I read somewhere today that Napoli's Diawara has the hump over a lack of playing time. How do people rate him?
Him or Haidara from Salzburg are who we should be aiming to sign.

He's just scored and reminded me but Sander Berge would be a relatively riskfree central midfield signing with high potential
I hope our scouts read this forum because these all great shouts. Diawara being my favourite, but I imagine he is the priceyist of the bunch (apart from N’dombele of course).
Diawara has world class composure on the ball, doesn’t matter what situation he is in he always seems to make an option for a pass, he never panics.
Also has some great vision.
I concur with the last few CM suggestions.
Whenever it happens , hoping we can get one CM in without another leaving , trading out Dembélé, Wanyama and adding in 3 of the following is where my expectations / desires lay.
Diawara
Lobotka
Cook
Doucoure
Berge
Haidara
Pineda
Donsah
Kranvitter
Paredes
Rice
Ascasacabir ( think I may have pulled that off)
Wendall (forgive me if he's moved since I've last watched him but from a few views he seemed to be destined for good things. As far as I'm aware he's the midfielder other than the Arthur who went to Barcelona to be rated so highly)
Few names I've forgotten tbh but that's enough players with a mix of different strengths I'd love I see in either 2-3 men midfields.
Most should be within our transfer budget, wage and the type of quality to add depth / push us on. I'll leave out a few names that I don't think are realistic but I'm guessing anyone with an interest knows the big names.
I watch substantially more foreign football as I've been housebound 90% of the last 2 1/2 years and I'm not saying I'm an expert but I'd be happy with any of the above as from viewing them all a few times I really like them.
Just in case anyone thought I was basing my opinions on Fifa or football manager. Tbf I still expect to be told that haha
100%.
How poorly is the club being run that we'd have to resort to that.Best get crowd-funding then innit...

Cracking player don’t think he was appreciated pity we couldn’t get over the line in terms of silverware for him.I assume he'd rather leave in January so the club get's some money for him as opposed to just running down his contract and leaving on a free?
Absolute monster in midfield for us over the years.
So he can walk this dec? Doesn’t even have to see out the last 6 months of contract? I thought Bosman moves are only signed in winter window and come into play in summer window??
Cracking player don’t think he was appreciated pity we couldn’t get over the line in terms of silverware for him.
And one of the few players who actually had a decent go at annoying cunts like Diego Costa and Sergio Ramos.One our most talented players in modern times but clearly not much left in him.
One last payday he deserves.
