OK. Due to the squad situation, as Poch mentioned, if we're getting a foreign player in, there must be one going out. Who's leaving?

@Ossie85 - How is his temperament? I know the WC match was a one off but how do you think he would adapt to the prem? If you can't hold your temper you are useless in the prem. Walking red card etc.
Imho firstly, we don’t need him, for the very reasons you stated. Therefore, I am very underwhelmed. But there is truth in we have agreed (verbally) but not officially offered. And personally pray we don’t.I think he would adapt to the prem, and I don't see any problem with his temper. I didn't watch the WC game everyone is talking about, so I don't know what happened there, but I can't remember any problem with him at boca
The thing is he's a pure DM. He never goes forward. I'm not sure we need him, unless there's something wrong with Wanyama. He's not a Dembele replacement
Bring in someone like Rabiot alongside him and midfield would look a bit different...I think he would adapt to the prem, and I don't see any problem with his temper.

Don't know of the transfer player threads are still running but the n'dombele one pretty much shows we know nothing about foreign midfielders who haven't yet made it
Very few wanted, most thought it was a typical cheap spurs signing and we needed to aim higher
Now the dude is gonna cost someone 70 million +
In the summer he was being touted around the 40-50m Mark which clearly we wasn't interested in so definitely not interested now if the price has gone to 70m.Don't know of the transfer player threads are still running but the n'dombele one pretty much shows we know nothing about foreign midfielders who haven't yet made it

When you say we know nothing about foreign midfielders - do you mean the scouts and club or we as in this forum?
We are an Eric Dier injury away from being totally powderpuff in midfield, Wanyama seems to have gone the way of Sandro and Palacios.Imho firstly, we don’t need him, for the very reasons you stated.

We on this forum, we watch the epl. We haven't got time to be streaming games from all over the world on a constant.
A couple of world cup displays is not enough, per example based on the world cup alone we'd be horrified if spent more than 10 mill on rahem sterling.
Levy is never opening up his wallet to compete with arsenal and Liverpool let alone the Manc clubs and Chelsea so I'm glad we continue to try these things

Agree from what I've seen of him this would make sense from both a business and playing sense can't see what the problem is.This. Quite surprised that some people are against this signing. Wanyama has had injury and fitness issues for a while. That leaves Dier as our only DM.
For £20m I don’t see a lot to grumble about. Yes we still need a long term successor to Dembele but that’s a different type of midfielder.
