They’re overrated. Come back to the nerd sideI’ll try. I actually have friends now which reduced my free time somewhat.
Atal looks much better defensively than Pereira, which is imo the reason we didn't go for him

You’re on very thin ice pal.Post of the year, love sarcastic banter like this
We look to be wrong on that.
He's improved massively defensively wise this season.
I admit that I haven't seen much of him this season, but the few games I've seen he didn't improve defensively. He's no better than Trippier in that aspect. Much better going forward obviously

Squinted and saw the words ‘dennis wise’ in your orginal post. Quite restrained really- I’d have flung shit at the postie if it was me
Keylor Navas to be sold in the summer. Could probably come quite cheap as well, with his contract going out. I know Lloris is held extremely high to some here, but I would kill to have him. At 32 years old he still has at least 2-3 years at the top imo.
They’ll be interest in all players available at the right price but we seem to want to pull other teams pants down for average players. Levy has managed to get some high fees for average dross in the past but I think the days of newly promoted sides being desperately ripped off may be a thing in the past and people are wise to Levy. In addition, foreign teams can’t afford to pay the money English teams can do in fees and salaries so that avenue has been limited.Poch cannot be watching these games thinking 'Im happy with this squad'. Imagine going into a CL semi final and being forced to play Llorente and Wanyama. Yeh we've had horrible luck with injuries but the squad players have to at least offer something. We need 5 new players minimum this summer, 7 if Toby and Eriksen leave. Can't see who would be mental enough to want any of ours though. Perhaps Trippier and Dier might attract some interest but the rest of them are falling apart at the seams.
Yeh, Bruno please.
See Poch? It doesn't have to be that painful...

Nice to see that a lot of players linked with us can play the multiple roles that we know Poch likes to play, if it was up to me...
Atal: (Rb/Rwb/Rm/Rw/Lw) so versatile and with all of the hype around Wan Bissaka, I think he is obtainable and would be a brilliant signing, kid looks mustard, probably available for £25-£30m? Can’t be worse than our current options...
Sessegnon: (Lb/Lwb/Lw) Seems set to join us, and hopefully the few won’t be daft, still very raw, but bed him in whilst we have one more season of Rose and Davies will allow us to have a great bench option for next season!
Tielemans: (Cm/Cam) Might have lost his way at Monaco and fair enough if Poch didn’t rate him..but if he has watched him at Liecester and isn’t convinced still, I’d be absolutely shocked, was so highly rated only a couple of years ago, reminds me of Moura as someone touted to be world class, stumbled a touch, and needs that fresh start. Would drop £40m in an instant.
Berge: (Cm/Cdm) my other choice for CM, absolute destroyer but has a little flair and great skill with the ball too. Genk has a great track record and would hopefully be available for £20m ish...
Grealish: Can play Cam, out wide and a bit deeper if needed...absolute baller, I will hold my hands up and say I was never a fan, but i’ll eat my words and say he has stepped up big time, will only come if villa fail in the playoffs, but will hopefully see a pathway to England too if he continues his rise!
If we can bring those players in, and tie Eriksen down to a new deal that would be incredible...if we lose Eriksen I would love either Brandt or Ziyech, who both have low clauses, and would be great replacements.
5 players there and none really coming more expensive than 40m...we can become title contenders without even breaking our transfer record, not too much to ask for a club that’s done nothing for 18 months...
@LeParisienIf you ask Leicester fans that watch him week in and week out you will find they think he's improved.
And any fullback is better defensively than Trippier. He's an average Championship defender in that aspect.

I think what with today's prices it'll easily be £200m.... and beyond!Levy spending £200m?!!

Your “average championship defender” comment. If you said “average pl defender” then sure. Harsh to go that far !!
