You shouldn't believe everything a manager says to the media, especially Mourinho. I have no idea if we would be going for him if Sissoko wasn't injured. You don't either tbh.
Ok if Kane wasn't injured would we be speaking to AC Milan for Krzystof Piatek. Please Im not claiming to be ITK far from it .I do have years of experience following my club like others. I have some idea speaking to fellow supporters about the direction of the club it's not rocket science.

Maybe this is another one of the targets Jose thinks our money would be better spent on? (re Trix in ITK thread)

Looks like a player that could be converted to a beastly DM to me, and Lille seem open to sell at the end of the window.

Have to assume they are selling Pogba this summer. Looks like they will spend that money proactively, which is smart.
Yeah maybe, be interesting to see how many they get over the line.

Watched some more YouTube clips yesterday, athletic player with decent skills, but don’t see him as the DM type. Looks similar in style to Gedson Fernandes. A better fit would be Florentino Luis, but not sure how attainable he is.

I think whatever role we may have had in mind for Soumare has now gone to Gedson Fernandes.

Talk of another midfielder seems to be focussed on DM, not sure that is Soumare’s game. Agree Fernandes is likely filling the gap Soumare would be earmarked for. Here’s to hoping for Florentino Luis, some clever financials and some Jorge Mendes help.

But Boubakary Soumaré is a DM no? Gedson is more box to box, like Sissoko.

Soumare can play DM or box to box. If he came here I think Mourinho would use him as a DM or in a CM double pivot.

Ndombele Gedson
Soumare
Although the above would be interesting imo. All of them can pick a pass, dribble past players and could be a hard working trio. We would need a quick right WF to really maximize this though. Probably would need to imitate Liverpool's style of attack.
