Sandro Tonali looks an incredible midfield talent. The 18 year old is an ever-present for current Serie B leaders, Brescia.

would people still take Kovacic if he were to become available in the summer?

Yes, Zidane ruined him and turned him into the complete opposite of what he was at Inter.

He should never have agreed to the Chelsea loan, it was obvious that the midfield balance was going to be an issue.

He should have gone to a club where 1) he'd be starting week in, week out and 2) where he could play in the exact position and with the exact style that he wants to

I know it sounds a bit underwhelming, but a midtable PL club would have been a good fit. He'd basically be the biggest star at whichever one he chose and could totally boss it, before a big move in the summer.

That said, if he had chosen to play for us in the summer he would have got plenty of chances to impress, because of our injury crisis.

It's funny how the fortunes of players can turn quickly, because of a bad transfer move (or two).

Florian Neuhaus is still the one for me, though the last match I saw him in was not great. I also think that, even thing inconsistent, Jack Clarke has some real verve about him (was saying this before we were linked).

I’m actually a big fan of Josh King, he’s HG and would be a great versatile option who could come in for any of Kane, Dele or Son. Quick, strong, goals and assists always ends up in double figures (with an emphasis on goals) and is 1 in 2 so far this season, 1 in 3 last season, 1 in 2 the season before, so he’s consistent too. This is for a worse side than us where he’s neither goalscorer or creator in chief. His ability to play a few positions would ensure he got game time.

If Cardiff go down, Neil Etheridge as a Vorm replacement would be good, he’s a big part of why they have kept their head above water.

Agreed, and this is why Tielemans went to Leicester despite people saying he should be aiming higher.

There was some interest on here with him last season (or was it the season before?).

Quite a few didn't rate him, but you'd have thought he'd be a good long-term successor to Llorente.

Not sure how much he'd cost nowadays though...

Being in the States, I don't have access to Champ league football. I did see a list of the best young players in English football,
and contracted to English clubs right now. See many of the same names listed on this wishlist.

I also live in the US. I recommend getting an ESPN+ subscription. They play Championship matches, as well as, all FA Cup and League Cup matches. They also air Serie A, Eredivise, MLS, etc. all for $5 a month.

Who do you suggest we go for as a RB? I would love Wan Bissaka but don't think its realistic considering the price he will cost and our needs for a new CM. Most players coming from abroad could have the unproven tag thrown at them too. We also need to add some more homegrown players, youngsters such as Aarons, Lewis & Clarke. We should have moved for Brooks last summer, I think signings like these on top of a big CM signing are the way we should approach this summer.

Not heard of him before this. What an elegant composed precocious talent. Can see why he’s dubbed the ‘next Pirlo’
