KenjiOgiwara Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 Is really Drinkwater such a bad player? We're currently fielding Lansbury and Hourihane. He must have collapsed physically not to be an improvement on that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KentVillan Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 A few ideas (yes a couple of these are almost as optimistic as wanting Poch, but humour me...) Emre Can isn't making the team at Juventus and supposedly fancies a return to the Premier League Arturo Vidal is 32 and can't get into Barcelona's team. Probably fancies a move back to Italy, but worth a punt? Jeff Hendrick and Ashley Westwood both in final year of contract at Burnley, and we know from the Heaton situation that we can easily beat them on wages Adam Lallana is definitely on the way out - Liverpool might be tempted to sell now. Not sure he's what we need, but a very good player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conviction for DD and can’t get anywhere near a start at Burnley - I’m not seeing any positives in this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think so on either count Depends on how badly he wants to make the Euro’s with France. If that’s his aim, I’d take him on loan - the only other clubs I’ve seen him linked with have been abroad (Turkey/France) if he’s not fussed and just looking for a pay day, then don’t bother - but if he’s got the fire in his belly because he wants to make the French squad, then I don’t see the risk in a load deal tbh. Decent in the air, can hold the ball up and he gets a few goals - he’d be a big upgrade On what we have at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thabucks Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 Drinkwater’s head has gone and he will end up down the path same of McCormack ... He is a busted flush living of a good 18months -2 years how many seasons ago... He may come good but for me it’s too much of a risk we need to find the next Drinkwater without the baggage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
