wow people do go overboard with a purple patch.
I think this is why we will get Spence as our RWB. Has similar characteristics to Hakimi (obviously not as developed yet, this development was done under Conte), English and this loan to forest has done his attitude the world of good, it seemsDoesn’t one incoming player need to be homegrown if we are going to have a squad able to compete in 4 competitions? A first team player, not a buy-to-loan youngster.
Agree, Bissouma should be the Winks replacement.
But SMS/Eriksen should be the new CM option to enable us to switch formation. Hopefully getting a free transfer at LWB enables us to get 2 new midfielders.
I think we're waiting on Inter to secure Bremer before bidding for Bastoni. If Inter have the Bastoni money, buying Bremer will be much more expensive for them. I think they've asked Paratici to hold fire until they've got their man. Works out for both clubs!
I am disappointed that we're not in for Frenkie De Jong? One of the best midfielders in Europe and only 25. We could get him for £60 - £70 million.
I expect Bastoni will take a long time, cos he's a big ticket item. Inter's one chance to really rake in some cash.I actually think we are waiting to get agreement with Inter for a suitable fee for Bastoni - with the implied threat that if we can't agree we will bid for Bremer.
And Inter need to raise money which they plan to do by selling Bastoni and buying a cheaper Bremer, but trying to make too much money by over pricing Bastoni .
If we are to compete for multiple trophies next season, our squad is key. Liverpool bought Diaz despite already having Mane at LW. City have great options off the bench.In which case Eriksen..... Blowing 70-odd million on SMS just to have him as an option doesn't stack up.

Devine and harvey white... dont they count ?One if not two HG players in addition to Forster, assuming we sell Winks) in order to get to highest HG numbers we can.
Currently under UEFA definitions we have :
Club trained - Kane, Winks, Tanganga, Austin and next season Skipp (total 5 incl. Winks, min 4 required)
Trained by other clubs affiliated to The FA - Sessegnon
So total 6 HG including Winks, with minimum 8 required to get a full 25 man squad.
So two more HG plus Forster would certainly help to get as big a squad as possible
