go and get andersen from palace as backup, decent defender who can actually pass a ball. if could get lenglet for cheap hes a far better option than sanchez, dier and tangnaga. lb needs looking at for cover to udog. that would be a decent squad for only league football and a few FA cup games to worry about. bentancur and gil will add some actual quality to the depth when they are back which is very much needed in the midfield and forward line.

After the entire site has spent the entire window saying anyone but Lenglet, you now want to sign Lenglet?
Comical.
hes a far better footballer than sanchez, dier and tanganga. so if hes cheap it makes sense. you aint going to get much better if youre not even playing european football
He'll probably make fast friends with Ndombele and in 3 months time we'd be calling him Fatty.
So you think he’s going to sign a 12 month contract?
Your genius never ceases to dumbfound me.
bit worrying that no CL team wants him
yes lets get another defender who cant defend, imagine choosing between lenglet and sanchez if the big two get injured, a snail moves faster then he does
you have the one that can actually control and pass a ball....its quite important in the game of football funny enough.
i mean if you hadnt worked that out you only needed to watch earlier. one too many donkeys and its a shit fest
Why would we want to do this with no buy option? Stupid
But how many minutes did he play? The less he plays the less chance he has of picking up injuries or aggravating existing issues
Looking back, it’s interesting how reminiscent our squad is to when Pochettino took over, especially in terms of sales. In his first three windows, we cleared out a number of players who didn’t fit the system, failed signings, youth players who never kicked on, players with attitude issues, and players it just became obvious weren’t going to be good enough. A lot of those players were pretty decent, but all of them were sales that needed to happen and I think we’re about to go through that process again over the next two windows.
Dawson, Sigurdsson, Lennon, Kaboul, Adebayor, and Chadli we’re all solid or very good players in their time here, but just clearly didn’t fit the system or weren’t quite good enough and had to go, I think we’ll see the same with PEH, Dier, Perisic, Sanchez, Forster, Lloris, and Davies. Moura already gone.
We had to clear out a number of failed signings in Soldado, Paulinho, Holtby, Chiriches, Capoue, Stambouli. Very likely Ndombele, GLC, Sess, Reguilon, Gil, Spence and Rodon will be gone by next summer.
Our squad then was cluttered with a number of youth players who had made the first team but weren’t really capable of playing for a club trying to compete at the top of the table like Livermore, Mason, Naughton, Townsend, Pritchard, and Carroll. Winks has already gone and I think Tanganga, White, Parrott, Whiteman/Austin will all be following shortly after.
Unfortunately we probably won’t get everyone out that we want this window, but I’d predict by the end of next summer, we’ll only have a handful of players who were here as recently as the Mourinho era. I wouldn’t even be shocked if they club looked to sell Son next summer while he still has value.
The Ange era is coalescing around Vicario, Romero, VDV, Porro, Udogie, Bissouma, Sarr, Maddison, and maybe Richarlison and Kulusevski if their form picks up. Everything else is a moving piece and others will have to earn their spot or be replaced in the rebuild.

Give the crap away to charity & buy some quality
Live in Spain and have Barca fanatic mates.Good article summarizing Fati’s injury history.
The fall of Ansu Fati: From Barcelona's next Lionel Messi to Brighton loan move before his 21st birthday | Goal.com US
Ansu Fati was once tipped to be Barcelona's heir to Lionel Messi, but he has now fallen out of favour under Xavi and is set to complete a loan move to Brightonwww.goal.com
None of them want Fati to leave. They weren’t fussed when Dembele went and would happily sell Raphina.
Personally think the kid is through the worst for injuries and is still an elite elite talent.
Leaner squad.
Hes definitely lost a yard of pace though. If its a loan then fine but I'd be reluctant to buy him.
The Lo Celso fan club and others touting for certain players because of the odd moment will hopefully settle for a while.
We need 2/3 signings before the window closes. As clear as the yellow thing that sits at the centre of the universe.
My tone for the season will be set by what does and what doesn't happen in that time.

So what do you want then....a loan now to buy next summer deal or a straight buy this summer, and how much would you pay? 50, 60, 70 mill??
