Only on a free and only if they take a pay cut
Would Son be attractive to Dortmund or BM?
The thing is I don't trust Levy/ENIC to make competent signings.
They never sign players that managers want. They mostly buy players that THEY think will be good.
Which has gotten us 0 trophies since....
He probably will go back to Bundesliga. I doubt he will go to Dort though. Maybe BM but can't say he will even start there.
With Kane, Son and Lloris most likely gone (or in Son's case, his form being gone), I wouldn't be against the idea of bringing Poch back, if Conte won't extend his contract with us, which is looking likely. Poch would finally get a fresh squad without the old guard who fucked him over, and he would finally have a rebuild on his hands. The only issues are the twats at the top, but hopefully a takeover would have taken place/be in progress until the summer.
It’s not just about bringing in new players but shedding the dross we’ve accumulated, and I feel this is where any “rebuild“ by Levy and company will be messy, piecemeal and haphazard.
Good times to look forward to

We did a cracking job of that for/with Poch.
It can be done; only problem is jokers like Ndombele are proving un-shiftable.
We have quite a few jokers though, besides Ndombele:
GLC
Sanchez
Sessegnon
Royal
Gil’s not quite in the same category, but I wonder about his future as well. You’re right in that it can be done, but I’ve little confidence in our current hierarchy to do this well.
Ndombele is a 'special' kind of joker........
The rest are on smaller waged and easier to find a home for.

Besides the wages, we’ll see how difficult Levy will be in trying to recoup his transfer fees. I hope it works out, I really do, but I’ve little faith in him now on both the outs and potential ins.
