totally agree with this post.
fernandes looks a good player, but surely we’ve got that type of player in the squad? I suppose with outgoings it could work (as others have alluded to).
if there’s money though, there are surely other priorities.
I do wonder whether he’ll really take to GLC and Sess
Not sure where all this concern is coming from regarding Lo Celso and Sessengon - we're one game in with Mourinho. Let's see how many games they play before January.
I reckon Mourinho will see Lo Celso as great competition for the number 10 role and an inside forward. Can see Sessengon having the Aurier role on the left, while potentially playing Foyth in the Davies role at right back.
Which brings me to Fernandes. He'd be a like-for-like Eriksen replacement, but since it looks like Dele will be Mourinho's number 10, where does he fit in? All good having lots of options, but seems like a lot. I reckon we'll look to offload Lamela in the summer, not because he isn't a good player, but he's just too injury prone.
Next season we could have:
ST: Kane, Parrott
LW: Son, Fernandes
RW: Lucas, Lo Celso
AM: Dele, Lo Celso, Fernandes
CM: Ndombele, Winks
DM: Dier, *NEW*
LB: Sessengon, Davies
CB: Alderweireld, Sanchez, Foyth, Vertonghen or *NEW*
RB: Aurier, *NEW*
GK: Lloris or *NEW* , Gaza
