Never heard or seen him play so no idea what he's like. Another with potential it seems though.. I guess Matip and mane are players for the now while Grujic will be a bit part potential this year. Healthy mix

I agree, healthy mix.

Though it seems we may not be getting a senior LB. Just possibly Chillwell for the future.

I think a solid CM/DM is the signing that would make the most needed difference, improving both attack and defense, and cover Moreno better if we are going to keep him at LB. Moreno is good going forward, adding width when Coutinho roams.

I think Zielinski will most likely replace Allen as midfield impact sub. Henderson and Can will compete for the same spot (unless we fail to get the needed cm). Not sure what will happen with Lucas.

I think if we get a proper DM (someone like Mash) then having Moreno won't be disaster. He attacks fine but gets caught out but with a good DM there they should be able to tuck across and cover. Issue this year has been him and Cout on same side leaves us vulnerable, especially as none of our CM's are massively mobile in defence.

Much like how Dier and Rose/Walker work for England and Spurs. Dier joins that defense to cover so well.

Can, Henderson and Milner will be able to play more in their comfort zones with a DM beside them to.

<yikes> Moreno can't defend, end of. We must strengthen that position, or we will pay for it like we did v Sevilla
