Frankie De Jong, that is all

Surprises me you'd say such. Not like it would make your name fashionable again or anything. ;)

Rabiot is the only realistic purchase purely because PSG could get some money for him then. Other than that it will be waiting until the summer.

Zero chance of signing anyone world class in Jan. Can't see PSG selling Rabiot to us either..

I could see it, he's out of contract in the summer, if we make a good offer, £20m+ then we might have him then

If Lyon wanted £70m in the summer they will want £100m in January!!

Get Frankie De Jong - if we are going to break the bank.

I think we will try Stones in a defensive midfield role and plug the gap left at centre half with Jonny fucking Evans.

Is Declan Rice worth considering? I've not seen enough to know tbh. My impression is that he's be a good DM in terms of blocks, tackles, interceptions but would he be able to pass well enough for us?

We need a DM and a LB, and we won't buy either in January

a LB?

a LB?

Yeah, I think we do need a leftback. Mendy is great, but needs to prove he can stay healthy, and Delph has proven he can't stay healthy. The manager doesn't trust the third choice in big games (which is how Laporte ended up there midweek), and sold him in the summer only for him to turn down the move. I wouldn't spend £50m on one, but we need a reliable backup.

And who would you sell?
