Really hope Sessegnon isn’t on his way out

Am sure he isnt - he's still very young

I dont think Sess is on his way out, remember Mourinho highlighted him as someone he had wanted at ManU.

However, we know Mourinho likes mentally strong players and we can all see Sess has a lot of work to do in that area. I wouldnt expect him to be properly involved until next season, but I would be very surprised if he was sold.

As for Cirkin, sounds promising. That Mourinho eh, never will give youth a chance....

I’ve a sneaky feeling we will get Zaha this summer
No rumours or anything else but just have that thought

Cant see it myself. Also think we need a creative player in the front 4 - an Eriksen replacement. Zaha isnt that and will also be out of our price bracket. He's also no kid any more either - he turns 28 in November. Levy won't spend £70m on a 28 year old

Lets see him playing him first.... It is easy to put young players on the bench with the new sub rules.

I could see us going into next season with the following options at the back:

RB: New Guy + Foyth
CB, Dier, Sanchez, Toby, Tanganga
LB: Davies + Cirkin (and Sessegnon)

If we get a DM and RB of the right quality, and also bring in a back-up CF, then I think thats an acceptable and realistic window for this summer and consistent with Jose's comment about 2-3 additions.

Could roughly balance the books with Rose, KWP, CCV, Aurier, Moura or Lamela and perhaps Sissoko leaving (plus Verts and Vorm), so I think its plausible financially too

Well he's already done that with Tanganga. Point is he does give youth a chance if worthy, hence the stat about how he blooded more youngsters at Man U than Poch did at Spurs....

Out - NDombele, Dele, Lucas, Aurier, Verts, CVC, Rose, Foyth, KWP, Sess and Clarke (11 players raising say £150m)

In - DoF ( Ideally Louis Campo from Lille), CF, DM, CH and two full backs. ( 5 players in and one DoF)

Zero net spend plus saving on salaries. Sorted.

Although thats major surgery, im happy (bar Sess who we should stick with) with that sales list. The team, for the teams sake and for Jose to mould it how he wants, needs flipping.

 

[Bedfordspurs]

Would be a bit pointless, no? We have Moura, Bergwijn and Son already for that “type”. Money will be hard to come by, I’d be surprised if we spend it on an area we don’t need.

I think we will sell someone to buy him

They won’t get £70m and he will agitate for a move now
There ain’t any speculation it’s just an inkling I’ve got

We have Lo Celso for that role IMO
And we may well got for Eze from QPR who did very creative

I expect there'll be quite a bit of competition for Eze

I don’t

If we want him I think they would happily work with us as we have a relationship with them

I do hope not, overated ( and overpriced) player for me.

Spot on, its just another brick to slag Jose off by those who do not like him.

The relegation clubs. Who stands out from their players to poach?

Both full backs at Norwich and Buendia and Cantwell potentially
At Villa it’s McGinn, Mings and Grealish
And at Bournemouth IMO it’s Brooks

I like Buendía. Very creative. Would be a good addition for not much money - bit like Mata for United.

Agreed - but major surgery is required. On reflection I would probably keep Sess for at least another year to see if he progresses.
