Surely this will force us to sign a new midfielder in January? Watched the Lyon game last night. Ndombele looked on point

I feel like we've really missed Mousa in the last week, desperately need a long term replacement for him. I know Winks COULD be it but he has his own injury concerns.

Sad thing is we were in for him in the summer when he was less known but Levy pulled out of a 40M deal, would of been the perfect replacement! It will be impossible for us to sign him now since his stock has risen so much and we just can't compete with the bigger clubs financially.

Wilmar Barrios would be a good alternative!

I love when people repeat a random piece of gossip they saw in the Sun and state it as fact. Really makes for good debate!

Barrios just got a red in Libertadores final in extra time. Hasn't been that impressive ether. Not really sure we should be after him.

Also Barrios is a DM not a CM. A replacement for Vic maybe, not for Dembele.

You are right about Ndomble. A good season so far and would cost more than 40 mil after the season is over

I'm not sure about Barrios. Did not impress me during the WC and looked like more of loose cannon and diving into tackles. Today he got sent off during the Copa Libertadores finale

Poch replying to a question about the future of Moussa
“That is down to Daniel. What do you think Daniel is going to do?”

Injury update on expected January return
"Maybe he will be ready to start to train with the team, but not at a level to play,” Pochettino said.

Other reports suggesting he wants to stay but only if he gets a pay rise.

Play and get paid contract is realistically what he should get. Good player but only if he can play
I personally wouldn't even give him that. We need to move on and I think him not having a contract is the only way thats going to happen.

He needs to move on, it genuinely hurts my soul to say that but he can't be relied upon for anymore than 15-20 games a season due to his injuries.

I will say this though, on his day, which there were plenty of, he was the best box to box in the entirety of world football. I don't think that's an overstatement either. If he didn't suffer so many injuries he'd still be one of the first name's on the team sheet for me.
