Warming to the idea of the Dane, but doubt anyone can spell his name

PEH
He's good on the ball.. I like him.. However I don't think he's what our midfield needs, Hjolberg switches off defensively to many times for my liking, loses midfield runners.. I think we need a real athletic player in cm with a bit of nasty about him (have no bother kicking someone if it breaks up play) for a Mourinho team I'd rather Jefferson Lerma Bournemouth he's a dirty fucker an absolute **** to play against but you'd want him on your team than against..

it’s always been a pipe dream, but the player we need is Zakaria. If Lewis/Levy really want to be part of the trophy mix, that’s the player. Maybe he can be had for only 50M now? He’d instantly be the best player on the team by miles and miles and he’s exactly what we need.

If it means we have to sell Dele to make it happen (it shouldn’t), so be it. Turn Dele into Zakaria and Eze from Queens Park Raisins and I think we still get quite a bit better on an overall basis.

Instead we’ll pay 30 for Hojberg who is “fine” but not at title chase level.

Why in the world would we sell Dele?

I think Lerma is every bit as good as Zakaria & knows the league..

I said earlier in the thread, but Hojbjerg and Kondogbia would be ace signings. Dembele and Wanyama #2. I’d like to see us set up as we did in the last season at The Lane, the year where we really should have won something. I believe we were mainly like this:

Dembele Wanyama
Eriksen Dele
Kane Son (who was allowed to wander around rather than being just a striker).

which we could do again:

Hojbjerg Kondogbia
LoCelso Dele
Kane Son

Doesn’t leave much room for our most expensive signing. But it does allow for him to replace LoC or Dele without the responsibility of tracking back so much.. Also Bergwijn can step in for that role behind Kane and Son, but can also replace Son in that free role.

So I would get Hojbjerg and Kondogbia, a left back and two right backs, a CD, and possibly look who can replace Hugo.. If we can find a good deal for a Striker to step in for Kane, that is a bonus, but I believe our main problems are From the Defensive midfield and back.

For serious? And I suppose Callum Wilson is every bit as good as Lewandowski?



We absolutely shouldn’t. But if the only way for us to get Zakaria was to do so (and we were guaranteed to get him), I think that move makes our team better.
A year ago people didn't rate Ndidi.. It all depends on the roll a player is asked to do.. If you don't think Lerma can play that position I'd say watch some Bournemouth games, I don't think it's any coincide there defensive record has improved drastically since he's been there.. I think Zakaria is a good player just not a 60ml player & that's what Gladbach are asking

In fairness if Kondogbia was given time to get used to PL I think that would be a solid midfield 2

Your judging it on a different league & Zakaria often has a free role as part of back 3...he's a good player but I don't think he's a 60ml euro player

Bournemouth, in general, have an awful defense. Fairly certain they are like bottom 5 in the league in goals conceded. Not all on Lerma, but he’s not had an impact on their overall defense like you stated. They’ve been a bad defensive team for years, and still are.

robertson and maguire played for hull when they relegated. aarons, lewis and godfrey are linked to big moves. overall poor performance of a team does not necessarily apply to individuals imo

He has made difference.. Watch them he gets about the pitch & is a nasty fucker...I really like Ndidi but after him Lerma is best in that role in PL.. It's a drop off mind you.. Ndidi is excellent.. I wanted us to sign him 2 seasons ago.. I'm thinking affordable who would let Ndombele & Lo Celso play & be that nasty fucker who nobody wants to play against & frees them up..
