CM is the priority position IMO..... Dele & TN out with no CM in wouldn't impress me at all.
Berg <> De Ket = fine.
or
Berg <>Traore (not a fan but c'est la vie) = fine.
Robbing 'Peter' (i.e. CM) to pay Paul (attack) solves little.
Indeed.... The chain of events is meaningless.. The net effect is all that matters.
I think we are stuck with Skipp, PEH, Winks and Gio as our CM options until the end of the season.
No real links at the moment and we'll probably go for Kessie/Brozovic on frees in the summer.
For what it's worth consensus seems to be that we want a RWB, LCB and a forward in January.
I'd be happy with 3 in and the aforementioned 5 out.
That then leaves the summer for another CB (Sanchez upgrade), CM upgrade and another attacker.
If done right I think those 6 signings can make us competitive again. Big if obviously.
So over the next two windows:
Out
Ndombele, Dele, Rodon, Doherty, Bergjwin, Tanganga, Sanchez
In
Traore, De Ket, De Vrij, Pau Torres, Kessie, Vlahovic (the dream)
A lot to do but not impossible.
