SANDER BERGE YESNoussair Mazraoui – 21 year old RB at Ajax. Currently out with an injury and Ajax are looking to bed in his 18 year old replacement. So depending on how well that kid does Mazraoui could very well move this upcoming window. - YES.
Wilmar Barrios – And old favorite of these threads. Have done well at Zenit since making the move last January and would give us some much needed steel in the midfield as a DM. - No, rather use Skipp.
Denis Zakaria- 22 year old talent at Gladbach. Could be a good alternative for the DM spot. - No, see above.
Florian Grillitsch – 24 year old CM at Hoffenheim. Can also play DM but CM is more his forte. A third choice for Barrios and Zakaria IMO. No - Don't need more CM's.
Bruno Fernandes – Would greately soften the blow of Eriksen going off the boil and looking for a way out. Has confirmed that we had a deal wrapped up with him and his agent before Sporting decided to throw a wrench in the works. Worth revisiting in January. - FUCKING YES.
Willi Orban – My go to replacement for one of the Belgians. Been at Leipzig since 2015, the key to their CB setup and their captain. Would be the perfect guy to steer our defense whilst Davinson and Foyth matures. - Can't comment.
Lewis Dunk – A more domestic alternative to Orban. - Good god no. Ake a better option.
Ryan Fraser – Bournemouth's little Scottish wizard. On his final year so we could make a move for him in January before next season. - Interested on a free.
Federico Chiesa – Second generation starlet at Fiorentina. Worth keeping an eye on. - Not yet.
Other names to keeptrack of are Kalifa Coulibaly at Nantes, Sander Berge at Genk and the Marseille duo of Morgan Sanson and Maxim Lopez.

No chance that we sell Moura (to United), Dier could be an option as long as we replace him properly, perhaps with someone like Sander Berge.They still want Dier! I hope so anyway.
Ma United 'plot double raid on Spurs for Lucas Moura and Eric Dier'
Manchester United boss has reportedly made Moura a transfer priority over the next 12 months, while he's also considering a move for Dier after his dramatic fall from grace under Mauricio Pochettino.www.dailymail.co.uk
God, yes. He's a fucking powerhouse.Denis Zakaria- 22 year old talent at Gladbach. Could be a good alternative for the DM spot.
It really isn't that simple though when you consider Wanyama being a shadow of his former self and three key players all out of contract next summer.It really shouldn't be a transition year though. Literally the whole squad is exactly the same as before apart from Sessegnon, Tanguy and Gio.
a fit Lo Celso

I'm not having the whole transitional year excuse this time mate, the players imply have to find solutions and stand up to the plate. Man U & Chelsea are absolutely there for the taking when it comes to the top four slots, no excuses to be had that is the minimum I expect from this group.
Poch blindly dislikes certain players yet blinding stays loyal to others. How is Davinson Sanchez anywhere near our starting XI at the moment the bloke has shown no signs of learning.
We have so much talent and have probably now seen 3 of the 5 hardest away places to go pass us by. It's been a ropey start but no excuses, a manager and club who has had 6 years at the helm simply cannot use the transitional excuse, it's feeble and o won't stomach it. Poor form yes, it happens but what is so transitional about our team at the moment?
I'm more worried about centre backs than anything. Both are probably leaving next summer.
Do we have a plan? Seems crazy to lose both at the same time.
Poch is molding both of our younger CBs by playing them at RB.
That's funny - made me laugh out loud.I'm hearing Atletico Madrid's RB is tearing it up so far. Maybe we could give him a look.
Söyüncü + Ricardo Pereira + Maddison for less than £60m.Soyuncu cost Leicester a measly £18.99m one year ago.
Soyuncu cost Leicester a measly £18.99m one year ago. And look at what we have lumbered ourselves with for twice that price. I'm fucking ripping.
Davinson's biggest problem is playing alongside Toby.He is effing two levels above Sanchez of last/this season unfortunately, agreed.
PLUS he seem to be enrgetic/fighter kind of a guy. While Davinson ... is there
And funny how Toby is still miles ahead of Davinson.Davinson's biggest problem is playing alongside Toby.
Funny how good he looked playing alongside Jan, but how much worse playing beside Toby.
Also funny how the Toby + Jan pairing looks so much weaker too.
