Olise the lad at Reading reminds me of Eze. Such a good player. Might need a season in the prem to get up to speed but I think that might be who we are as a club now.

I agree, and I think we need to look to Skipp and Sessegnon to solve some of our problems, as squad players at least. Partly because of money having to be spent elsewhere, but then there's also the home grown thing.
The Sessegnon - Davies one will be interesting. I know lots on here don't like Davies, but you don't ever hear that much in the press or media. He's pretty unspectacular but as a back-up LB, he's better than the vast majority of PL teams have.
Agree though that those two changes will help for a variety of ways - bring the age of the squad down, bring in some HG players, bring in some cash (not huge amounts though)
i imagine Davies will retain a place as a utility player - cover for CB as well as LB.

And he is HG for the league
Maybe more rest will help his game

I really don't think we will be in Europe next season. If I'm correct that will have big implications on the squad and if that was the case maybe loaning players out will happen on a larger scale.

You do know they have expanded the European competitions
There is now a 3rd cup to play for
Agreed, certainly whilst we see whether Sess is ready for the PL at LB

I wonder should Davies get a run out at CB and see if it improves us a bit, with Rodon maybe. Can't be any worse than now.

We've had all kinds of issues at centre back this season and Davies has gotten only very rare chances there, mostly in the cups IIRC.
I'm not sure we can keep him, Sessegnon and Reguilon happy. Reguilon obviously the clear first choice when fit, assuming he's still here next season.
To me replacing Davies with Sessegnon seems like an obvious way of bringing money in while giving the chance to Sessegnon to develop. If Mourinho sees him as good enough at that time.

Hojbjerg, Skipp, Ndombele and Lo Celso as the options for the deeper midfield roles? Seems a bit of a gamble, we would certainly lack some of what Sissoko brings to the game if not replaced by another very athletic player.
Perhaps a gamble worth taking.
Replacing Davies, Sissoko and Winks with Sessegnon and Skipp would free up a bit of money to use elsewhere. I'm guessing Mourinho would want another midfielder though. Ndombele and Lo Celso being very good options further forward too would make 5 options for the deeper roles make sense.

Dont forget we have been after Sabitzer for some time and he plays midfield too

My thoughts as well, when everyone is fit i doubt he would play on a regular basis but he would be a good back up for those two positions.
