Finally you conceded that we will need to cut people - it's been an ongoing issue since Poch and won't be resolved this window it seems.
Now we've got past that point I do agree with you that an attacking midfield player is probably a better option than having Aurier in the squad - no way would I cut Ndombele, he has shown he can do it he just needs the right motivation so now that's on Nuno.
As for yet another backup striker who contributes very little - personally I wouldn't bother.
Ideally we would sign homegrown players, sadly Traore doesn't count so if he is going to be signed that's another foreign player on the rosta.
