The Midfield Conundrum

[teesred]

Absolutely, some of us have thought that for a few years now. I've never taken to him at all.
I think he's going.

The whole issue with Keita (in my opinion) is his wage demands and length of contract.. seen it all before. hes not been offered what he wants.. The owners are right on that he don't deserve what hes getting now.
He can sign for another club in just over 4 months. Should be very interesting to see if hes picked or when he is, how he plays..

Ok one question to you good folks.. if we were to sign some midfielder WHO? theres rumours of the Brighton player..I doubt Brighton will let 2 midfielders go this summer.. so who else is there?

If they do we'll get rinsed. Dont see that one happening purely out of price.

Assuming we are going for non-Bellingham options -

Dominik Szoboszlai (21) or Konrad Laimer (25) are options I'd happily have here - both are RB Leipzig lads which may put folks off.

I’d take Ramsey at Villa or ward prowse at the saints for now. Or both. One is dynamic with a bit of running power. Other is experienced and an elite dead ball specialist. Both would give us options imo.

I'll add Neves (Wolves) even though I know many will see his lack of pace as an issue and Barella as well.

There's 4 for now - three of whom I think are 25 (so can freshen things up, still contribute now but don't immediately need replaced in 2-3 seasons) with Dominik Szoboszlai being 21 - if we truly believe that this is a season of transition (whole other discussion) then we may as well use it to bed lads in for our future.

I agree with Jurgen, we only bring in players who improve us. The lad from Brighton does look like a level above with room for development under the right tutelage.
Slap £50m on the table or £40m plus Ox and get on with it.
