Even if you think the jury is still out on Moura, there's no way he should be grouped with the likes of Llorente and Janssen. He's on track for a 15 goal season.
Sander Berge

Son ? Lloris ? Foyth? Moura ?

Berge looks class to me...however Genk will ask for a respectable fee of something like £15m, Levy will say that is too much, then he ends up signing for Southampton or Leicester, where he becomes a beast in the premier league, valued at 50 million within a year...
I doubt Genk will command an unrealistic fee...get him and Rabiot in, could get the pair for a likely £30m fee (I know Rabiot will have a big sign on etc...) but it fits Levy’s mould..gets poch strength in a key area, and doesn’t break the bank.
Just my opinion, but i’d roll with both of those players...

Foyth for sure could be, Moura was hardly an unknown as were Son and Lloris and they were a good long while ago. Anyone who had even a passing knowledge of world football would have been aware of those three, and who even knows if we still own the same scouts now. I’m talking over recent years. Njie, GKN, Janssen, Aurier, these are hardly success stories. Purely looking at players coming from abroad during the Poch era I wouldn’t say our scouting has been good enough in my opinion.

As a more mobile alternative to Berge, what about Denis Zakaria?
Good replacement for wanyama.
Add Youri Tielemans to replace Dembele and we got a youthful, skilful midfield.

I think Berge ticks almost every box. In terms of age, attributes, development, ceiling. Potential sell on, position.
I agree that Tielemans is another I would look for but Monaco always get a premium for their players and I don’t think we would pay what they would want.

This would certainly add to our options in midfield
Dier and Skipp for the sitting passing midfield role
Winks and Berge for the number 8 pivot ballplaying role
Sissoko for the box to box physical athletic role
*maybe if Onomah could bulk up a bit he could become an alternative to Sissoko
Berge and Skipp replacing Dembele and Wanyama could be the way to go
It may not seem like an upgrade but they both have great potential and will add fresh energy
Besides with Winks and Dier we already have a couple of proven first teamers
I see it similar to the centre backs, Sanchez and Foyth coming in young as future long term centre backs

Damn, only a few short years ago that would have been the funniest comment on the entire site.

Based on latest rumours and ITK, I’d assume Berge is our back up if the Rabiot deal doesn’t happen. If true it’s quite a big step down.
Rabiot would come in now and settle quickly due to his experience and quality, however Berge may need a season or two to adapt before we see his true quality. Right now we need someone ready to hit the ground running and help us take that next step forward.

They’re a bit different. Berge would be a Wanyama replacement and Rabiot a Dembele replacement. We need both but will probably end up with neither.
Don’t jinx it.

Interesting. I do however like taking the odd risk rather than a mid table PL side signing the likes of Berge and after a few months their value has tripled. Hopefully we do address CM this window one way or another.

I don’t think there is any guarantee that either would settle straight in and make anywhere near a rapid impact on the first team to be fair. I totally see the rationale in signing these now but not really with more than hope that they could make a first team impact.
