If a 4231 is to be our favoured position we could do a lot worse. However, now that Mata has extended and Jesse obviously won’t be sold - would certainly be overkill.

They'll demand over 80 mil for him if we want him.
Yeah I know James Rodriguez doesn't fit the whole young, British core thing we're going for but WHOLLY CRAP 40 million in this day and age for a player of his quality is like the money that the Glazers have under the cushions of their antique leather sofas. He would shite all over Mata or Lingard in the middle or on the right. Que pena.
If they deploy him as a second striker or attacking midfielder, he will do well for the Toon. Never a striker though, he is pretty shit in front of goal. Excellent hold-up play though, very good technique coupled with a very high work rate. I’m actually surprised Liverpool aren’t in for him, he’d fit a Klopp team like a glove. Not a goalscorer, but I feel his skill set will suit the Premier League just fine. He had a very good season at Hoffenheim, but got injured at crucial times as well. Good attitude too. As Rapid Vienna are my local team, I’ve watched Joe for two years and think he can make it in the Premier League. Not sure if the price isn’t too high, but Hoffenheim obviously don’t really want to sell.
Surprised you think so highly of him.
Don't think he did that well at Rapid and I certainly don't think he is all that.
His main problem is that he is lacking a clear position. The skill set is good enough, but let’s see how he is being deployed by Bruce. He was surely lacking in front of goal in Vienna, but even that improved under Nagelsmann’s coaching.
True
We can get some of those signings though, forgetting the swap deals....but we wont"obviously it isnt that simple but point is" knew I should have bolded and underlined it. My point was simply "Maguire is the only option" type posts etc etc etc, there are plenty of good players about and we have plenty to get rid of, we should be doing far far more. We actually have some really good youngsters, if we actually made some bold moves this summer we could actually compete for that title
The realistic thing is at the moment we have signed a phenomenal young right back and that is pretty much it and barely got rid of anybody, go back 3/4 months and nobody would be happy with that as a whole at this point
Great signing. Would have been a big value signing even for us. Theres better midfielders but for 20 million or below? Nobody would have been better value than Rabiot on a free
They're just buying him to win more free kicks for Messi to ping in.
He's nearly 30 and it's clear were moving away from signing players of that age profile.
I understand that, but he's one of the best ball winners around. Would be perfect next to Pogba.
PSG are going to have a decent midfield selection with Verratti (Paredes as back-up) and Gueye (Herrera).
My God we are so poorly run.
Have a feeling we'll regret this one
Dave stays.
First Trippier and now this guy? Both started the Champions League final! Interesting moves from Spurs.
Trippier went for peanuts (for a 28 England international), what are they looking to get for Rose?
You don’t want them to get a taste of something else they may enjoy more? This sounds like an abusive relationship
If you look at it from the perspective of the player, the things you’ve listed out there, a loan to a club like Leipzig is much better than to a club like Saints or Brighton.Asking price is £20m apparently
£375k per week. Not too shabby for a GK if true.
Will Leicester agree for anything below their valuation? I don’t think so, unless Maguire downs tools which he probably won’t.
The Mail are so lucky to have mind-reading journalists who can tell us what club officials are "considering".
