    C'mon Zubi, sign the dotted line. The Kop needs to belt this one out for you: "Zubi, Zubi, Zubiiii"

    Me neither. Only concern is he's only had 6 months of top flight football.

    If Zubi decides to stay in Spain then I wouldn’t be against a bid for Wharton but I’d imagine the fee would be ridiculous

    Agreed with both points but still rather him than Rabiot, who is another alternative being touted

    I think Rabiot would be a good signing. He's a steady,solid player. International experience,lots of CL appearances.
    He ticks a lot of boxes that FSG usually go for. Maybe his salary is not one wed usually go near though?
    What puts you off him Miller?

    Again agreed.

    I just dont think he's particularly good at any one thing. He's not quick or mobile, he's not a goalscorer, his passing isn't great and his first touch isn't amazing.

    He'd not be an upgrade on Endo. And for the money he'd want for being a free transfer we'd be stuck for him on massive wages if he didn't work out.

    He'd definitely be an upgrade on Endo. You don't make the France team by being shit.

    My cat is an upgrade on Endo. Klopp got magic from some very very ordinary players but even he couldn't get a season out of Endo. Took teams all of 7 months to see the problem and exploit it.

    Slot might find a way to use him differently this season IF he remains but it's not going to be easy. Would be some amazing coaching if he does

    No thank you to Rabiot.

    Think he'd just ran out of legs. To be fair most of the squad had near the end of the season.

    I dont think Endo is the answer in midfield but i'd want someone far better than Rabiot on what you'd imagine would be a massive whack to take his place.

    I dont think Endo will be a starter anyway, even without additions.

    I think it will be Mac and Jones (that needs to be Buddy Cop TV Show!) as the two and Szobo as the 10.
