We certainly need another player to play cdm.
for the apparently bargain price that sangare would cost, the only question must be why aren’t other clubs interested?
Is there something about him that we don’t know, making us (and others) pass on this no-brainer of a deal

Herc's ITK made me think of Sangare, a year left on his deal. A fan of this guy, hope his game could convert to the Premier League.

Yeah, I was thinking the same. However, he also mentioned a quarter-back style of midfielder, as I have never see Sangare play, does he fit that category?

Other midfielders in their last 12 months:

Luka Modric
Arturo Vidal
Javi Martinez
Conor Hourihane
Jack Cork
Danilo
Fernandinho
John Lundstram

Calhanoglu is another one that jumped out at me, maybe not quite a “quarter-back” but he does pick up a lot of assists.

Maybe by quarterback he means it’s our latest scheme to convince Harry to stay and we’re signing Tom Brady? He’s not made the most auspicious of starts at his new club.

I would look to go for Todd Cantwell at Norwich, 2 years left on his contract couldn't imagine he would be too expensive and would be much better for succession planning.

Sangare is an exciting player with terrific upside. Hard in the tackle, athletic and can pick out the long pass - ideal for our speeders. Apart from Hojberg, we’re bereft of defensive midfielders. We need him - or one like him.

I agree we need another dm.

Cyprien who we were linked with in January too

With under a year left now, price wise suppose he could be had for relative peanuts. There was talk of Valencia having to sell players this summer, don't know if that situation has changed now but wonder if we could have an opportunistic look at Kondogbia right at the end. They also have Carlos Soler who roughly fits the quarterback type of player but doubt he'll be going anywhere on the cheap.

May not be an option right now. But I can certainly see us swooping in come January. Especially if it becomes clear that we need more depth in midfield as a results of one of Winks, Fernandes and Sissoko perhaps not quite cutting it. The kid would only have 6 months left on their contract. So, Levy wouldn't need to dish out more than 10M, I'd think. For a player that would probably go for 35M if in the middle of a 5 year contract. Perhaps it's worth being patient with this player.

Think there was talk of Toulouse willing to accept 8m-10m euros in this window. Relegation and the current climate no doubt has hit them hard.

We are still shockingly short in cm, we need to find a DM who can pass forward quickly and efficiently.

It's amazing that we have signed 5 players and we are probably still 3 players short.

If this guy is any good get him in, but our record from France is poor. I think we need someone a bit more experienced.

I like this signing, but we need to sell off Sissoko and Winks tbh if we're to fit him in. The QB option sounds right.

Definitely need to offload Sissoko but there is no ITK that they are willing too, which surprises me. He had his one good season but he now does not offer anything in defence or provide any assists. can't see him getting into that midfield with NDom Lo Celso Hojbjerg, and Winks and Gedson both ahead of him.

Have we had any links to this guy or is it just people wish we went for him?
