It's Quiet 18 - Wanna ring the bell?

We had a few CB's already at the club so that task for him to fully settle was more easier and we were on our way in being Centurions. On top of him turning us down in the first place and Atletic Bilbao being well off the pace in that season made more do-able in January. A new midfielder doesn't have that extra luxury of settling down. It is sink or swim this time. Zubimendi seems more content in staying in Spain for this season. If we are heavily interested then next season is a more realistic option.

At this stage we don’t know what Zubimendi is thinking but you can be damn sure that the club will have gauged his interest through his agent. There were a few stories in the last month that he is regretting turning down Liverpool which suggests he might be open to a move. Maybe Liverpool will go for him again, maybe we will make a move but no one really knows.

If he wants to join us in January and we are in fact interested then it will happen. He has a release clause so if we pay that the club has to let him go. He gets more time with Pep and establishes himself in Rodri’s absence.

Douglas Luis could be an option.

Not playing much at Juve and better than what we currently have and wouldn't cost the earth.

Zubimendi, Araujo and Wirtz...in January! Clearly nonsense but I needed cheering up.

Squad places especially the Champions League. Who would we leave out if we did bring one in? The player senior player wouldn't be too chuffed with that and would want to leave near enough straight away.

Mcatee, Wilson-Esbrand for starters

Both club trained would only really help if we signed a frimpong, brahim etc

Only in Europe and neither are likely to feature much in the CL again this season.

yeah doesn't free up a spot to buy more players though was the point unless they are also club trained. we have 2 as it stands. (3 with rodri being unregistered as we expect). we dont need to sell.

I wouldn’t be averse to leaving Walker and a few others out too if we had to!

could but you can only make 3 changes to the squad regardless of how many you buy/sell.

Wishful thinking in Jan though

Doubt anyone leaves other than the young guys on the fringes like McAtee or O'Reilly etc.

The overhaul will have to wait untill Summer unless the Saudi clubs wanna go hard again which doesn't sound like they do
