Replacing Casemiro

No from a quick search it was Cameron Archer that scored against Pool. Mateus Fernandes reminds me of Herrera a bit. He is a young number 8 that constantly wants the ball and is always looking to buzz around and get involved, from what I can tell.
Fernandes scored against Pool in the league, while Archer scored against them in the cup match.
 
If we ever start winning games again 3-0 in the 80th minute Casemiro would be a good option to bring on for Mainoo, who isn't much of a defender and whose stamina dissipates after 75 minutes or so. But if we can sell him even for 10m or even a free, let's move him on.
 
Looks like he's on the bench tonight in a semifinal as well.... Is that because he doesn't get picked, or is he returning from injury or something?
Who knows with them? They’re probably trying to avoid paying him an appearance bonus
 
Frenkie De Jong is out of contract in the summer…

Interesting. Am guessing we wouldn’t want to splash huge wages while attempting to reduce the wage bill overall, but who knows. Playing on the front foot with him, Ugarte, Bruno, Mainoo, Amad and a solid LWB would be fun to watch, although may be too small against some teams
 
I think Caquerat would be a good speculative buy.
Lyon have become a selling club and other Premier League clubs are circling.
I could see him having a Cabaye style impact and within a year people saying ‘why didnt we sign him for 15m before Palace got him’.
 
What happen to all the noise about Ederson from Atlanta? Has that just gone quiet?

I would have thought for this summer, we would want alternatives to Mainoo and Ugarte as amorim's system does ask the two centre midfielders to cover alot of ground.
 
Whatever happened to Toby Collyer?

It is either him, or an odd loan if we Casemiro leaves this January.

On the summer we will have a huge task of replacing both Casemiro and Eriksen, as we already knew before.
A huge task?

We could ship in two heads from Easter Island and have more mobility

We're 14th, I wonder how we'll get players good enough to replace this lot. Maybe shop in the championship?
 
It may not be a fancy signing but if Luiz is available and we could get him then why not.

Id rather Ederson but I cant see him moving now. At least Luiz gives us legs.

You cant sign people if they arnt available and who is in january?

Some actual gems in that league. Bellinghams brother being one of them. We need to shop smarter. Players who’ll have value further down the line so we can actually make profit on players rather than losses.

Yes, and in the 3 relegated teams, there will be some other players that can be useful. Each of the 4 sides most likely to get relegated, have at least 1 player who can improve us.
 
Need someone with a top engine. Like Kante. We need midfielders like him more than Casemiro now. Someone who can run for days and cause a nightmare to opposition midfield
 
I do like the look of Baleba, but would take silly money.
 
Feel sorry for Casemiro now, can’t even get subbed on when we need a runner in midfield. I do wonder if he’s just going to sit out his contract as he’s hardly going to feature anymore.

That’s why I’d love to get Douglas Luiz in on loan until the summer as he’s got an unbelievable engine and is proper box to box whilst having been a high quality PL established player, I think McTominay would have done well in this system too.

I think Ugarte, Mainoo, Luiz and Collyer is enough to get us to the summer and if Luiz impresses then we could look at bringing him in permanently and then there’s also Hjulmand at Sporting as well as Kone who’s trained with the first team but I agree we need players who run like mad dogs.
