Might be that the player doesn’t want us (Maddison’s case?) and this is the spin. Who knows?Hoping Poch might have changed his mind.

Hoping Poch might have changed his mind.
Is he affordable that is the overiding thing here.Seen we've been linked with 25 year old Torino midfielder Meite.
I'm currently watching Torino v AC Milan on Sky 422.
He's playing, and he's shite. Bit of running about, opponents pretty much passing round him. Oh, and the much appreciated sideways passing.
Wey Hey. No thanks.
I know it's only one game, but feck me, a couple of times he's not even attempted to get involved with an opponent in possession no further than two feet away. Looks a lazy beggar to me.
I'd take Grealish over Tieliemans. The latter is good, but the former is the better all round player for Poch's style.
I think both have a lot of quality but Grealish gives more graft, he'd work harder off the ball which is such a big part of the game and an absolute requirement for Poch.
Elite mentality as well
Or we could target both, since Grealish is certainly more of a number 10 and Tielemans is an 8.I'd take Grealish over Tieliemans. The latter is good, but the former is the better all round player for Poch's style.

Im wondering who will pick up Zaha after his interview saying he wants to go to a CL team.
City and Liverpool - dont need him and I doubt they would go for him.
Utd - wont be back in for him
Arsenal - cant afford him + they hopefully wont be in the CL
Chelsea - I could see buying him as a Hazard replacement but they might be completely banned from signing players
That leaves us...Poch loves him, we know that. I doubt we would pay the money for him and Im not sure where he would fit in if Eriksen stays and we sign a good CM.
Or abroad. PSG has been linked already.
Are they selling Neymar then?
Yes time to get back to transfers where we had success in the past. If even add gomes and tielemans to the list, proven premier league loans, like when alderweireld proved himself at SouthamptonI'd love Brandt, Havertz, Ndombele etc but I'd be over the moon if we went all British and paid probably over the odds, for
Wan-Bissaka
Chilwell
Brooks
Sessegnon
Grealish
Che Adams
Add those and Toby/Eriksen staying and we're on our way!
Maybe unlikely, but I'd take a look at trying to get Foden too. Such a pisser that we missed out on Sancho after all the ITK saying we wanted each other. Gibbs-White looks a serious prospect too.
That eng u17's team has produced some amazing talent

He's been mentioned before by many of us, but Phillip Billing absolutely fits what Poch wants in a CM. Absolute unit, aggressive in the tackle, has shown the ability to spread the ball around a bit and would likely see a boost in passing accuracy with a more attack minded side. At 22, he also would bring some youth to midfield and would likely come at a reasonable fee. Would he be an amazing signing? Likely not. But, he does make a ton of sense and should give us some decent depth in an area we are so desperate for it.
If we sell Wanyama, he's probably a good bet as far as the replacement.
