This deal reminds me of Donny last year. Barely a rumour and then all of a sudden he was signed.
I wasn’t happy when I saw the rumours this morning but provided we do sign a proper DLP alongside as that’s clearly not his best role, then I’m not totally against it.
Looking at the stats I wish we would just go out and get Bennacer from Milan (I believe he has a release clause?). He seems tenacious, tidy and creative. Would be a good combo with Rabiot’s height and physicality, and both at an age to hit the ground running.
Then there’s just the issue of trimming the team, with which I think we should let Garner go back to Forest and try his hand in the prem.
