I'm not convinced this is the best idea, but I suppose if we want someone experienced to give Xhaka a break from time to time then maybe. Just think he's declining in ability by the sounds of it
Next week

SAFC would like to welcocome Kondogbia to the club on an 3 yr deal

I’m not sure on the player himself but his profile is what we need imo. Not going to be many players out there with loads of European experience who are willing to play back up to Xhaka every week and step in when needed. Going to need a fair few bodies through the door to cope with the demand of playing 2/3 times a week. Our bench was absolutely honking at times last season, 4-5 u21s on there. We need a bench of players who we’d be happy with as starters. Can’t be left short again this upcoming season but I genuinely think we’re going to throw everything at it. We haven’t came this far in such a short space of time to half arse it.

Get some real quality additions in but a few sensible signings who can pack out the squad and make us have genuine rotation options.

Yep,good post mate,can't disagree with any of that.
 
Darwin Nunez is leaving Saudi....
I’d take Nunez in a blink me.

He’s raw but he’s dangerous and he has that thing we love here, he grafts his bollocks off.

He also scored 2 v the rats.

Salary be mental so we’d never go for him but I genuinely think he would be potentially class for someone like us.

as many south american mentalists as possible for me, type of player that would thrive here IMO

Aye I agree.

Liverpool fans actually loved him as well he wasn’t all bad.

Had they paid £30m and not £85m would have been very different.

He’s a grafter, a menace and occasionally he can finish. I’d take him without a seconds thought.
