We need ballers, we have a lot of graft and pace in the forward position but lacking a high level of tech. Isak exists alone, big gap to Barnes and another to Gordon. It'd take our offence to another level. Cunha and/or Buemo would have been near perfect...

Grealish would be a poor signing as I don't think he has the motivation (assumption from a far) It at best offers a short term fix assuming a locks in fully but from a human element, it's a tall ask to ask a 30 yo multi millionaire to take a 'step down' and also expect him to put in the hard graft necessary to succeed. If the price is right, sure but would rather a 22-25 talent on the rise. We also already have 2 LWs so unless we're looking to play him in the middle it doesn't address any immediate squad concerns

They're both extremely versatile. Timber played CB at Ajax as well and has played LB for Arsenal. James across the line and in midfield (player of the season as a CM on loan at Wigan as a teen, also has CM stints in the Prem with Chelsea).

Purely defensively, Timber & Reece are both ahead. Rate Tino highly and hope they rebuff all offers

I'd rather the hottest u25 in the Champ, or better yet give Osula some burn.

His ego relative to his talent (or lack of) is astounding.

3 < 5

Mainoo and Diallo >>>>

There haven't been 5 MFs let alone players that have gone for £100m+ in the last few years

That's sweet and sentimental but not grounded in reality I love Bruno as much as the next man but everyone has a price, 120m (reinvested) would placate any angst from that hypothetical sale

Barnes needs to stay, the other 4 would be great to off the books (personally have no issue with Pope as thestarting keeper, and Bruno at that price w his age is a no brainer in the FFP era)

yet still miles better than who ever his backup will be

They are missing both Maddison and Kulu. It's yours to lose.

That Jan window in its entirety was incredible. Every single one (bar Woods) over performed even on the most optimistic expectations
