A signing like when we got Parker 4 years ago.

Lassana Diarra.
Sorry bud, that's bullshit.
Dembele poking someone in the eye and will get a ban - 28 years old
Kyle Walker starting fights for the second game in a row - 26 years old this month
Jan ripping Costas shirt - 29 years old
They're three of our oldest players.
We've got a young team, it's easy to see correlation but that isn't causation. Dier, Lamela and Rose did kick out, but so did every other player on the pitch and our oldest squad member, Vorm, in the tunnel.
Well yesterday highlighted what I already thought, our best XI can beat anyone in the league and is up there as one of the best 2-3 but we need more depth coming out of the bench, especially in CM and in attack. We need better impact player than Chadli and someone who can cover for Dembele when he's out injured.
get those and I'm sure we can challenge the title next season as well

A good dm, a very good atacking midfielder and a good striker. We only need this.
Witsel(wanyama), boufal, bernardo silva, isco, james something like this, lacazette or michy.

I disagree. I think that if you look at the composure of our players during play, Dembele, Toby, Vertonghen, and Lloris were all the most 'calm' overall.
Even though 'calm' last night is mainly in relative terms.
The main priority is a good striker and a dm/cm on par with dembele and dier. Another creative attacking midfielder would be nice as well.
Those are the three positions Greg Stobart says we're looking at. Makes a lot of sense.

I was going to suggest Xabi Alonso, but then checked his age. 34 is probably pushing it a bit. I agree with the sentiment though. I think our midfielders could use an experienced mentor playing alongside them.
Aye, and you can easily turn around and say that's down to their culture, rather than their age. 3/4 are Belgium and the other shares a border.
Not that I'm making that argument, but I think saying aggression = youth isn't true
Go away, you tragic manc
Squad for new season
Lloris, Vorm
Walker, Trippier, Rose, Davies
Vertonghen, Alderweireld, Wimmer
Dembele, Dier, New, Benteleb, Mason
Lamela, Son, Eriksen, New, Alli,
Kane, New, N'Jie
That's a 22 man squad (23 including the 3rd choice goalkeeper).
I'm a Chadli fan but i do think we could improve on him by bringing a young talented creative player to replace him. That could possibly be Pritchard but i dunno. i think 3 cb's is fine as Dier can obviously cover if needed and the DM/CM we bring in would slot into Dier's DM/CM role. Caroll and Yedlin to be sold (i'm not a Mason fan at all but i think we need him with juggling all the cup competitions).
That's what i want to happen BUT i think the following things could happen:
* Davies is sold and Umtiti replaces him.
* Benteleb is sold.

Do you actually mean dollars or just couldn't be fucked putting quid/£?
Because if not, you thinking Kante will leave for £14mil is an absolute joke.
I'd rather we had 4 "proper" cb's and let Dier concentrate on developing himself as a midfielder. Maybe Dominic Ball could be our 4th choice cb next season?
Other than that I pretty much agree with what you say.
Him leaving Leicester for us after this season is unrealistic. Thinking they'll sell him for £23m is crazy. $23m is insane.
