Damn good idea sir! I think Saint-Maximin plays in the other side.
Also includes Sterling, Rashford, Jesus, Bale and Perkins
Did I? ;-)
Let me know which position and I'll check.
Paratici and Conte are very good, but that's a lot of players to bring in and get comfortable in the system before the new season.
Rob great idea, is it worth adding players we have bought in the positions and putting them in bold?I don't know about everyone else but I'm losing track of who we're linked with in each position so thought it'd be useful to start putting this together.
The idea is we list each position and the players we've been linked to in that position.
I'll make a start but could do with everyone's help. Post a player we've been linked to and their position.
GK
Mamardashvili RCB
? LWF
Carrasco
How about adding Adama Traore - RWB or RWF ?
At the beginning of this window we’d been linked with him once more. But have heard nothing on this for some time now.Have we been linked with him again?

But that list would make a hell of a strong squad (edited to add this clarification that I was making a joke about brining in everyone in the original post. Admittedly, they don't always land. )
There are some mitigating factors in this:
1) A lot of our current key players are now well acclimatised into the system.
2) Perisic and (hopefully) Eriksen both have first hand experience of playing for Conte.
3) Bentancur and Kulusevski settled really quickly. I think that's testament to Conte and his teams methods.
4) We seem to be trying very hard to get the players in for the start of preseason for this exact reason.
