Tom Lawrence and Jason Knight, do you want us to go down like?

Both full internationals and clearly good enough for the Prem with other prem clubs interested. Saves us a chunk of money but they will improve our squad massively. Both been playing excellent and Derby’s best players, Knight is only 20 as well.

Switch from World class to players in Premier league relegation battle to ones in a Championship relegation battle.

Wanted us to stay well clear of the likes of Ali and Ramsey at the start of the window but that was because I thought we would end up with better , would take them both now even though one hasn’t played well for about 5 years and the other has hardly played in about 5 years .

Bentley was class too. Just completely fell out of love worth the game. Same might be said for Alli tbf.


Used to enjoy watching Blackburn around that time. Pedersen & Bentley on the wings, the likes of McCarthy & Santa Cruz up front, Samba & Nelsen were a good partnership, Friedel in goal. Mark Hughes had something there.

Alli got 8 goals and 4 assists in 20 games' of minutes in 19/20 under Mourinho. They're good numbers and that's not long ago. It looks like it was mostly as the middle of the three in 4-2-3-1.

He played 38 games and got 9 goals that season.

Seen Bakker played 40 times for PSG last season and only went to Leverkusen in the summer. Seems a bit odd that he would move again. 

 

LB is probably our least pressing position but I will gladly take any recruitment if they present an upgrade to what we have already. It's not like the Rafa days where £16m on a LB meant we had no money to spend on a something-else.

As silly as this sounds I think full back is a very important area in Howes system. He’s like them to overlap and get balls into the box so I can see why he’s going for this.

It's a fair comment. Any signing that enables Howe to implement his methods is an important one.

A proper left wing-back who's good on the ball gives us a lot of flexibility like, I know it doesn't outright improve our starting XI to the extent a central midfielder would but we cannot really go the rest of the season with Dummett and Lewis. Dummett especially is a great stand in (and probably a more than capable starting LCD) but it means that our attacks down the left will always have to come from the winger and whoever plays LCM (Joelinton).
