Think all team in and around us have that in Rodri for City, Casemiro for Manu and Partey for Arsenal. Would possibly take us to another level in my opinion. Who that player is I have no idea though.

If he is available we have to go and bring him back. Ha cannot under any circumstances come back to the Prem and end up at Villa man. Hell no!

Players like Billing fall into the Sarr/Cornet category people were keen for in the summer but the club never seemed interested. I realise this is flippant but there’s a significant part of me that thinks if we replaced Longstaff with someone who can do all of the graft he does and put away chances, we’d win the fucking league.

Optimistic Nut Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 Neves would be the ideal. Means we can play the same way when Bruno is out and still have that quality on the ball. He'd be able to play alongside him when he's fit too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 Yeah, Neves makes absolute sense now. I imagine he'd cost a bomb though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought we needed one before Bruno got injured, with another one to follow in the summer. As I can't see Shelvey staying and we need rotation in there. Even if Bruno is only missing for a few games. I still think we need another CM this window. If Bruno is out for a month or more. Then we desperately need one in.

Optimistic Nut Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 (edited) I think this is also where a Tielemans would be handy.if we're priced out for Neves. £20-25m seems like something we should be pushing. He's not as dynamic as Bruno or Neves but he has that bit about him when he's got the ball that we lack without Bruno.
