Yep, saying Barca, Juve & City all after him.. Hmmm I wonder which one he will pick if he has an opportunity to leave on a free?!Linked with Rabiot again through Paris United

As I look at the 25 man squad now I see 5 possible areas we can upgrade if I’m being fussy.
LB: for all Davies improvement I still think he is no better than a decent back up. And it’s looking unlikely Rose will ever be same player.
DM: will wanyama get back to his best ? Even if he does part of me thinks dier/wanyama are too similar and I’d possibly trade in wanyama for someone a bit better on the ball.
CM: Obvious dembele replacement. As long as winks gets back to best,starting to think I might keep sissoko. He causes no fuss and is a useful 3rd choice or 7th choice AM lol.
AM: Nkoudou is a waste of space, I’d probably replace him with someone young upcoming. Not sure we to spend £70m on a zaha tbh.
ST: Obvious Kane back up needed handy if could play wide as well.
I hope we can get 1 or 2 in January otherwise next summer we could need 5 or 6 which will be a stretch. 2 of the 5 I’ve pointed out could be young potential. So that leaves 3 major signings at this point to strengthen us. Nothing in the summer has defo left us playing catch up next 2 windows.
I don’t think any of us would/could tackle an empty crisp packeton the contrary my friend, the window went completely to plan. Issue bullsh*t rumours of a warchest- check. Sell out STs and cheese room- check. BSoDL insist we can only complain after the window has slammed shut on our noses- check.
We know that when we sell that pussy Eriksen, who couldn't tackle an empty crisp packet, the proceeds won't be used on the stadium to optimise the value of ENICs investment? Don't we?
I don't see us getting a back up striker in tbh, with Son and Mpura both showing they can play up front to a fairly decent standard.
Still don't know why we didn't take a punt on the kid from Hamburg.I get what your saying but I still think a young upcoming would be a good option like calvert-Lewin or Abraham.
Turned out he was nowhere near ready. Hamburg got relegated but Arp is still playing for the 2nd team.Still don't know why we didn't take a punt on the kid from Hamburg.
I don't expect him to be ready as he's only 17. Was worth a cheap punt and we could either loan him back, or keep him and play him in our reserve teams while he becomes HG as he's that young and would be eligible for that by the time he turned 21. Most would still consider him a talent from what I can read but he was in a terrible team and is still really young.Turned out he was nowhere near ready.

We could loan him to a place where he could potentially succeed... I don't care, it was a punt on a talented prospect for cheap that would effect HG rules. He's 17, I'm sure he would be fine as a successor/backup to Kane for a while.Not sure how he's meant to improve if we loan him back, by all accounts if he's not improving now then there isn't much point, same if he's playing for our reserves.
These sort of players need first team football at a generally higher level if they're ever gonna get better and progress, pointless if we buy him because he's never gonna see the first team.
I mean really, what would be the difference in doing that vs Foyth? Except we would be getting him even younger.Not sure how he's meant to improve if we loan him back, by all accounts if he's not improving now then there isn't much point, same if he's playing for our reserves.

Edward out ?In: Grealish (with a loan back to seasons end to clinch the deal)
outs: GKN, Fernando, Sissoko, Edwards, Aurier, Janssen,
