Olmo is much more than a right winger anyway. He can play across the attacking midfield in an AM3 and as a No. 8 in a CM3. His versatility is one of his top attributes. He's a player who would immediately represent an upgrade on Lucas and provide us with the second playmaking AM we're clearly after as Eriksen leaves the club (we all know we can't rely on Lamela's fitness) for 22-25m. Seems like a no-brainer except for the fact that we've got higher priorities.

Doesn't matter what they are to you, you're not building the squad. An attacking mid is so far down our priorities I see no way this happens.

Maybe so, but if there are no players available in those priority positions then we shouldn't pass up an opportunity to get a quality attacking midfielder in, especially with Eriksen most likely going this window.

Although I know nothing about this particular player and whether he is any good or not.

I'd agree he shouldn't be our main priority, but from what I've seen from this kid at both club and national (u21) level, he seems to be a real asset and would love to see him in a Spurs shirt. Considering his history with Barca though, I think he'd only move to a club that absolutely guarantees him an immediate starting role/minutes, which I don't see us doing.

Ah, my friend, but we never actually have priorities, you see, only the appearance and whispers of them.

We haven’t scored in three straight league games and have our most creative player leaving us most likely. RW is fairly high up there with DM & RB for me. Lucas has been pretty terrible this year and especially if we’re going to stick with Dele as a #10 we need someone at RW who can offer more in terms of assists/creativity than Lucas. Lo Celso should be a 10/8 and Lamela should be off in the summer as he clearly can’t be relied upon.

Well sure but again, that's for you. We only have so much cash, I can't see it going on an attacking mid when we're stocked at the mo.

I suppose we can just blame it on the new manager but it was seemingly a high priority in the summer. Whether we believe that or not I guess.

We have enough for Olmo who will be worth 3-5 times more than what we paid for him in couple of years. Will be worth double as soon as he signs for anyone.

We may have enough. That may not leave enough to cover more pressing areas.

Looks like an Ostrich. Don’t want.

"kicker" reporting Leipzig are in for him and agreed terms with the player, close to agreeing with Dinamo

so we could see him in February at the Lane

Sounds about right. Smart club sees talented young player on clearance sale and buys him.
