My feeling with Alli is that he reached the top and then decided to coast a bit. If a young player loses the motivation to keep improving then they're inclined to go backwards. They don't stay on the same level, like they hope.

 

If he can get his ambition back, he'd be a good buy.

He is on the outside of one of the most talented England squads, that has a chance at going the distance in Qatar. Got to think he wants to get back and be involved. That said, if he wants and England call up would mean not moving to Newcastle obviously lol

 

Also just realised if we get Bakker, at 21 years old he shouldn't count towards PL squad limits should he? Another bonus.

So what's the deal with this Bakker? He only went to Leverkusen in the summer. Seems to have started around half of their league games, so not sure if he's been injured a bit, or more of a squad player for them, and if he sees this as a step up being in a better league for a club with big potential (and wages), or to possibly kick start a career?

Galetti claiming Milan have accepted 15m for Kessie from Spurs in the tweet below that. 

 

He'd be perfect for us. 

He'd be perfect for everyone outside the top 3 (even possibly them).

 

Edit...I was hoping we'd have him tapped for the Summer.

He signed a 100k a week contract then decided he likes playing video games more.

Really good article that. Key points for anyone who doesn’t have access:

 

- Still want 2 CB

- Still want 1 LB

- Still want 1 holding midfielder 

- Still want attacking midfielder 

- Still want another striker 

 

Usual names being mentioned, Gueye and Bissouma (he would be considered a marquee signing) are the names mentioned for DM alongside Kamara and Haidara.

 

Says now AFCON players will also be considered as well.

Bissouma would be the signing of the window if we got him, would be perfect for us.

Somewhat less than perfect though if he serves jail time, depriving us of a player and £50m.

Week today til the window is done

Sweepstake on what  we'll get

1 Centre back

1 left back

1  mid

1 loan deal nee idea where they'll play

Agreed, a realistic week would be: Diego Carlos + Bakker + CM (probably a 50m player) + Alli or Lingard.
