Why do people keep mentioning Kyle Walker Peters? He’s so bang average at best! Why don’t we sign Sessegnon back too! Sign a player because he’s club trained even though he’s not good is bonkers. The same people who mention this moan about how our squad is shit when we have injuries and have to play these types.

I would honestly be happy if our window was

Eze
Mbeumo/Semenyo
DM (hope our scouts have been looking well)
Kyle Walker-Peters (cheap and club trained)

I assume we are selling the below anyway so that’s a good chunk covered and on top I think we could see another few out of the door.

Solomon (£20m)
Bissouma (£15m)
Son (£40m)

You’d take that all day. Rather have 3-4 sure fire first teamers than 6-7 punts. The club will go for the latter though. We won’t sign Eze, Semenyo or Mbeumo imo.

We need a cover left back, makes Kyle Walker-Peters a good options

I was thinking about him - but even with his CT status - i would pass.

As FB we have: Udogie, Spence, Porro and Gray as an option (plus in theory VdV). Think Spence as major cover for both LB and RB is enough. Especially since under Frank fullback role should be simplified.

Only addition i would consider here is either LB/LCB hybrid, or someone like pre-injury Rico Henry (dynamic left footed guy who can cross). KWP does not fit any of those profiles.

Was having a think earlier about Eze and I’m not sure where he plays in a Thomas Frank team other than number 10.

Can’t see him wide left in a front 3, cause Frank seems to like proper pace and more inside forward type players, which isn’t Eze’s game.

And I don’t see Frank playing 2 number 10’s in a midfield 3 like Ange done with Maddison and Kulusevski. His system is far too structured and pragmatic for that most of the time (not saying that’s a bad thing).

So do we really need 3 top players who’ll all want to play every week in Maddison, Kulu and Eze vying for one position? Especially when we’ve got other gaping holes in the squad that need filled.

If one of them was to leave then it’s a different story. FWIW, I’d happily sell Kulu to get Eze in, I wonder if Kulu will be a great fit in a Frank team, I’ve never been totally sold on him as a number 10, and he definitely ain’t quick enough to play right of a front 3 under Frank.

I just don’t see how you keep the 3 of them happy in a more structured system that we’re expecting from Frank. They’d be an amazing 3 to rotate in the two 10’s under Ange, but I think one has to go before you sign him for Frank.

Sell. Kulu.

Its a massive issue for us and already we won't be able to fill all our spots in CL because of it so some senior players won't be registered for that competition. PL rules are different so we aren't as bad for that but it's a real issue for us in Europe so the more players we can sign who are HG the better

We can still name about 24 players for CL. Just means some first team squad plauers might not get a space

100% - keep reading ‘get him cos he’s cheap’ then moaning we don’t spend enough money on quality players!
