Your ideal central-midfield signing for next summer ?

[Legal Alien]

Enzo Fernández heading to Chelsea is a real shitter. We have to be balls deep for Bellingham in the summer.

It really is, especially as we could've got him in the summer for approx £10m.
We dropped a bollock there and could live to regret that.

The other side of that is that the lad wanted to be an immediate starter and Benfica could offer him that. Porto and Benfica are of course masters at taking south american talent and giving them a platform to shine. The culture, weather and so on can also impact this.

Alvarez looks to have settled in great but we will never know if Enzo would have been the same, he could have been at Girona inside 6mths and never heard from again.

Yeah it's a gamble, but who knows he could've been starting for us too.

The fact that we could've got him for a fraction of the price being quoted now is annoying though, he could've saved us a fortune!

Chances we get Maddison AND Bellingham.

I think that's the plan, they are completely different players.

"we dropped a bollock"

even though we bid for him but he chose to move to Benfica........ for game time.........

 

[Tugay One Cup]

The Guardian are reporting Chelsea will listen to offers for Kovacic. If there's any truth in that we should be sniffing around.

Turns out it was the right decision… can’t blame the kid for rejecting us and we were there ready to buy him. Shows the scouts are watching the right players. Can’t always get the player you want all the time.

He'd be my pick if we don't get Bellingham, but I don't think we would need both.

I'd take him on the cheap. Excellent in tight spaces, tactically flexible, not afraid to put a challenge in. Would be very decent in the Bernardo role. Doesn't have quite the engine Bernardo does but then again few do

 

[Delphinho]

Not a big Bellingham fan, but it would have to be him, Matheus Nunes or Kovacic for me

I think if we don’t get Bellingham we aim bigger. We are after a star midfielder.

I’d bin Bellingham to save money and go for both Nunes and Kovacic. Spend the rest on a highly rated young prospect. Scouting should Bd able to offer some good leads.

 

[NQCitizen]

Ideal: Gavi.

He's really going to be something.

Gavi should be snatched out of Barcelona by us. That kid is already something.

I see the City Xtra aggregators are chucking Mason Mount's name into the ring....




Never understood the massive hype around that guy.

Absolutely agree jim - doesn't produce anything to deserve the hype imo

Bellingham or Ruben Neves
