Players who might improve us

[better dead than red]

What about Grimaldo ? Bamba Zaha or Asensio

I'll take Bamba Zaha solely because he already has a ready made song for him.

Para bailar la Bamba se necesita
Una poquita de gracia

I’ve always liked the look of this lad. Not sure what he offers going forwards but I would agree he is very solid defensively.

He is a fantastic defender for his age and position.
The price tag would only be worth it if Pep + staff thought they could improve his offensive ability.

Palace got 45M + 5M in add-ons for Wan-Bissaka in 19
I have to assume they will ask for the same if not more for Mitchell in todays transfer climate.

He is likely not worth that, and a "foreign" option will probably be better for money.

Are the arse trying to beat the new rules for contract lengths as they are now chasing Caceido from Brighton this month? Having already spent a huge sum in the summer and signing I think 3 this window as well they are rumored to want 2-3 more? Any reason why they are doing all their shopping now?

about as attack minded as Ake.

about as attack minded as Ake.

Have to assume part of his attacking numbers being lower is because of playing for Palace.
Especially under Hodgson for his first two professional seasons.
I do agree that he isn't the attacking wingback type like Mendy / Cancelo / Danilo / Walker who Pep has looked to buy in the past.

Probably a non starter.

Mebude just a new Matondo in the end?

Who

 

[WRicko]

Grimaldo is slower than Kolarov at his worst

Must have other stuff going for him guys CDM he highly rated he is

 

[Keeper!]

Completely agree but if whatever the issue is gets fixed and he’s back to his best and stays he keeps out a lot of players, especially the one my reply was about.

I don't think he was that mentality, hence the number of clubs he's played for, on his day a top player but he was always had a weird character for me, not a player I could take to.

Always liked the look of Sosa the Croat who playd for Stuttgart.
I would imagine would be in the right price bracket too.

Because they are top of the league and want to stay there I'd imagine!
