Now here is a player I’d love…..
A top level (World Cup winning) vastly experienced defensive midfielder.
Just 6 months left on his contract at Betis so the fee would be negligible.

Lots of names mentioned here along with an approach to Barco’s people:

A Greek is mentioned. He looks smashing:
So no genuine senior full backs (Perv won’t start) or wingers available for the the starting line-up vs Spuds.
We’re going to need a bigger boat (budget).
The club might need to ‘break even’ on the transfer budget this season?
£95m would certainly fund the holes in our broken squad.
It’s the end of the season in Argentina now (they start again in May ‘24). A good time to move on.
It would be bizarre if he signed an extension. Both ourselves and Citeh could easily pay him and his agent more than Boca, why would he decrease his attractiveness to European clubs? However, Boca...
So De Zerbi has stated that he is short in 3/4 positions.
Surely these are:
Left Back
Right Back
Right Wing
Defensive Midfield
I can also see justifications for a striker and centre back.
Mazilu is coming in but I’d be very surprised if he satisfies De Zerbi’s thirst for top level talent. Not...
I agree with this but perhaps we could change our strategy for Solly March who might not be back until well into 2025 if he has a similar recovery period to Moder.
I’m sure there are some fantastic loan opportunities out there. An experienced fullback is essential in my opinion and whilst a...
The club needs to react to the injuries in key positions.
If RDZ hasn’t got the personnel to play his preferred 4-2-3-1 system (no full backs etc), staying in the top half and the two cups is going to be very tough.
I’m sure the club will back him next month. Back-ups for Solly, Estupinan and...
This is great.
But, I think we need experience at full back and at right wing. Look at Hall at Newcastle. Huge potential but Howe won’t play him now because he can’t reach the elite level required (yet), he might go back to Chelsea.
My concerns are at right wing (Mazilu) and left back (Barco)...
