All the waxing aside, it's just nice to know that you can add something to your squad without forking out the now industry standard 15 million fee. Keeps expectations in check and leads to occasional nice surprises.

Wouldn't pay more than 10 or get Dragovic instead. Evans probably only got 2-3 decent seasons left in him. 20 is way too much

Michael Keane who???

Pointless. No younger than Wes/Huth. Next??

Absolutely. He stood up well last 8 games when other CB crocked. He's just mega rusty and wild. Play him week in and out and he's a half decent defender. Good luck to him.

We no longer need anyone as we are packing a very strong squad now. Let Claude play with his squad and see what they are capable of. By June he will no a lot more about our resources and needs. Steer clear of Nonsense January business. I think we are doing well, so let's sit back and assess.

Then he remains on our books and might return. The goal is surely to get rid once and for all, same with Musa and maybe Slim. Loans don't really help us move on.

Top top player. Simple

Why all this talk of loans. Can't we just flog him, even if it's for nout?

It says something that he can't get in the match day squad as I think he's looked quality. Competition is indeed strong in our engine room these days.

Silva is the new Muzzy. He will get forward and give impetus. But maybe James is more solid defensively and CP wants that insurance.

He looks as he did last season, like a lad learning his trade. He is however not embarrassing himself and doing a half decent job. If that lad can be a left back at Man City, why can't Daniel be our much craved new right back.

He is undoubtedly talented, but too moody (hot & cold). He would do well to learn from Albrightons efforts. Do you think Marc has time to be moody, feck no, just roll your sleeves up and graft. Question is does Gray have that desire?

Read most of this thread. It's amazing how opinion differs. Yours isn't part of the consensus.

If that defence can continue to grow and we secure Drago, it's got years and years in it. So young as a unit. Results don't lie. Buy Drago and intensively school Amartey. We have evolved into a new defense as planned. Who'd have said that 12 months ago.

Our use of possession has been revolutionised and he is a massive part of this. Such a great buy.

He's getting plenty of pitch time since Puel arrived. He was starting early on, but has been passed by Albrighton in 1st 11 because Claude appreciated that Marc works his nuts off. Gray needs to get involved more often and positively influence play. He sparkles occasionally, but rarely shines!!

We have no real urgent needs so should only do business if a good value option becomes available. Our squad is too bloated if anything.

If he continues in the same vain, happily buy him for 15m.

We now have a squad with some proper depth. Good competition for places can only be good. Also gives master tactician Claude options to play with.

Excited by what I saw. Looks to have a bit more in the locker than the other CMs. Could defo be an attacking CM. Shades of Muzzy????

Yes he looks very tidy and has a bit more pace in him than other centre mids. Future looks bright

That Benny scares me. Looks a bomb scare

All too narrow and people running in the same channels. Hopefully CP will have corrected that at HT. Need to be snappier

If we can't win with that lineup something is seriously wrong. Now let's see.
