Le Fee could be anywhere from 20-40 million euros in my opinionHas any body mentioned enzo le fee yet?
Actually no idea what he would cost but thought it would make a decent joke

I actually thought le fee would likely be fecking bonkers. More so because this is the first I've heard of him.Le Fee could be anywhere from 20-40 million euros in my opinion

Yeah Le Fee is quite good, just think a lot like Bruno in being a bit inconsistent with his passing but brilliant with his through balls. Can be looked at as a decent backupI would actually welcome signings like Le Fee, almost like was the case with Malacia - a relatively unknown player who will not be under much of pressure straight away and his fee would not be so big given he has only two years left on his current deal and Lorient is a team with one of the smallest budgets in France. The player that would happily accept to be a rotation option to Eriksen and Bruno.
I think he is a wonderful player, can create chances both from open play and set pieces and he has very good acceleration for a midfield player - that can be very useful in teams who are looking to transition quickly once the space is available.
He is quite a consistent performer for his age, but it would be good to keep eye on him before making judgments about whether is he ready for a move to the top clubs or not but certainly a great mention by other posters.
True. I always consider environments such as tactics and teammates when judging players passing ability.Yeah Le Fee is quite good, just think a lot like Bruno in being a bit inconsistent with his passing but brilliant with his through balls. Can be looked at as a decent backup
Um... Le Fee has started most matches in as a DM duo this season and averages 3.5 tackles a game. Casemiro's 4.6 tackles per 90 mins for us is the only player who averages more. Next is Malacia at 2.8 and then McTom at 2.2Yeah Le Fee is quite good, just think a lot like Bruno in being a bit inconsistent with his passing but brilliant with his through balls.

I agree he starts as a midfield 2 but he tends to drift more forward than stay as a deeper midfielder doing the metronomic stuff. He is more of a 8/10 kind of player and yes his off the ball work is very very good.Um... Le Fee has started most matches in as a DM duo this season and averages 3.5 tackles a game.

His competition would be Eriksen, who does a lot less defensively too. He can obviously do plenty on the ball but 85% pass accuracy when you have 2.8 key passes a game is by no means unreliable for a deep midfielder.
He would compete with Eriksen and Fred for the non-Casemiro deep midfield role. And with his current form I think he would start
yeah he definitely looks like an exciting talentThis kid is going to be special, They call him the Syrian Messi
Linked to Brighton as well, worked with De Zerbi before.What do you guys think about Shaktar Donetsk left footed CB Mykola Matviyenko? He really caught my attention when watching Shaktar vs Real the other week. Definitely a bit of a Martinez copy.
Given the transfer needs we have, getting a back-up for Martinez isn't the most sexy priority. But honestly, with our current squad, in any game we play without Martinez we would be a completely different team.
If Mykola Matviyenko -- who was linked to Ajax when ETH was there supposedly, which I found out after some googling -- could be had for 10-15m, I think he should be a must get.
Haven't seen him play but he was apparently so good I'm surprised some mid-table Prem team or Benfica/Porto/Sporting, Leipzig or Monaco or some other team that buys young players hasn't convinced him to join, he has a 6M release clause apparently.Oscar Gloukh - Saw him play in a youth tournament this summer and he looked incredible and i see hes tearing up the Israeli league this season
He fit in well in the Eredivisie among other things because he spent 9 years at La Masia and his way of playing fits well there.Xavi Simons from PSV, he's from PSG's academy and has settle really well in the Eredivisie. Definitely one to look out for.
Hardly under the radar?!Xavi Simons from PSV, he's from PSG's academy and has settle really well in the Eredivisie. Definitely one to look out for.
Well haha is hard to find one truly under the radar. I mean there's the obvious ones, then there's some medium/small league ones, but a truly under the radar you'll have to look in low tier leagues or 2nd-3rd tier divisions.Hardly under the radar?!
He is definitely the real deal, but going to be expensive. Fast too, really explosive. But given his price tag, I am not sure if he is someone worth focusing on. His play with the ball on his feet is certainly not bad, but also not his strength.Anel Ahmedhodzic of Sheff United, monster in the air and good footballer
Ahmedhodzic was just signed for 2m or so, he won't be too expensive. 20m or so at most I'd guess. He's a ball playing CB, tall (6'5"), fast, but not too strong yet (still young). But his play with the ball at his feet is his strength for sure. But most of his experience is on the right of a back 3 where he can burst forward and he has a weirdly good goal and assist record for a CB. My concern would be how he adapts to a back 4 and just being a normal center back. But i can see a lot of similarities with Varane in terms of his potential (not level, but more style and their lanky figure). Huge potential IMO, but unsure if he's more of a back 3 CB vs a back 4 CB.One guy who I actually quiet like is Krystian Bielik who has caught my attention when I’ve watched Mejbri with Birmingham.
Tall and strong kid 6’3, Polish international who comes from Arsenal’s academy. Very comfortable with the ball and a good passer. But also a classic CDM, clearly inclined to take care of the defense first.
Googled some on him, not surprised to see that AC Milan were interested at one point and that Derby eventually got him for a “record fee” of 10m. Derby are under administration right? Give them a 12m offer and he is probably ours.

He definitely has a chip on his shoulder too, everyone gets likened to Vidic, but he would deserve it for sure.Ahmedhodzic was just signed for 2m or so, he won't be too expensive. 20m or so at most I'd guess.

Yeah he's looked good against some top teams in this World Cup. How do you think he will fare against that Portuguese midfield on Saturday.From the World Cup, I'd say Amrabat is the one who stands out as a logical buy to me. 2 years left to go as of this summer. We could sell VDB, Fred and McTominay this summer, buy a #8 and have a proper midfield where a single injury doesn't decimate us:
#10 - Bruno, Eriksen
#8 - New CM, Eriksen,
#6 - Casemiro, Amrabat
35 stars for Casemiro, 20 for Amrabat and lots of 15-20 minute sub appearances to save Casemiro's legs and a few starts for whichever of Mainoo or Iqbal is the 6th man, with the other getting a good season on loan somewhere and maybe a few chances for Sancho as a #10. Ideally there'd be a 3rd option at DM, but I'd rather have the McTominay money and just grab a very cheap DM from a smaller league that Ten Hag rates if there's no youngster who can fill in, though Lisandro is probably up to it and the RB we sign to backup Dalot might be too, if it's Timber for instance.
No idea. He apparently had a bunch of "injections" to play against Spain so he might get done by Bernardo, Bruno, Otavio and Felix' movements and I wouldn't really blame him.Yeah he's looked good against some top teams in this World Cup.

Amrabat was nothing special at Watford in the PL, but he obviously could have improved since leaving them.From the World Cup, I'd say Amrabat is the one who stands out as a logical buy to me. 2 years left to go as of this summer.

Different one. You’re referring to his older brother Nordin. This is Sofyan - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sofyan_AmrabatAmrabat was nothing special at Watford in the PL, but he obviously could have improved since leaving them.
I wonder if Nordin played the wrong position. I remember him as feisty but untalented for winger, maybe should have been a CM like his brother or a fullback.Different one. You’re referring to his older brother Nordin. This is Sofyan - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sofyan_Amrabat
