A beast in the middle would transform this team. Getting Lingard and Tarkowski is good but the defence got to get protection. For all the Joelinton and Shelvey having good games lately, legs in the middle should be highest on the agenda. Agreed As we've seen before, legs in the middle (e.g. A N'Golo Kante type) is literally the difference between being at the bottom end one season and finishing top the next season. It would transform us more than any other position. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kamara isn't the same level as Vlahovic. He's very good and has a good future ahead of him, but people are talking about him as we've been interested in him since before the takeover and he has 6 months left on his contract atm.

I suppose it depends on who else is in for him though. We know Arsenal are leading the race for Vlahovic, so that's a non-starter, does Kamara have other clubs in for him who might be ahead of us at this point?

nufc4eva Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 If they could only fill one position centre midfield would be it, legs and athleticism are sorely missed in there. Would like to see Lingard and another attacker but really need to create that solid base as well, centre defence, centre midfield and 1-2 attacking options.

I know Zapata is ridiculously expensive for a nearly 31 year old, but really think if we signed him we'd be guaranteed safety. He looks absolute top level.

We are very reliant on Wilson, and Wood ain’t it I’m afraid Sorting that midfield would change how we attack fundamentally. We are expecting ASM, Wood etc to feed on scraps. A good midfield would help control games more, regain possession and offer outlet further up the pitch for them Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man Utd have been rumoured to be but there's nothing concrete. Same with Villa, Wolves, et al. We'll see, but he isn't unrealistic imo, definitely not as unrealistic as Vlahovic. No chance of getting players like that until we're in and around European positions, nevermind safe from relegation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Zapata would be insane. If we're paying £25m for Chris Wood then I'm not going to scoff at Zapata for £10m more Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vlahovic looks limited anyway. I know he's only young like, but feel like someone is going to stung for £80m or whatever daft it is he's being touted for.

TheInfiniteOdyssey Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Just my view, but if Alli signs I think he’d really reignite his career here, he’s got (or rather had) the perfect blend of guile and nastiness in his game. Think he’d really enjoy playing up here as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cubaricho Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Definitely more interested in Alli over Lingard, if there has to be a choice that is. Would prefer having both to be honest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
