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.Apparently he regrets not leaving in the Summer. Might be a good time to pounce.
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!we won't panic buy and we won'y buy a stop gap.
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.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 only for the reaction from down the M62Apparently he regrets not leaving in the Summer. Might be a good time to pounce.
Gundogan will play thereI hope we will find a proper back up for Rodri in January. Don't see Kovacic can play that position for a whole season.
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.Without Rodri we lack a real, physical presence in the midfield. Trying to find someone to cover him isn't easy. Wharton certainly isn't that player or even Guimaraes at Newcastle.
We should have gotten him after we won the Champions League. We get Barella, we are tight and sorted and win every midfield battle.Barella for me, outstanding player.
