Depay? WTF. Just get Harvey back.

According to Indy

We have "intensified our monitoring" of Barcola.

Loolz. Levels of monitoring. Does it start with side eye glance?

Maybe we use the "No-Look" Bobby type signing style. Look at Semenyo and then sign a 'Barcola'.

Seriously the question is what do we actually need in our style of play and the way the team is evolving. The one thing that is clear and obvious for us is that we don't actually created very good chances anymore - and the reason for that is that nearly every team we play is in a very low low block when they defend against us, and we have no players on the wings that can take on their man like Diaz used to - to disrupt and put the opposition defence out of shape to create openings that are clear cut for our strikers. That is the first issue - chance creation, and then secondly

the players we do have are all goal-scoring types (yes I know they are not very goal-scoring for the most part this season) - and consumed by their own greed and need to score once in that final third. Also as a fanbase we have been spoilt by the Mane/Salah era of them in their prime having that ability to take on players and score goals at the rate of a traditional striker. We need to accept that most wingers in world football do not get those numbers of goals that those two got in their prime, and what we need is a traditional winger that can disrupt a defence even though their GA might not be high. I think if reports are to be believed regarding Semenyo and differences could be that Slot don't want a goal-scoring hybrid winger type, and would prefer a hit/miss GA but more capable dribbler like Barcola.

I don’t think he would have left regardless. Palace took that stance when the transfer window closed and Glasner will walk if they sell.

Glasner is leaving anyway. Contract expiring and he's should zero inclination to sign a new one (if one has even been offered). I think Guehi will cash in and not care one iota if Glasner leaves now or in the Summer. In fact if he walks now then likely they'll save money on any 'loyalty' bonuses.

One's a striker, one's I don't know what (and neither it seems does anyone else). I'm not for Depay but at least he's a goal scorer that could play up front to give Ekitike a rest for 10-20 mins..

A place which wants rid of our top scorer for the last 10 years and bring in an ex-Manc who failed there 10 years ago to collect his pension.

Sounds like a plan.

There's a case to say that we're best using Salah as a second striker and Harvey back on the right of midfield in a 4-2-3-1 when needed. I'm more concerned by the CB issue than I am the loss of Isak, and if there is a limited pot of money this January, then I'd throw it all at Guehi and give Elliott the chance to reignite his season.

Yes CB is by far the worst problem we are facing.

The lack of balance in the side when Salah plays is mind-numbingly obvious. If he can't score/assist and doesn't defend then what is the point? His historical brilliance isn't helping in the present. If he can't get out of this run of form, and it's permanent, then he's of no value to the TEAM.
