Everyone is playing sub-par, but we are not able to get Douglas Luiz on the ball due to their efficient shadow pressing on the back four. I think a rejig might be needed, McGinn playing alongside Dougie, Tieleman playing as the second striker with Bailey wide right when he comes on.

This is utterly sensational. Touche.

Hermoso on a free would be a very shrewd signing. Similiar profile to Torres. Can also play LB if we want to play a defensive minded LB (much like if we put Pau out there), so offers something different to Alex Moreno. Hermoso at LB when Frimpong (or equally more attack minded player) is playing RB? Think this signals Digne will definitely be off in the Summer, which I think from a squad building point of view is the right thing to do due to his huge hit in wages. Hermoso and Moreno combined will likely be on same salary as Digne by himself. Also Digne only has 2 years left on contract this summer - last chance to sell him for a reasonable fee, generally with 1 year left the fee is usually discounted (better than losing for nothing).

I like these moves, particularly for younger players who are having to move country. By signing him now, and even loaning him back, we know he will be with the squad Day 1 of pre-season so he will be able to spend time in the summer before pre-season finding somewhere to live - getting all of that sorted in the gap between season end and pre-season started just gives greater opportunity for success as he integrates in to the team.

Romano isn't the source of this update - it's come from Rahman Osman and Romano is just riding the trending wave (as he does). And "talks" do not mean anything anyway.

Martinez Cash - Konsa - Carlos - Pau McGinn - Kamara - Luiz - Coutinho Diaby - Watkins With Pau naturally staying back more, I think we could get away with Coutinho playing in front. That's the position in the 11 I'm most unsure of.

Noticed in the latest training video he was training with the First Team alongside Archer and JPB from the youth setup. Might be filling in alongside Chambers as the 4th/5th choice CBs for the time being, although a loan may be best for his development. Will be interesting to see what happens but he's quite clearly well thought of within the club.

Why have you quoted it?!

Matteo Moretto is usually highly reliable. Think this would more likely signal that Digne is on the way out, as has been speculated all summer?
-
Cash and Digne AND Bailey? Whew this is going to be an open game.

Monchi in his Sky interview with Rob Dorsett - "While the window is open, we continue with working to build the best squad possible. That's why I think more players will arrive."

Available to watch here. Timestamp start is 44:30 on this video (Rob Dorseet intro). Monchi interview itself starts at (45:30)

Trying to look at any kind of silver lining to the Buendia news, at least it occured whilst the transfer window was still open.
