Stop referring to the players as tried. They are not tried just not on form.
That is a very different thing, you don't look at what Lucas was like at the start of the season vs recently and think he's looking a bit tired? That Kane's as sprightly as he was this time last year? Compare lucas' pressing in the man u game then vs psv or wolves, it's on a completely different level

And you know maybe they're not on form because they're a bit tired

we stopped pressing ever since we moved to Wembley and the majority not having a proper pre season. Its not impossible for a player to be tired but I think its more about form and a lack of fitness.

What do you think of Lo Celso as an alternative to De Jong??
He's been doing really good so far at Betis. (He's on loan from PSG btw)

They have a 30 mil euro option, although I doubt they will pay it . I'm a big fan, been saying he should be one of our top targets on previous pages. Would love him.

Exactly the type of player we need. Versatile too. Him and Winks would be a lovely midfield pairing.

Okay folks let's imagine this scenario....Poch suggests one major buy (£30m - £35m) who he wants to come in during January window and Levy (Being the tightwad we have come to know and love) agrees to his demands providing the club also ditches two players to help finance the deal (recoups at least £15m in total).........who goes ??

PS.
I am thinking Llorente and Dembele....

I would add to that list the Dutch striker. He's been on loan for so long I can't even remember his name! Also, we need a player who qualifies to be in the EC squad. We have been restricted to 23. Bad planning to not have 25 on the books? You tell me.

We can talk about left backs, back up strikers, whatever. There's one thing we need more than any other: a good and FIT central midfielder (who is preferably very good at link up play).

Given the fitness problems Wanyama and Dembele are having, we effectively only have 3 central midfield options and one of those, Sissoko, isn't a CM specialist. Winks has had fitness issues in the past too with his ankle so our midfield is hanging by a ligament :nailbiting:

Not seen much of Paredes. Is here more defensive or attacking CM?
I dont know how's he developed at Zenit, as I only watched the limited amount of games he got at Roma. But at Roma he was a deep lying midfielder with a great range of passing on him. Raw in understanding his defensive responsibilities but really fiesty in the challenge. I dont know how well he gets around the pitch as that doesnt matter much in Serie A.
