Sheffield Utd have an excellent RB but they probably won't sell at the moment.

Just checked Google Maps and there are streams flowing all over Malta, so should be easy enough.
The Alena links seem to be hanging about.
I would happily take another baller in central mid. Admittedly I'm basing this on a 10 min Youtube clip but he seemed to have a bit of the Lo Celso about him. Diminutive, good at taking the ball under pressure and wriggling out into space, has a good change of pace as well.
He's a player that makes sense when you consider Dier maybe becoming full-time CB and Wanyama out the door soon.
Fernandes seems like a luxury right now, I'd love him as an Eriksen replacement but that can wait until the summer. A right back is obviously crucial but can we get someone top drawer in January?
Lo Celso, Fernandes and Son behind Kane, with Ndombele and a purely defensive midfielder would be insane. How much would Ndidi go for...?

I mentioned a while back on here that I was fortunate enough to go to Barcelona in January and I caught the game vs Levante at the Nou Camp. Me an drew my mate (Woolwich fan, don't judge me but feel free to judge the living shit out of him), said within about 20 minutes that he was the standout player that caught our eye. From what we've seen think of a slightly less dynamic and direct Lo Celso and a much better quality version of Winks who players more attacking. If Alena comes in it'll be a top little signing, nice, tidy, clever movement, can pick out a pass both one touch and whilst dwelling on the ball etc.
My issue is based on what I saw I don't see how Barcelona let him leave, especially on a permanent transfer and in the Spanish league the pressing isn't anywhere near as intense so the acid test would be how he can handle players breathing down his neck all of the time. If we lose Eriksen and gain Lo Celso and Alena, honestly there will not be a better deal to be had that we could have got. One to keep our eyes on for sure, he'd be a well loved player in a Spurs shirt if we can pull it off.

Worth a punt?
Onana, Atal, Upamecano, Zakaria & Alena would be wonderful based on the recent links we've seen.
Still unsure about Bruno Fernandes but I haven't watched him enough to say that I'm completely against it but let's be honest, the numbers don't lie.
Give me 3 of the above over the next 2 windows and I'm probably going for Atal, Upamecano and either Alena or Zakaria depending on how this season pans out. Not so sure we need a new GK just yet and I'm really feeling that new Sissoko/ Ndombele looking midfield for the time being.

I keep saying it but kalvin Phillips at Leeds has to be worth a look.
He plays under Bielsa so no issue with Poch in terms of understanding the methods . His homegrown, in the championship which should mean his very affordable and he fills a position we desperately need to strengthen.

Does Brozavic still have the 45m buy out clause?
He had a good game. Watched it, although not too attentively. Pretty sure they moved him from RB to left mid at half time, which was odd.
Obviously good going forward. No idea if he can actually defend.
Perfect levy purchase young can be developed and then sold on for huge profit I say do it.
If we are intent on getting another striker in we could do worse than this guy.
Young, done well at Celtic and is apparently looking for a move. INB4 "lol Scotland" I do think it could be worth scouting the top clubs in these smaller leagues. Celtic are a big club after all and he would be coming in with a winning mentality and mindset already set.
Just look at Rodgers now compared to him before going to Scotland for another example. Sometimes it is good to go to a smaller league to blood yourself in before going to the big time.

Re JackClarke; Nah i'm not buying it. I can't believe that any young talent would sign for a club without having a talk (even by phone) with the manager about what plans he had for the player. Bearing in mind this was a £10m purchase not some spotty youth getting his first pro contract.
Looked good against Lazio the other night
I've heard from contacts that Leeds cant believe they got £10m for him. I guess time will tell.
That could well be true, £10m for a kid who couldn't nail down a starting spot in an EFL side. But i still call bullshit that he signed without speaking to Poch.
