We should be taking a serious look at Michael Keane too. Didn't realise he only had a year left. He's a proper baller of a CB.
Would rather we kept faith in Dier with the highly rated CCV backing him up.

If we stay with the three at the back and Wimmer goes, as looks likely, we'll need another PL hardened CB though. Keane looks to be a bit of a leader too, which our squad could do with more of.Would rather we kept faith in Dier with the highly rated CCV backing him up.
Just to further to eddiev14's excellent post a few pages back, I had a look at some other players with 12 months left on their contracts this Summer from around Europe, including the ones he mentioned.

Obviously there are some names we could never attract (included just out of interest), but there are players in that list we could realistically target who would improve our 1st XI/squad, and ones who I'm sure Levy would relish trying to do cut-price deals for (e.g. Wanyama).
If we stay with the three at the back and Wimmer goes, as looks likely, we'll need another PL hardened CB though. Keane looks to be a bit of a leader too, which out squad could do with more of.
Yeah possibly left footed CB is prefererable, but he's very good.If Winner goes surely we need a left footed centre back?
Just think it's a bit of a pointless signing seeing as we have other areas to focus on.

We should try to get some of the ones I've highlighted. The rest are either too high profile or not what we need
Musacchio has had a lot of injury problems - think his best days have passed.Which of the two do you consider Musacchio as? Think he'd be great in our current formation with a back trio.
Getting rid of one of Wimmer or Davies as Vertonghen's challenger, while signing someone who could play on the right or even cover when Toby is out.

I'd bid for Sanchez and Ozil just to tip the goon fans over the edge into mass suicide. We still need some revenge for RSol.Just to further to eddiev14's excellent post a few pages back, I had a look at some other players with 12 months left on their contracts this Summer from around Europe, including the ones he mentioned.

I've been scouting Ramadan some more

I've been scouting Ramadan some more. I think Poch could mould him into a Dembele type player, though one with a bit more to offer going forward. He's very strong and difficult to get off the ball. Very skillful player.
@Flashspur why did you spam this? @UpTownSpur has a right to his opinion. I for one would be fine if we just had agree, disagree, and informative options on this board. People neg rep just to neg rep.
@UpTownSpur i like the look of the kid but from what I have seen I see more of a wide player that enjoys taking people on. I do think he has a lot of physical attributes that make him an attractive option. Would not be mad singing a young talent.
