Besides the fact that I doubt he'd cross the divide, he just isn't right for Poch's shape. He's not defensively disciplined enough for the midfield holders, or creative enough to play in the 10. He's one of those midfielders like Pogba where you have to play 433 to get the best out of them.

I've always thought that Ramsey was one of those players who if he was at your club you'd be happy with him and he could be useful, but he doesn't consistently show enough to have you wanting him if you were an outside club. Maybe how some view Dele with us too.

Well Dembele, Sissoko, Janssen, GKN and Llorente will all go. Davies is not good enough and the jury is still out on Dier (as a DM) and Vic (with his injuries). Winks has been improving. But if you take all that into consideration then we are left incredibly thin in the centre of midfield. I was saying we only really need to get one or maybe two new first team players and some youth for rotate and for the future. Remember Eriksen only has two years left on his contract and could well go in the summer if he doesn't sign. I don't think what I'm suggesting is so far fetched and I don't see how that equates to a new squad.

This was all known and as essential prior to the summer transfer window too though. I don't think what you're suggesting is far fetched at all, but after the summer I wouldn't argue with anyone who said any belief that it would actually happen is far fetched. I have very little faith regarding us and transfers right now to be honest.

Levy will just keep withholding funds till he's run this squad into the ground. After all, property development and financial gains are all he's interested in.

Jack Grealish new 5 year deal signed at Villa.
Mirror saying he has a buyout clause of £30m if Villa aren't promoted this season. I don't think we've seen the last of this.

Whether he's a player we should be targeting or not is another matter, I haven't managed to get off the fence about him.

I've seen 45m mentioned, maybe that is even if promoted. Or it can be just speculation.
Guess 30 or 45 will decide whether we go in again or not.

I hope we're done with Grealish for good now. I just don't think he's a very good player.

We need 2 CMs, but the quality we need won't be available next window.

If possible, it would be wise to buy them for next season like Liverpool did with Keita

Just watched Lille take Marseilles apart 3-0 on tv. Lille got some exciting players in their front line - Jonathan Bamba, Jonathan Ikone and Nicholas Pepe. Pepe stole the show today, a strong quick and powerful wide player, but all three are destined for big things I'm sure. Pepe would be a great addition to our wide players. Their left back Fode Ballo-Toure also stood out again strong, quick and powerful.

I like the look of Salzburg's Amadou Haidara as a central midfield addition.
