DM and striker are two of the harder positions to fill and seemingly the most expensive. Lots of quality MF and winger types around but quality strikers are rare and top level Dms are not far behind.

Maybe MGW is meant for the 8..? He is a much better version of what Frank came from

MGW / Bentacour
Kudus / Madz / Tel (Son)
Solanke
Takes some pressure off some of the young guys while still having enough games to further their development.

Because sometimes we hold on to players for too long (Dier, Dele, Eriksen, etc). Not saying Deki should go, but if someone offers £70-80m, it may not be the worst outcome. He's not exactly the player that makes everything click. Losing him would impact our depth, but not weaken the starting XI in any significant way. Saying this without knowing how Frank plans on using him, of course.
His last Sports Director at Djurgården thought he would end up as a 6. He's got all the tools to become s great #6.
Eze staying at Palace and Mbuemo staying at Brentford. That could be quite amusing and sounds like a very good window.
£70m I think will do it for Wharton. Baleba might be wrong but I can see Brighton putting a £80-100m on him. Wharton would make us a transition nightmare for opposition teams, his ability to pass accurately and quickly into front players is incredible. Think about constantly having Kudus left 1v1 with an exposed defence.
I haven’t seen Wharton play much but from the highlights he seems similar to MGW. Though he seems ro play a little deeper. Not a 6 though. I’d rather we got defensive midfielder who can pass like those two do but defend like kante. Whoever that may be, don’t exactly grow on trees.
It seems AW is more an 8 and MGW an 8 / 10. I also wonder where that leaves Berg, Sarr, Grey and Bent. Could Bent play as a 6? I have my doubts.
All that said it’s great to see we are going for quality

No one is offering anywhere near 80m for Deki. Morgan Gibbs-White is a superior player in just about every aspect and just went for 60m on a clever release clause.
I agree though that he's now one of the more expendable of the lot - these latest transfers render him a handy utility player.
Nah, it's our new dutch boy, Bin Da Vies!
Where is he going to play?
Be funny if 3-4 years down the line the cheap Japanese kid ends up being our best signing of this window.
Well that’ll be a relief to Micky’s hamstrings

I think Takai is going to be really good, may need to bulk up a little.

Daniel Levy is on the jaffa cakes, isn't he?
That makes no sense to any of you AT all.
When I eat a jaffa cake, 30 seconds later, I've eaten half the fucking packet.
Levy was like "Ooh, George Tekei, that was tasty, nomnomnom, Kudus, corr but I'm still hungry, fcuk it keep going, MGW, self pity? Yeah but I'm having another one"
Maybe Levy has developed a spending disorder.
And that folks, is why I'm up at the crack of Dawn in the gym every day. Fcuking Jaffa Cakes.

Personally, when I look at our cm area it's actually sarr that I struggle to see thrive in a frank team.
Biss will be gone I'm sure. Bergvall, bentacur, gray and MGW will be ahead of sarr imo and that's before we potentially bring someone else in which we may or may not do.
I just don't see how are where he fits in a frank team. Hes neither a 6 or a an 8 that can play and dictate. Hes an athlete for sure.
Let's see
