Players who might improve us

Be careful. For every Dias there's a Lindelof.

Ederson, Cancelo, Dias and Bernardo... I’ll take the risk (I know they all didn’t come direct)

Anybody else from Benfica, is that Grimaldo any good?

Darwin Núñez looks like a world class prospect

Offense worldclass defense definitely not.

So he’s not Ruben ‘the Great Wall of China Dias’?

Let's just add Benfica to CFG, force them to wear blue, and be done with it

Ferna wasn’t a defensive midfielder when we signed him. He was an outstanding box to box player with brilliant all round attributes - passing, shooting, tackling, mobility, aerial ability - and also the football intelligence, character and discipline to be moulded into playing the holding role.
So might Pep be looking at a similar profile of player to replace him rather than a current DM specialist?
If so, then one who stands out as having similar attributes to Ferna when we signed him would be Tielemans at Leicester. Likes a tackle, good energy and very good quality on the ball. He would be expensive but a miles better fit for us imo than a technically limited destroyer like Ndidi

I've always seen tielemans as the ferna successor. Think he ticks the box in most departments. Very intelligent player and gets on with kdb already.

He's slow as shit and that's why he needs Ndidi next to him. Ndidi can play a 1 man defensive midfield, Tielemans can not. Obviously has quality but would not be a Fernandinho replacement, he'd look similar to Rodri but offering more offensively.

that free transfer on 2 January MOJO slotted in well

Wouldn't be first choice striker but Odsonne Edouard is entering the last 18 months of his contract at Celtic. Pretty mental scoring rate for youth internationals and has a 1 in 2 for Celtic.

Could probably send some youth there to sweeten the deal as well. He does look good but blows hot and cold.
