Sounds like poch wants signings in January
Looks interesting but are we really in need for a right winger? Feels like we already have good backing in that area. I have been hoping for a world class, or at least a potential world class DM signing for years now. The likes of Jorginho or Ndombele etc..Would love for us to get Pepe who's also mentioned in that Times article. Will be a star.
Ridiculous how blinkered some people on here are. As said just because he’s not called dackic or might not have a cool haircut people are totally dismissive. Also as said people were quite happy with grealish. I think he’s maybe 18 months older if that and his numbers put grealish to shame. Obviously it’s a punt, any player from the championship is. But Maddison has shown the gap isn’t as big as people make out. If people were happy taking a punt on grealish there’s absolutely no reason to be so dismissive of dack.
Have thought Tripps has been one of the better performers recently - alright he isn't as solid as Walker in defence, but he has improved massively in the last year.With Winks looking like he can stay fit our CM options have drastically got better however Wanyama and Dembele fitness issues have become a concern so we might how to look at that (Dier is so important also).
I feel we need to improve our full backs. I am not a fan of Trippier at all tbh and personally would prefer Aurier. Ben Davies is a steady player but not really great getting forward, Rose is never fit so I'd personally like to see an improvement at left back.
Also another left footed winger wouldn't go a miss.

Poch absolutely buzzing in his presser - can't remember the last time I've seen him this animated...
Transfers bit is from 5'50" to 8'30"
He wanted signings in the summer
If you think he wasnt bothered youms a mug.

Someones going to have to explain the winger obsession to me again. We have 5 class attacking mids (and a very solid 6th with Sissoko). Its arguably our strongest position, with 4-5 positions higher on the list.
We have Son and Moura to play as out and out wingers but its quite clear he has no interest in doing this. I just feel it would be a waste of money when we're soon gonna have to replace Dembele and Llorente for nowt (with maybe only 25 chucked in from Toby for a CB).
It is a good group, but I’d still say, Eriksen apart, it’s also a rather wasteful group, who quite often make poor choices when a clinical pass or shot is needed. We could still use someone in there who has that on-board computer that makes them choose the right pass more often that not.Have to say:
Eriksen
Son
Dele
Lamela
Moura
Is now a very nice AM group gives you a bit of everything. Bringing another in would really give you quite a headache who even makes match day squad.
If he hasn't signed yet then we should definitely try and nab Declan Rice, looks a talent.
Agree - looks good as a DM, good mobility and passing range for a CHIf he hasn't signed yet then we should definitely try and nab Declan Rice, looks a talent.
