Valverde is more of an 8, sometimes InvRF, definitely not a DM

Gibbs-White doesn't play as a RW

Valverde has played the DM role in the past. And he's that clever, he can play anywhere...ask the great Carlo what he thinks of the lad.

Have a look at Gibbs-White season heatmap...spends a fair bit of his time on the right. Not a typical RW per se, but like Valverde, he's versatile. Got the pace, vision and technique to play anywhere across that front line.

Only suggestions anyway my man. And I'd be stunned if any of the 8 or 9 players I listed were signed 😅😂

Nice defender Todibo: Barcelona attitude all wrong

Read this news on OneFootball.
onefootball.com onefootball.com

"I lacked humility, seriousness and professionalism," Todibo has told L'Equipe.
"I don't know who I thought I was.
"I'm now doing the best that I can, not so people can say that I've changed but because it makes me feel good.
"I can't pay attention to other people's opinions in football, otherwise you quickly end up in a bad place.
"The only person whose opinion matters is me."

He's right-footed. This ship has probably sailed. But he does have the pace to play the VDV role so maaaaaaybe.

Got a horrible feeling we might spread ourselves too thin with a load of £20m to £30m players. Much rather concentrate on going all out to improve the first team with 2 or 3 real top class players and make up the difference elsewhere, even if that means a bit of squad padding with cheap or free deals like Walker-Peters and Lloyd Kelly.

Maybe those you listed are the cheap squad players but the names flying around at the moment are very underwhelming. Not really seeing anyone mentioned that would improve our 11.

Walker P, yes
Kelly a firm no...he offers nothing that we need...mid table player at best
 
Lo Celso will move on this summer - last chance to sell him for a fee - and Hojbjerg will also move on.

We really need to improve the HG options at the club - this season Sessegnon occupies one of those spots - but we've actually got a few choices of good quality CM's who are HG who might be available, so we could tick off another objective by buying one of these as Lo Celso replacement:

- Eze (Palace) could cover both CM providing cover to Maddison plus cover LW
- White- Gibbs (Notts Forest ). Available if Notts Forest relegated and of course they have ffp issues and might need to sell. Could cover CM and LW
- Dewsbury-Hall (Leicester) Available if not promoted and of course ffp issues. Versatile, think he might be best as a left sided CM.

I'm not on the Gallagher hype train, and think the 3 above are probably better

Price might be as low as £25m if ffp prices but more realistically up to £45m ish.
 
If we don't get a competent winger next season it will be more of the same. Can't have kulu at rw again next season

Likewise if a good striker becomes available again its something to look at. As for midfield eze or gibbs white are solid picks and homegrown
