Conte had concerns that Gil was too lightweight for the PL. It wouldn’t make any sense to sign Edwards for a large sum just to warm our bench.

Edwards has more in his locker, a better burst of acceleration/agility and he actually looks to have gained a lot of strength recently. Seen him shrug someone much bigger off with ease recently

Not sure we could register the entire Porto squad. Plus I think Sporting would rather like that

Our attack is not our main area of concern at the minute. Can we not fix our defence first by signing a couple of quality CBs. That should be our priority this Jan.

Well, I was going to dismiss it out of hand but it is the Express so I don't know what to think.

I think our attack and defence is not up to scratch due to lacking in midfield. I think a creative and a box to box would see us doing much better all over the pitch. We desperately need a keeper though. Hugo has been a brilliant servant to the club but all good things must come to an end
