I just think tempting Tammy away from Chelsea to stay with us permanently might be quite tough. We will no doubt have some Jack Grealish transfer speculation to contend with as well - although I’d like to think he will stay with us.
Then we have Mings who might be attracting other teams interest after his performances. Bournemouth might change their minds on any transfer and keep him.
OGS being a fan of Tuanzebe means we might miss out on him as well.
When you look at it that way, that’s at least 2 there I’d say that would be missing from the spine.... which in my mind is Kalanic/Steer, Mings, Grealish, McGinn, Tammy.
Who knows though, eh, going up might open up no end of possibilities.
