I am intrigued by these links to Barkley on a free. Arguably we do need more bodies in midfield if we are going to mainly be playing three there
We have Lavia, JWP, Diallo, AMN and Aribo. But the concern would be wages and contract length. It would be risk to give him more than two years based on recent efforts. I think we would need Redmond to move on to free up the wages? Because I'd guess that despite getting the wages of Forster, Long, Broja, Bednarek, all or most of Stephens off the wage bill I still think our overall wage bill has likely increased due to the number of signings (or at the very least is the same)
