Yes he did but also he mentioned somewhere else that some 'fan favourites' might be moved on. I think it was possibly in conversation on here.

Well, you're right we don't necessarily need 9 attacking options etc.I do agree that we need quality in depth but I think comparing to City is a bit misleading. They're a completely different business model and can afford to have 3 players they bought for 50m+ sitting on the bench, whilst I'm not sure we have that luxury. I'd love for that not to be the case tho, and think Ndombele and Lo Celso would push us right behind the top 2.
With all due respect my pal...that midfield would get torn to absolute shreds. Ndombele is not a defensive midfielder.

Maybe Lamela? With his tackling and work rate Lo Celso seems like a replacement for Lamela more than anyone
I think he meant that Poch prefer type of player Lamela is. Lo Celso is more like Lamela than Moura. Keeping Lamela and selling Moura would be something inexplicable.Maybe. Although JJ also said Poch rates Lamela higher than Moura so who knows ??
A healthy Lamela is a better player than Moura. Moura is all straight ahead, Lamela has much more to his game.Maybe. Although JJ also said Poch rates Lamela higher than Moura so who knows ??
Lamela is a better fit for the high energy press and is more creative but Lucas is more decisive and can stretch defences.A healthy Lamela is a better player than Moura. Moura is all straight ahead, Lamela has much more to his game.
The issue is he’s never healthy.
Agreed but I would say that Dier is better alongside Sissoko than Wanyama. We just dont pass the ball so well with Wanyama and Sissoko together and end up going long ball. Wanyama doesn't do so well alongside Dier either because they're both too defensive, so it only really leaves Winks as a good partner for him now that Dembele is gone. For that reason and the history of injuries I would sell Wanyama. I just dont think he fits into our midfield anymorePeak Wanyama > peak Dier, but I think Wanyama is far less likely to ever reach that level again. Plus Dier can play in multiple positions.
He should be considered a replacement for DembeleMaybe Lamela? With his tackling and work rate Lo Celso seems like a replacement for Lamela more than anyone
No-one can find any mention of it using the search function so it was either on twitter, or he's deleted the post.
The most Betis have ever received for a player is £27m. Now suddenly they want three times that for a player? £50m is even huge for them, I doubt we will go too much higher than that and I suspect they will be very tempted at that figure.

I’m not sure that’s overly relevant. Spurs’ record sale before Bale went for £86m was Berbatov for £32m. United’s before Ronaldo went for £80m was Beckham for £25m.The most Betis have ever received for a player is £27m.

Just because the most they’ve ever received is £27m doesn’t mean the player valued at £70m becomes lowerThe most Betis have ever received for a player is £27m. Now suddenly they want three times that for a player? £50m is even huge for them, I doubt we will go too much higher than that and I suspect they will be very tempted at that figure.
