We won't buy anyone in January that we weren't already planning to buy next summer,and that's only if that player is available in January. I doubt Zubimendi was on our radar last summer or next so won't be in January.
We should loan a stop gap. Yeah I know, we don't do those. We need a runner, a defensive runner in the middle field. Kante will do for me, I do not care about what ever some thinks he lacks, but he will do us a lot of good!
If there is a player out there that can slot in and understand what Pep wants and how to play that position then yes, doubt there is though and Kante isn't one.
If only for the reaction from down the M62
Gundogan will play there
That Larsson kid is 6 '2. never seen him linked though, but lads in his thread rave about him. hard pressed to find physical DMs with the technical/mobile skills we need. Nearly all are 'projects' Wharton, Guerra etc.
We should have gotten him after we won the Champions League. We get Barella, we are tight and sorted and win every midfield battle.
Never seen this guy have a bad game, a proper little warrior and a superb footballer.
we tried to get him last year, but he didn't fancy, italian players usually don't leave their league. class player tho
Isn't he badly injured at the moment?
Just re-checked and its not serious, only be out for a few weeks at most
If he was willing to leave Italy I imagine he would have already been snapped up by us or somebody else in England.
Newcastle were in for him and got tonali instead.
+ he signed fresh deal till 2029
