I know nicky cowley (huddersfield manager) and asked about Eze and he told me he is excellent going forward but doesn't have defensive bone in is body, can't see Jose being interested in some one like that if true

35m for Hojgberg or 40m for Milik. I know which one i'd go for!

Kane is consistently injured at start of every calender year. We need that quality striker to cover.

I'd even go as far as to say drop Kane deeper in an 'Eriksen' role and play them both. Sell Ndombele. Although a quality player he isn't needed.

Buying 2 playmakers in GLC and Ndombelein the summer was madness, especially when we are screaming out for a DCM.

He can be coached to add defensive bone in his body.

Add Moura in Milik deal, Add KWP in Hojberg deal.

You might want to let his brother know that he is no longer manager according to your ITK?

Something that worries me about Hojbjerg is the fact I have not read anywhere during his time with the Saints where any of their fans highly rate him. Now people will just say thats because he wants to leave but even before then they didn't rate him on the same level of Wanyama. If we are signing a player from a Southampton I expect that player to stand out but since he has got injured Southampton look better in midfield.

I have said it before but if we hadn't been linked to this player by the press nobody would be discussing him.

He can play anywhere across the 3 behind the front man. I think this would be a damn good purchase, and I think we need to bring both Eze with his creative style AND a winger with supreme pace in to give good options for both 4231 and 433.

Would be a great buy, especially if we consider moving Lamela and/or Dele.

If we sold Dele for 80-100M, put 20M here, 45M at DM and 15-35M towards the fullbacks or back up striker, we’re a much much more balanced side.

Who is going to buy Dele Alli for £50m let alone £80-100m?

If we don't buy this kid im going to be fucking fuming.

I thought the ITK from January is that we’ve already agreed a deal for him for this summer? Although I’m banned from the transfer forum here so this may be from another site.

Yeah, it was here - Hercules said it was all agreed for the summer (“barring a calamity”) and I don’t think we’ve had any of those :whistle:

Watched KWP play against Sterling yesterday & I thought he had a decent game & letting him leave could be a mistake in my book.

Leipzig have apparently agreed a deal to sign Benjamin Henrichs (RB) from Monaco, so could be worth keeping an eye on Nordi Mukiele.

It's often the case that these kind of players don't usually stand out because they go about their job in a quiet manner. Idrissa Gueye at Everton and Ndidi at Leicester two examples of those types who don't stand out but read the game well.

They don't stand out cause they don't go around crashing into challenges, their game intelligence allows them to know where to be positioned. I often ran into people who say that Sergio Busquets is average yet you speak to any professional or coach and they'll say he is extraordinary because he is intelligent off the ball.

Right now we have no-one in the squad who can do this job, Hojberg doesnt have to be the greatest in the world but as long as he provides a springboard to the likes of Ndombele then he'll be worth it.

The season we ran Leicester close. we had Dier operate in this position and I believe Hojberg is a better player in this aspect.

My wife is Polish and she said her dad told her there's a lot of jokes in Poland about Milik and his finishing.

e.g "Tupac would be 47 today if Milik took the shot"

milik or lewandowski - who is better finisher in poland?

Milik would be a disaster signing. He's like a Soldado all over again. He's not quick, not strong, not particularly good int he air. He's had multiple ACLs. What the hell is our scouting department playing at?

the corpse of mario mandzukic is a free agent. seems like a perfect levy & jose bargain.

I'd take him over Milik, any day of the week. At least he's super strong in the air and always worked hard.
