My big concern this summer is we are balls deep for Kane & Grealish both English players at English clubs. If we are to get both there is no way it’s a quick & simple transfer. It will be last minute stuff which could derail the start of the season.

Spurs & villa will delay as much as possible which could mean we lose points at the start (potentially) & we may get neither really screwing us. Also they will both be shattered after euros needing long breaks to add to our other English players.

I’m hoping we have plan B as we really need a striker & midfielder to start next season. Utd, Liverpool & Chelsea will be after us from the first game.

I can already see 5/6 key city players having extended breaks missing the start of the season.

Wont a lot of the best players from a few clubs and a few countries also be having a longer euros? Hardly a reason not to go for English players

laporte will stay one more season imo to see how things go. To be honest, although stones has been great i would love to see a dias and laporte partnership get a regular run as on paper its the perfect partnership?

Laporte has got the same Barca agents as Garcia, (Puyol and others), I have been predicting for years they would try and get him to Barca after being trained by Pep. I hope we don't let him go, but Pep won't keep unhappy players.

But Barca don’t have a pot to piss in. They only get Laporte if we do a player swap but other than Messi (who we wouldn’t get) and FDJ who would we want?

The worry is that as great a season as he has had, we’ve been here before with John, many times. Just when the penny seems to have finally dropped and his head looks sorted, the unforced brain farts and mental meltdowns start to appear again. There is no way we should even consider selling Laporte, we will need him next season for sure.

More pertinent is if Stones makes a high profile mistake that knocks England out of the Euros. Then where will his head be.

None of us want this to happen, but we all know there is a chance.

Obvious bullshit, but I'd be all over a Laporte and Frenkie De Jong swap if the former is pushing for a move.

FDJ would be incredible in our system and would cover both the 6 and 8 - even emergency CB if required.

I imagine he's a player Barca would rather not lose though and I'm not sure whether Frenkie himself would be up for it.

FDJ’s wages would be an issue. He’s on crazy money at Barca.
