We have Udogie coming next season (he looks incredible but not so sure on how he's going to adapt) and Perisic has been decent thus far (although tonight he was a calamity). I doubt LWB is high on their priority list.

Perisic would likely be so much better in 352.... Bit more space to operate... 2 CFs to aim for from out wide.... More defensive cover from MF.
You could have said that during any January over the last two decades.
If we need players now. We needed players on 1 January. So game after game this month risks being sacrificed to save ENIC money.
Spending the whole window looking for a fucking RB while playing Davies and Dier @ CB is Criminal. The squad is ridiculously poor everywhere, if you can’t link bits of it together into a coherent team.
Son is broken. His replacement, Richarlison was @ Everton for a reason and has proven his worth with zero goals. ZERO. A 0 in 12 strike rate. That cannot be defended anymore than Son’s shite. Fucking £50m to do what, run about a bit.
Sessengon keeps getting minutes when Josh Onoma was more convincingly aggressive in an attacking role.
Hugo looks as effective as Kasey Keller.
It’s now ok to surrender 0-2 to a “big club” for reasons and claim they played well.
And still the tumble weed blows.

I trust Paratici! He is cooking something
Oh it can......
New here.... Way less game time...... Injury..... Mostly played out of position........
Cooking the books is likely
Cake with a file in it.....?
I've watched Udogie a few times. I wouldn't say incredible. He's strong and likes to move forwards and join attacks, can be a bit less lively when defending. I still think we need to move Sess (and maybe Peresic) on and bring in another LB too.
I have as well, and the potential is great on him. Bear in mind the kid is 19, and the physical and technical aspects are great. The tactical aspects are much easier to coach to a young player. I wouldn't rely on him being our starting LWB next season though, that's way too much pressure even for him.
That's why I'm saying we need another one.
Talked about this kid (Lovro Majer) a few times. he's not perfect, not my first choice, but can play that 8/10 remit and would be a much cheaper (and non wankhorn) alternative to someone like Maddison (his XA90 is 0.28 v Maddison 0.16 for example). Says Rennes would want about 40m Euro

Why did you go and have to burst my bubble BC. I was hoping he’d set the left wing on fire next season.
Because unbelievably he prefers his rwb's to be world class like MATT DOHERTY and EMERSON ROYAL
Pmsl
Djed Spence is one of those new arrivals that really deserves minutes on the pitch He has so much talent and why Conte chooses to ignore him to play the two world class clowns we have is beyond me
He tore up the championship last season and tore woolwich (single handidly)and us to pieces in last seasons FA Cup.

Yeah, I don't think the Modric comparisons do him any favour. And I don't think his stats for creation, progressive actions, dribbles etc are lived up to when I watch him play, and he looks a slightly sluggish athlete. But he does have good touch, ability and any amount of things our midfielders don't. He's definitely a player I've not made my mind up on yet, but we absolutely need someone in that mould.Talked about this kid (Lovro Majer) a few times. he's not perfect, not my first choice, but can play that 8/10 remit and would be a much cheaper (and non wankhorn) alternative to someone like Maddison (his XA90 is 0.28 v Maddison 0.16 for example).

No one has much success in the January window unless you’re shopping for competing teams rejects — which being honest is what Bentancur and Deki (and before them Lucas) were — or paying a massive premium.
I think he’ll offer more than Sessegnon. He’s a strong lad who likes to attack, shows more confidence and strength than Sess. But I’ve not been convinced by his defensive work, reading and diligence wise. But he’s still very young.
He’s not Modric and never will be, and there are other guys out there I like more for the midfield/AM/8/10 hybrid remit, but he’s good enough to be on the “list” imo. He played in a double pivot against PSG Sunday and didn’t disgrace himself at all, worked his nuts off without the ball and he won more tackles than anyone - which isn’t his forte.
He can move with the ball, and plays with his head up, can play incisive passes. I’ve never really thought of him as sluggish.
His basic numbers are quite impressive considering he’s not playing with great attacking players in a pretty conservative set up:
