    Chelsea;
    Caicedo, Lavia, Palmer

    Bayerns;
    Kimmich, Goreztka, Musiala

    Real
    Bellingham, Camavinga, Modric

    Barcelona
    Gavi, Pedri, De Jong

    But to be fair not many past that I can think of!

    According to the media this is only because every team that loses to Newcastle has had the worst performance in their history.

    I was just about to say Liverpool. We're on form at the moment and that's great but Liverpool have been ace all season.

    There's not many midfield I'd swap them for currently though. Get our CBs and Keeper sorted (and ideally RW but we're getting greedy here) and we would start to look like a top 4 team on paper too

    It’s good company to be in that list maybe add Arsenal (odegard rice merino) to that list but still you talking about one of the top 8(-10 accounting for others I don’t know) midfields in the world right there.

    RW and RCB will do for this window, leave keeper for the summer imho and we are in with more than a decent chance of top 4

    I think we need proper cover for Isak. Hope January looks at that.

    Proper cover for Isak would be a £30m+ player in all likelihood. The priority listing for me would be:

    1 - CB (ideally RCB)
    2 - RW
    3/4/5 - GK, backup striker, CB

    We can't afford anything like that sort of outlay but if we can get in 1 player I hope it's a defender. Alongside Botman coming back it would suddenly make our team look a hell of a lot better. At least in theory we have players like Barnes, Wilson, Almiron and Osula who can contribute in a front 3 if needed (and not injured).
