Interesting who we might go for if we spend a decent chunk on a Hojbjerg replacement. K Thuram, Caqueret, Mats Wieffer. Locatelli or Koopmeiners?

Edson Alvarez will be linked but he's overrated imo. Don't think his performance scales up to quality opposition. Gallagher would be alright as a high energy, pressing 8 who chips in with goals.. don't particularly rate him as a high level player tbh, think Palace was the perfect level for him and said as much at the time. Samardszic is talented, cheap, not sure he's ready for a big step right now though and more of a 10. Amrabat is good but he's nearly 27, good but not great, Hojbjerg'ish level. Quite like Dion Lopy who plays under Will Still at Reims, but he's young, needs another year or two playing every week.

Itll be Amrabat and you'll like it.

Bissouma is absolutely a 6.

I'm pretty sure Skipp is a 6 too.

Sarr is the question, I think, as well as whether Kulu is a winger or is capable of tucking in as an 8.

I think in any event when everybody is fit it will be Bentancur Bissouma Maddison across the midfield.

That’s the way I see it too. Sarr is an 8 imo.

I’d actually be fine with giving him a run until Bentancur gets healthy.

Imo yes.

Lenglet with the ball is better than VdV as well. Just not a great defender

Not sure about that second part. Lenglet always looked timid to me. He had good technique but it was like he didn't know how to use it.

Maybe that's just how we set up, lack of movement and instruction. But van de Ven strikes me as someone who backs himself on the ball and knows that sometimes, his passing aren't going to come off but he ain't going to shy away from it.

Lenglet left foot is as good as it gets.

VdV maybe really good as well. Just don’t know that much about him
