We don't need another 18 year old talent, we need players who can come in and do a job immediately for the rest of the season.

I said this in the summer, and saying again now, I'd try to get Brahim Diaz on loan from Real Madrid (with option to buy if they'll agree to that). On the other side Cunha would be perfect but I doubt he'd come here anyway. Mbuemo same, don't think it's realistic.

Bergval is 18 and currently carrying our midfield, he's one of our best players currently.

If they're good enough they're old enough.

That's fine but you need a mix of players with experience and young talents. Right now we're too skewed toward the youth/lacking experience side. We have what two players who've played in a final or been involved in a title race?

why exclude him just because he is young if he is good enough ?

we don't want a team of 18 year olds but that's no reason not to sign him, we've got plenty of experienced players

Hato
Luiz
Cherki
Dibling
I'd take Hato, Luiz (Douglas I assume) and Dibling.

But I wouldn't take Cherki even if he was free. The guy is what happens if you mix Ndombele's motivation with Taarabts adviser's

who have we got that’s experienced besides Son?

In finance there’s a concept called diversification. Well balanced portfolios typically do better than ones that are too heavily skewed toward a particular type of stock or industry. That means when I buy a stock I should evaluate how well it fits into my portfolio.

Same in football. You aren’t just buying a player, you’re buying a player to build a team. Meaning you should be looking for the traits that you’re missing rather than doubling down on the traits you already have.

I'd like Levy to sign me, I am 40 now but the good news is I have never played football professionally and so there is very little wear and tear in these knees.

Honestly the way things are going and the lack of activity, I'd be pleased to see us signing Neale Fenn.

Get both now - the shit has hit the fan and is spraying everywhere.

Pull the trigger and get it done. Don't fuck about fine tuning it - fine tuning's a sunny day strategy, and right now it's p*ssing down.

Would be delighted with both
Doubt we will get either but both would be fantastic ofc.

Not only young talented English players but also weakening our biggest rivals ;)

Would love Cunha but think he will end up at Arsenal. Although Forest have made him their main target and if we let him go there it would be ridiculous.

For CB I think we should get Alexsandro Ribeiro. Can play either side, great in the air and on the ball and quick.

Should try and get Dibling agreed for a summer move.

We do,but how many games have we lost by 1 goal after spawning a hatful of chances?
In which case not conceding is more important. We need both but bissouma cost us the arsenal game and plenty of others. We need experience as well. 18 year olds have been good but there's a reason we are losing and that's lack of in game intelligence.

I would argue that we need to put more games to bed to take the pressure off our defense. Also the 18 year olds haven’t been the problem, I’d fill our team with Archie greys and Bergvals!

We score goals if we have someone to stop us concede we'll be miles better
We are currently struggling to make things happen in the attacking third with Son and Johnson. That has forced us into playing Deki out of his best position and putting him at RW.

Son/Moore
Solanke/Richarlison
RW / Johnson

Should be our target now - since we missed out in the summer

I agree that we need a holding midfielder - but amongst Bissouma, Bentancur, Bergvall, Gray, and even Sarr - we have more cover than we do for the right wing position.

We should be focused on Europa as the only path back to CL - and we can only add one more player - the bigger hole is RW now, and then deal with the DM/holding midfield in the summer.

I keep reading from Wolves, Atletico and Hertha fans all agree that he simply does not follow tactical instructions. He's basically a one man army.
Very talented but I don't think Ange would go for him

Milan Skriniar for CB

Edersen from Atalanta for defensive mid

Jonathan David for Striker

And Gasperini if / when Ange gets sacked.

Job done.
