking for a young, relatively inexpensive talent to compete with him rather than a more established signing who would require a massive fee. That would give us more leeway to address the other needs in the squad.
His agent said the Real link is fake, but that he has had contact from Inter. I'd be happy to pay £25-£30m for him and just be happy we got a seriously talented CM that can both play with and spell Winks.A huge number of media outlets reported earlier this week that Real Madrid had agreed a deal for him for around £20m.

I don't think we need a Toby replacement, Sanchez and Foyth both prefer the right, I think when Toby goes we should look for a Jan replacement. Ie, a young left footed CD.Jeremy Lascelles new 6 year deal at Newcastle. Figured I'd throw this in as I know some wanted him as a Toby replacement.
Works for me! I wanted Lenglet this summer when hearing about De Ligts price tag.I don't think we need a Toby replacement, Sanchez and Foyth both prefer the right, I think when Toby goes we should look for a Jan replacement. Ie, a young left footed CD.
Yeah think it was a big mistake in the club's recruit policy when we went away from our bread and butter, of signing young promising players. They may not give us the instant jolt we need, but still better then standing still and watching our squad deacay.Would work for me! Certainly not the sort of statement signings we hoped for but this is still going to be our way of doing business I would imagine.

bale unhappy in Madrid maybe
DTX i'm with you on a lot of the frustrations and solutions you've put forward but "statement signings" is not one of them. This is not our MO and probably will never be unless DL hands over the reigns and I'm all for it ('it' being buying up and comers instead of 'names'). The beauty of the Poch era has been 'team' before anything else. If you bring a statement signing is then you have implicitly placed that person before the team. Additionally, if we nab someone perceived to be beyond our profile then how long will that person stay when 'big' clubs come a callin?Would work for me!

I fairly certain Daniel would let you have at it as well.I'd be happy to pay £25-£30m for him and just be happy we got a seriously talented CM that can both play with and spell Winks.
We do need a full back so...
Lewis cook is pointless imo. He’s certainly no better than winks. So effectively you are saying winks is our No 1 and cook back up. Just don’t think that’s strong enough. In reality we need someone better or at least equal to winks.
He’s becoming a really well rounded midfielder and offers more in defence than Winks. Surely worth following his progress as the season goes on?
Wanyama injured again. Knee. Not looking good for him, is it.
New DM needed in January.
