Iheanacho is a good shout for a Firmino replacement
For an Origi replacement, I like him, seen a few of their games of late, like his link play and he scores goals, some very good goal out of nothing too and boy could we do with a No9 who picks the ball up in and around a packed area with seemingly nothing on and conjured a goal out of nothing, not as quick as our inside forwards, but a bit quicker than Bobby, he'd cost too much though
"If Everton were playing at the bottom of my garden, i'd close the curtains”
He hasn’t looked anything special to me. Bit lacking in touch and technique
I wouldn't have Fabinho leaving, personally.
Wijnaldum out, Bissouma in.
In a perfect World the other ones I would be looking at coming in are Neuhaus to link the midfield and attack (would replace any two of Keita/Ox/Shaw) and Alexander Isak as a forward/wide option.
Konate, Bissouma, Neuhaus and Isak would inject a lot of energy into the side and bring the average age down a fair bit. We'll very unlikely to go for all of them of course (particularly at once) but I think all of them are at that sort of stage of their careers where they are potentially about to become seriously excellent players, but haven't yet shown enough for long enough to command the mega-mega money.
Think of Salah and Mane - Mane may be showing poor form recently and Covid has totally changed the market, but there was a time not very long ago where a buyer could have been expected to pay anywhere from £80m-£150m each to acquire them from us, whereas we got them for much less and put them in a side/system where they could reach that next level on our watch.
Reports that we are talking to Depay.
Iheanacho would cost a fortune now and whilst in very good form could revert to previous form. Would be a gamble that I'd think. He does look good though, just needs to do it over a longer period.
