Problem is we can't afford to wait and see. Dier I think has just genuinely been unlucky this season (appendicitis isn't exactly an injury) whereas Wanyama seems pretty crocked. I'd sell Wanyama if we can and replace him with a more progressive DM.

We still need to sign 2 midfield players, one a dedicated CM/box to box type and the other a DM.
Of course, mine was just sort of the no-brainers. If Eriksen leaves I would definitely add another midfielder.I actually think we need three. One for Wanyama, one for Dembele. The third for Eriksen leaving/Winks being injury prone.
Also, I don't rate Dier as a midfielder at all.
No chance in hell I would pay 45m for a player from the championship.
I doubt they would ask that for him too
That could be the price for Brooks for example, someone that has proved he can do well in the PL. Paying that much for someone that has only played well in a lower division is madness, specially after the recent example of Sessegnon, who looked completely out of depth in the PL.
In before someone suggests Donny van de Beek

With all the attention on De Jong, De Ligt, Neves etc., the one who’s under the radar at Ajax is Donny van de Beek.
He was superb vs Real Madrid and Juventus recently. A versatile midfielder who presses brilliantly, has excellent technique, and great footballing IQ.
He’s played in a more advanced role to accommodate De Jong, contributing 24 goals & assists in 48 matches. But from what I’ve read, he’s more of a no.6/8.
As much as Ajax have impressed, PSV are reigning champs and it’s going to the wire domestically.
Let’s chill before we start trying to buy the leftovers of the side ( anyone bar De Jong and De Ligt )
Dusan Tadic is one of their key men...
If Villa are promoted. Grealish isn’t going anywhere.But if they do come up, do we have a chance of still signing him? If not, we surely have to move on to other targets because we're in no position to wait a year to see if they're relegated & we can sign him then.
I guess (if they do get promotion & he wants to stay) there's the option to buy him & loan him back, giving him a year in the PL to get used to it again. However, once again, are we in a position to do such a thing?
