I thought Eze played wide rather than central, I'm mistaken by the looks of things, it would certainly be crowded - dependent on out goings (during the summer).ITK seems to think we have a deal for Eze in the pipeline. He'd take a while to get up to speed IMO but I can't see us getting Eze and another high profile Eriksen replacement. Jose seems pretty sure that Dele plays that role now although obviously different to Eriksen.
Yeah well I guess I'm going off my personal opinion that I don't really see Lo Celso playing the CAM role. I see him as an 8, but also with the potential to play the 10 if the main 10 is out. His characteristics doesn't strike me as a pure 10, he likes to get about a lot and link up play in various areas
Yeah, you're right. I guess if the manager is playing him in that position, we just gotta roll with it. But yeah if so, Alli and Lo Celso would be enough. However, another top creative 8 would be required.You might be right.
I just haven't seen evidence that Mourinho see's him there. Also he had his best season playing for Betis as a number 10(and occasionally striker) where as he apparently struggled for PSG playing as a number 8.
Isn't Gedson the new creative 8 to understudy Ndombele?Yeah, you're right. I guess if the manager is playing him in that position, we just gotta roll with it. But yeah if so, Alli and Lo Celso would be enough. However, another top creative 8 would be required.
I'm greedy. Seriously, I don't think Gedson and Ndombele is enough. We really need to push on.Isn't Gedson the new creative 8 to understudy Ndombele?
As far as ITK has said (Herc) we are still looking at DM to play alongside Ndombele.
Adding from this though, I do personally see it being Ndombele, Lo Celso and Gedson.. in that position, whereas Alli and a top new 10 in the CAM roleI'm greedy. Seriously, I don't think Gedson and Ndombele is enough. We really need to push on.
Anyone but Eriksen and we’d see an increase in return.More than anything else, I'd be excited to sign Bruno because of his set piece delivery. We could add 10+ goals a season easily just by having someone capable of taking corners and free kicks.
Still don't think it'll happen though.
He's playing for Sporting against Benfica tomorrow so not done yet. Feels like last summer a bit. Looked nailed to Utd, faded out and we made a late move. Maybe Utd get their man this time but I hope we do instead!
He was always going to play in this match, Its a huge Derby game , no way they were guna let their star player go before this match
Potentially, however aren't they short on cash? One bad injury and this goes up in smoke
Interesting thought posed on Twitter that maybe the deal is stalling thanks to Jorge Mendes because we want the player but want to sell Eriksen first.
Incidentally that's looking all but done now for 18m euros.
That really shouldn't make any difference, Eriksen needs replacing as he'll be off for free in the summer anyway.
Jorge Mendes may like Mourinho and want to keep us in the loop if there is money in it but this is business and it's very unlikely we'll pay more than ManU.Interesting thought posed on Twitter that maybe the deal is stalling thanks to Jorge Mendes because we want the player but want to sell Eriksen first.

Sure but it's better to free up the wages and get around £15m from Inter before sanctioning a move for Bruno. After all, what if we signed Bruno first and then Eriksen deal fell through and we're stuck paying CE's wages til summer and getting nothing for him.
Makes sense IMO. Levy runs a tight ship. Too tight probably but I get it.
Isn't he "only" on 60k pw? If he decides against Inter, then I would have to insist he doesn't play to keep his bonuses down.
