Denis Zakaria

If I could pick one player in the World to make the biggest positive impact immediately this would be the guy.

I would sign Zakaria and Werner. We have missed the boat on Werner unfortunately, though I understand we tried.

Messi and Haland are bigger names obviously but it's horses for courses. Zakaria would settle everything down allowing us to attack and defend with confidence.

Like everyone else I'm wondering about his injury though. What is it specifically? Is it a knee ligament?

Ndidi at Leicester would be the next best option but he would cost more and not quite as good.

How about a bid in January, say £40m they might jump at it

The injury is key obviously, but assuming that's fixed, irrespective if his defensive skill, he would actually have caused Sheff Utd more problems today going forward, than Mahrez did, even playing centre mid with Rodri.

Anybody would cause more problems than Mahrez in the form he is in!

True, but I mean we could actually put Torres right striker, Sterling left striker, KDB Bernardo free role & the team would have more danger going forward with Zakaria & yet be more solid still defensively.

Heard a rumour, though as ever take it with a pinch of salt, that this is true and actually City might try for January. Just a rumour though as I don't know what that'd mean for squad places etc. Or his injury.

Makes a lot of sense to give him 6mths alongside the master himself, Fernandinho. I saw reports that Barca may fancy Garcia again in Jan so perhaps that frees up a slot.

We have 1 free spot so this makes sense.

I’m all for it. Even if we don’t get Zakaria

I don't anything about him. Can anyone tell me about him, maybe comparing him to aouor who would be a perfect Gundogan replacement.
