Omar Marmoush

[cordonbleu]

Desperate need for players right now, particularly defensive ones, so the first thing we do is look to secure a 7th left wing option for the summer. That couldn't describe our last few windows more perfectly.

Wouldnt be unhappy with him coming in but looks like a budget Musiala to me. I'd want to see us go all in for the real deal instead and if thats not an option then bring back Leroy on a free and stick the £60-80m into getting the absolute best in the business in other areas.

Strictly speaking we have only two "proper" wingers + Grealish. The rest are versatile enough to play wide. So I wouldn't be surprised if we were planning to get another winger. But, I suspect he would be used as a striker or SS, not as another "adequate" winger.

Having said that I'm uncertain about this particular rumour. We should have known that he was not interested in leaving Frankfurt in winter. Besides, allegedly he's been keen on playing for the scousers. So why this rumour be out in the media now? (Txiki wouldn't be involved in summer signings, anyway.)

we lack goals, he scores goals he can play behind haaland, alongside haalalnd or on the wings

Sums it up really.

It's something that's been said since the departures of the likes of Sterling and Mahrez who constantly chipped in with goals.

I know Foden had a great goalscoring season last season, The team in general lack goals, Haaland is our top scorer this season and after him it's our left back Gvardiol...

Hopefully it's a deal we can get done this month.

Fjortoft is quite obviously pedalling whatever Eintracht are telling him to. He’s gone from ‘not for sale’ to ‘for sale at the right price’ inside 48 hours.

Promising, really. But I presume we’ll do what we did with Mahrez in 2018 and bide our time until Summer for a cheaper fee.

The right decision given the current circumstances? Not sure. But I’d (personally) rather wrap up a pacy centre back and an energetic centre midfielder before an attacker.

Have we not learned our lesson with relying on one player to play near enough every game in a crucial position? Haaland cannot be rinsed out like Rodri was.

I believe Bobb was considered the in house replacement for Julian, but his injury, recovery time & the time it'll take him to become match fit & to rediscover his form effectively means he's out for the majority of this season.

We'd be making this calamitous season a whole lot worse, if god forbid anything was to happen to Erling, because he too was rinsed out. Rodri was our warning!

£50M?
If true, it's a bargain.
