Saha would be a great signing but potentially we have Moura for that role
Sessegnon is the one I want
I think he would fit, Poch has been after a ball playing midfielder for a while hence the Gomes links and some other very loose links with others in the summer. Maybe Winks can be that player but he's looked poor since coming back from injury, maybe he's not fit but seems to have lost his confidence.

Moura? I need to see more (looking forward to it)
Sessegnon - I like yes but they want £50m.
.....sorry I can't cope with that for an 18 yo.....I'm too old

He's OK for a number 2.

Couldn't believe how poor Hart was yesterday!
Good English goalkeepers are thin on the ground!

Could become the first £B player

Been saying it for years, Hart is a donkey. If he wasn't English he'd be a laughing stock.
England haven't had a top reliable keeper in decades.

I'm pretty confident Lopez will be coming back in the summer as #2 GK.
He'll be a free agent, and Poch and Jimenez are massive fans (Poch says so in his book). I think he's being groomed as Lloris' successor.

Winks *can* be that player. Come on, mate - he's young, he's coming off an injury setback. It happens.
I don't want a playmaker this summer - at least, not one that plays in central midfield. Give Winks time, and he'll go back to being the effortlessly elegant creator who bossed Real Madrid.

Winks can be that player, but he's young and some inconsistency is to be expected.
For me his absence, both through injuries and lack of form, has been felt. We lack creativity and passing tempo in central midfield when he's not there. We also know all too well the problems Dembele have had with injuries. Another creative midfielder would be a great addition. I've hoped that Onomah could be that player, but he hasn't exactly been ripping apart the Championship this season.
Modric for a couple of years seems like a great option to me, if his head is in the right place. We will still be able to give Winks playing time, and there can be no better player to learn from. The worry is that he might be past it, hasn't been anywhere near his best at Real this season by what I've heard. Will depend on his motivation.

Come back Luka! All is forgiven, chicken badge has opened its wings.

Dont forget Sanchez, similar in potential/lower league buy - £40 - for a defender no less.
In context, £50m for a free scoring (slightly younger) player of potential seems to be within reason.
Though I agree, it is a huge amount of money.
I think they are quite different, Sanchez had won the Copa Libertadores, been capped by Columbia, got to the Europe League final and played in it as well as being voted Ajax's player of the year. Sessegon looks a huge talent but his accomplishments don't match what Sanchez had although Sessegon is younger of course.

I think Sessegnon has a higher ceiling due to being an attacking player.

Sessegnon has played through all the age groups, and is talked about for the world cup.
He is playing in a more competitive league (IMO), at a younger age, and is one of the best players there.
He is acclimated as well.
And he is an attacking player, always a premium.

I don't think that's a surprise, can't really even be considered back up now others come off the bench ahead of him and sometimes doesn't even make the bench. Backup striker is a position we really need to sort out for next season. I like Son but if Kane was out for a few months I'd want someone more than Son to play there.
Does it need to be a CF though? We look a much better side with the false 9 setup without Kane than we do whenever we have played a CF in his place these past few seasons
Id prefer a CF, I think the rest of the team needs to be Barca/Spain 2010 style levels for a false no 9 to work properly. We don't have the guile for that even though we have a very strong midfield and we're also not set up to play like that either.
