    Would be very happy with this, rate Zaza highly from his time with Sassuolo and never been a big Pelle fan. Throw in the age difference and it would be a great deal for us

    Agreed.

    I'll get it down to one word: Progress.

    Two players for every position is the least strength a team should have. So 3 isn't plenty.

    We have standards at Saints....I even read an article by a neutral pointing out how good looking Saints players are (Targett must have been absent that day). Katharina obviously runs her eye over all prospects....Zaza won't make the cut. <laugh>

    We have two players for two central midfield positions (Wanyama, Romeu, Clasie, Reed, and that's not even including JWP and Davis who can play there).

    What about Mane being voted one of the ugliest players in the PL? :D

    I reckon eventually JWP could be the competition for Clasie, Just needs to improve on his defensive game.

    Davis plays infront of the defensive two. So you would be taking away a player from another position.
    Wanyama would be gone so you don't include him. That leaves Clasie, Reed, Romeu and maybe Prowse. That isn't strong enough.

    We just need to replace Wanyama with a similar player, as I already said. And there you have it, 4 players for 2 positions.

    It came across you were saying 3 is plenty as Reed didn't get a sniff. Then it came across you were disagreeing with me about needing two players in every position. I am going to take it as language barrier difficulties and agree with you.

    He has been known to have dodgy hair as well. He may get some points for being called Zaza but still.....

    Even with Leicester winning the title and actually being IN the Champions League; there are stories about how Vardy's contract, signed in January allows him to leave for a CL club for £20m. Therefore "they may face a struggle to keep hold of him".

    I think Vardy will stay. The only players they might struggle to keep hold of are Mahrez and Kante. Maybe Schmeichel too.

    Well you presented it as if we only had three players for those two positions, when in fact we have four (you ignored Clasie) or even five (JWP).
    If Wanyama leaves, then we only need to replace him to have the same numbers in midfield. And not, what you've said, to bring two additional players.
