Oh, I wasn't disagreeing with you BG. It was the last sentence was a bit contradictory. I was poking fun. Your point is valid and I agree.

This time two years ago, both Gros and Propper were not proven PL quality (and neither were Dunk, March, Izquierdo and quite a few others); 12 months ago neither were Bissouma (or Bernardo for that matter).
As for the names you mention, would that be the Beram Kayal with 37 PL appearances under his belt? As well as Sanders and Alzate, we also have Baluta and Richards waiting to step up on to the launch pad - and I'd bet a tidy sum that Richards didn't leave Man. City to come to us on a promise of U23 football and a loan out to somewhere like Rotherham...................

Could be a bit of classic Naylor, tantalising us with the idea a big player is on the way but really meaning he is hard at work on an in depth article about our squad and its chances in the premier league with new manager Potter.
Who'd a thunk it.
Yet Jem wants to have a go at me for doubting Naylor

Going to be interesting to see how clickbait-y Andy Naylor's tweets are, as there's a need to attract subscribers and all writers have been offered equity in the company.

With typical Naylor 'Analysis' which isn't analysis but a description of things with no discussion of background, implications and areas of improvement. Ended with a sentence stating the obvious. aNAYLORsis.

That only shows passing %'s. There's a helluva lot more to being a CM than just passing. Also comparing him to Stephens is a little pointless IMO, Stephens is a deep sitting CM more likely breaking up play, tackling and interceptions etc. It's like chalk and cheese.
I'd be very happy for Mooy to come, though I imagine he'll be a squad player. Maybe someone to push Propper, but can't see him ever stepping into Stephens shoes.
Not sure where he'll fit once Bissouma is back but that's Potter's problem, not mine. There's always that outside chance he just fits in perfectly and becomes indispensable. Good cheap signing if it happens.

I think you need help... Naylor did a pretty good job reporting on Albion over the years, and I've no doubt that will continue in his new role...

You are not the only one to think Richards will be competing for a midfield berth this season.
With the strength of our squad the forthcoming League cup match (whoever it is) should prove interesting.

I thought they seemed less confrontational since he has joined the Athletic. He always seemed a bit pissed off with it all.

I've said before that i dont see Mooy as better than what we have, i still dont, but he does offer very good competition, so on a seasons loan it's a good signing imho.
We also seem to be fixating on us playing 3-4-3, so where does he fit in? Well what if we play 3-4-1-2? He gives us options alongside Gross and Trossard to play the 1 in that formation, especially with (going by the previous two seasons) Gross being regularly replaced in the second half.

If we are looking for experience to step in then Mooy will do the job if as expected GP is wanting youth to step up then he will look at Richards, Alazate and Sanders but Bissouma the natural cover, is injured and Kayal despite 37 appearances has shown that he isnt good enough for The Premier. So a season loan for Mooy makes sense in all departments.

Yep. Competition for places is exactly what we need
