I thought Dom was the signing of the season but good god Gravenberch has been phenomenal so far.

I think if you factor in the price he has to be right up there. I didnt think we'd see much of him but he's been excellent.
When you look at the squad its absolutely packed.
Andre in January, then a lb/cb in the summer and we've got a squad that can challenge.
The only 'but' is what happens if salah goes..

If we get a proper DM in January, I can't see Mac Allister getting much game time for the rest of the season. Has to be Dom and Granvenberch as the two attacking midfielders.
I've been watching Fluminense a little bit in big games. He's very tidy on the ball but i wouldnt call him a DM like a lot do.
I wouldnt want Andre as a DM personally. I like him, he's a good player but he's more Gini then he is Fabinho. I should stress it isnt a big sample size.
I don't think we are going for an out and out dm, we took a chance with Caicedo as he was on the market, we didn't pull the trigger on lavia. Andre would be perfect - more of an 'all action' midfielder that's very good defensively. Even endo isn't a true '6', just more defensive minded than the others we've got bar Bajectic

Thank god that didnt work out.
I forgot about Bajectic!
Endo, Mac Allister, Szobo, Elliot, Bajectic, Jones, Andre, Gravenberch, Thiago (not sure he counts tbh)
Thats ridiculous depth. As for Salah, I want him to stay personally but if a 150mil offer comes in again then i can see why theyd accept. As to who replaces him? Szobo? No idea.
Mo getting in on the act. I was just thinking youd be fuming coming on with minutes to go and he goes and scores.
Its good to see some of the fringe players. I was thinking how we need to replace Robertson but Bradley looked v good and in a few years could be exactly that.
