I'd say Madders has been one of our better players recently and isn't one I'd be in a rush to sell. Whilst we need a rebuild of sorts we can't lose too many first team players and we are already losing Tielemans and probably Soyuncu.

Another name I'd like to see us looking at in Angelo Fulgini from Angers - can play off the right, can play through the middle, creative outlet that runs his socks off. Was priced at 15m euros this summer gone. Super easy on the eyes too, silky & skilful on the ball.

Would be great if we could get £50k for him

Surely he will sign permanently for Everton at the end of the season? Especially if he plays well for them on loan. I think that is far more likely than him changing clubs yet again plus he would have to relocate. 

Yeah that’s a big possibility. But surely we should be after him. Start bidding for him now.

Not sure if we could get him, but I like Dahoud at Dortmund. Similar player to Youri, his contract expires at the same time as his too. He is technically excellent:

You never know but I think he’d sign for Everton where he would be already settled presumably. Possibly Everton would pay higher wages aswell? Also it would be tough changing to a third club in a short space of time that’s why I think Everton will sign him on a big contract at the end of the season. Also they might have an agreement already in place on a provisional basis.

.....he looks exquisite, so comfortable on the ball never panics or rushes and seems to be surrounded by 5 players and twist out of it with ease!!!

Two thirds the way through I was thinking, it all looks good, but little end products, run of the mill lay offs and just not being able to release other players with any type of vision or awareness. The last part of the videos are good strikes with him getting forward and can finish.

  Looks like someone we can could use, just not too sure about the ability to release other players and play them in.

Wonder how much Koopmeiners would cost?

Isn't he a Raiola man and not long gone to Atalanta? He'd be £40m minimum but go and get Arne Slot and put the band back together here.

[RowlattsFox]

He doesn't need to be 'as good' with the ball as Tielemans, for me but needs to be a better all round player. Good technique yes, and to pass forward, receive the ball from the centre backs confidently, but also needs to be able to get around the pitch. Most important needs to be someone who can control a game, lead and organise others.

Goal is we drum up enough hype around Arne Slot that some media outlet gets hold of it as a genuine rumour and they start the ball rolling😂

Kocku at Feyenoord, was heavily linked in January 2021 and has progressed to be a very consistent and creative midfielder in Holland.

Not that great!

Weren’t we linked to Joao Palinha previously?

More of an Ndidi replacement no?

Yes perhaps so, certainly seems to fit the more physical type though

Certainly don’t disagree about improving the physical side of our midfield!

[-sodapop]

Seko Fofana has the same agent as our Mendy - Lens turned down 20m in January from either Newcastle or Burnley (I forget which), but he looks absolutely class.

[eddylcfc]

Florian Neuhaus.

More of a Maddison type player is he not? Suppose with KDH that's not a bad thing.

[MalletFox]

How long until we see the periodic William Carvalho links??

I wouldn't be looking to sell Maddison, build a team around him and Daka.

[-sodapop]

Gianluca Busio at Venezia, get our own yank?

[ALC Fox]

Go all out with a big bid for Gallagher? He's less of a Youri type and perhaps more of a KDH/Maddison hybrid. Could work on the right of a diamond or a midfield three with him and KDH either side of Ndidi.
