I still think we’re down without a centre mid. I feel like our options are even worse there than centre back. At this point, a high end Championship midfielder who can run about a bit and break up play would be an improvement. 
 

Get a CM in ASAP. CB and Lingard and/or a striker would also be nice.

The Spanish press have said consistently from the off that it'd take a bid, somewhere in the region of his release clause, for Sevilla to part ways with him. If he's an integral part of a side challenging for the league and a European Cup they're perfectly entitled to do that. The most recent reports have led us to believe we haven't returned after a second bid was rejected.

 

If you believe the English press Sevilla have unreasonably moved the goal posts, constantly raising the fee, but not a single source has been consistent in what we have bid or what Sevilla have asked for. They've simply maintained a 'talks are ongoing' line throughout. 

 

As ever, I'd imagine the truth is somewhere in between.

I’d go for that Berge from sheff Utd if he’s fully fit now.


Not really seen much of him, but seems highly rated. I always thought Lerma looked good and worth a punt. Then again. I remember thinking Lemina looked class for Southampton whenever I saw him and we were linked a few years back. Totally dropped off. So not sure I’m the best judge of ‘average’ midfielders to take a punt on.

IMO it's not surprising at all that they're struggling to reposition once their initial targets slipped away, given that we don't even have a permanent director of football in place and are probably relying entirely on scouting data from the old regime.

This just shows Nickson is poor at his job. Carr would have been ready 100% for new investment at any point.

Given our two primary CB targets were Botman and Carlos, I can't say its that concerning.

 

I was referring to the fact I think Howe is the major influence in terms of deals like Wood, which is a shocking signing at £25m.

 

Botman and Carlos were our primary targets but it is concerning if our backup targets are people like Tarkowski and Phillips. Again, I may be wrong but potentially Howe-led.

 

Given how much say Howe is having with recruiting our scouting team, I would be concerned if that’s the case.

That’s all guesswork really. I’m sure tarkowski was linked here before howe was even appointed
