Curious to see our approach at CM. If we can’t move anyone on, do we still prepare for the summer and sign and loan back a player like Frendrup or Vermeeren (or a Championship player like Wharton)?
Fernández looks like a class playerI think it is one more 6/8 to rotate with Sarr, Biss and Bents who are all able to play both roles. Maddison is the 10 and he can rotate with Kulu. Personally i'd like us to take a punt on a talent like Ezequiel Fernández from under Liverpools noses and cheap. He'd be the 6 but is good on the ball, that said I appreciate the need for a HG player to replace PEH and definately if they replace Skipp. Personally Gallagher is too expensive and i dont think his quality takes us to the next level.
with you on this one. big fan of his style and believe he'd be an excellent fit to our style of play.I’m sure I’m in a minority but I’d certainly take that. I honestly think he’d be brilliant for us.
I could see this. Depending on budgets, if we can’t get our top tier option, some sort of young player for the longer term would make a lot of sense, especially with some of the links. All feels like progress to me.Curious to see our approach at CM.

the Dodgers way (guess who is part of their ownership group).How about we pay that fee, over 100 years to them with a 100yr contract like they do?
I am not in favour of helping Chelsea get around FFP by selling club trained players to gain maximum profit. This allows them to go and splash out on a striker or Todibo this window.. Please guys let this make sense.. This guy is not so amazing that we need to be desperate for him and get Chelsea out of a hole in the process.. surely we are not as stupid as Arsenal and Man Utd..I’m sure I’m in a minority but I’d certainly take that. I honestly think he’d be brilliant for us.
£45m up front plus minimum £10m in add-ons is quite lumpy considering he’s entering the final 12 months of his contract come the summer…..
Long-term - Skipp is not good enough to get significant minutes, and we should not count Kulusevski as a CM - if we are relying on him to be the primary RW.Have to be honest and when I look at our midfield options (even with PEH leaving) it looks like this:
6 - Bissouma & Skipp
8 - Bentancur & Sarr & Lo Celso
10 - Maddison & Kuluševski & Donley
I’m not entirely sure we are in desperate need for another midfielder. The above can all change positions as well if needed.
If we can get Vemeeren then I’d be all for it as he looks to be a superb talent but with the likes of Devine, Kyerematen and Hall all doing very well at their respective progression I’m not sure we are really in need of another midfielder in the mould of Gallagher.
All depends on how realistic that price is and how it compares to likely offers in the summer.In their defence his performances have been mostly good, I could see Levy asking for £50-60m easily for Gallagher. It’s their desperation to sell a top performing player for FFP that shows how poorly that club is run.
Think about Levy desperately trying to sell Maddison or Romero to Arsenal, that is close to what this is.
