Players who might improve us

Coutinho wouldn’t be a bad shout, he could easily replace Sane and Silva, also Barca are willing to sell, surprised we are not in for him.

Another Loan deal where we pay a reasonable part of his wages but not all might be a good idea instead of splashing however many millions more on a winger. Even just as another option for Pep to have, that's why I think a loan might be quite good. Could also give him a way back into a permanent deal either with us or someone else if he proves he can do it here still.
 
I feel like we could do a lot worse than picking up Willian on a free for a couple of years.

Probably doesn't score as many goals as he should but he is a tireless worker and comfortable on both flanks.
I can see where you are coming from but it's gotta be a hard no from me.
Yes he is technically gifted and a hard worker but he's slow and his pace is only declining, he's now into his 30s so could only be looked at as a short-term option even though he wants a long contract.
Also, almost all of his goals come from penalties and free-kicks, which he wouldn't even take most of the time at City.
 
Depending on where we're spending the bulk of our transfer budget (centre back looks most likely), I wouldn't be heartbroken to see us sign Van Aanholt from Palace. He wouldnt cost silly money and would be a much better option than Zinchenko and to rotate with Mendy. Always looks lively and even chips in with a few goals, which isn't bad for a fullback.

The very last thing I care about when looking at a fullback is his goal tally.
 
Marash Kumbulla seems like a genuinely great prospect. He's been compared to Chiellini a lot and has plenty of good performances for Verona this year. Only 20 so he's probably one for the future. Someone to follow. He's been linked with Inter, Lazio, Napoli and even Liverpool and Tottenham recently.

Not seen anything of him but if a player is attracting interest from teams such as this shouldn’t we be? Does he have the attributes that makes us buy now rather than quadruple the fee in 3 years time? Genuine question by the way

Knowing our extensive scouting network, we probably are scouting him. Rumor is it that he wants to stay in Italy and that he eventually wants to switch his international allegiance to Italy. My bet is he ends up at Inter as a Skriniar replacement.
 
Another Gabriel from Palmeiras, Gabriel Veron. 17, right footed, rapid and a good dribbler. Can play across the front-line. Looks very mature and aware for his age. Not seen him linked with top clubs in Europe yet, only Arsenal.

Looks like Gabby at 17
 
Just reading an article about Ryan Sessegnon. Looks to have no future under Mourinho, was showing a lot of talent and ability at Fulham but lost his way under that dinosaur. Has a lot of the raw attributes we would be looking for in a LW/LWB.

not sure he would improve us though, really didn’t hit the ground running under pochettino or mourinho!

seems like it would be like the type of buy everton or wolves might make, as for us I don’t think we could risk a space in the squad for him
