would be losing out then really as i prefer them two to xhaka

probably not to be honest

Yeah.

Abdenour + Townsend
=
Van Djik + Lamela

Abdenour = Rabiot

Bruma + Forster + Willian = Lamela + Butland

Bruma is ahead of Van Dijk for Holland and looking likely to get a move this summer after his performances in the CL

Would definitely say he's on the same level as Koulibaly and Abdennour but fair enough

You can always release someone, you also get a better keeper and Willian who gives you the player to do the dirty work for Mata and co

Sokratis can go, the others stay

No ta. I don't want to sell Boat yet.

Eh, I don't really not. Not sold on Sokratis so not going to make outlandish demands. As long as whoever is coming in fits in to my side then I'm happy.

Well you'd be getting the level of CB you're after which I'm sure is more use than some of the other players you have

I think he is personally

Few articles there if it helps

I won't be letting Fosu-Mensah go this summer. He's going to be a utility player for next season.

When the big move come, with inter and Juve reported to be after him, it'll be too late I'd want to keep him especially when I'm not convinced swapping Willian for Lamela is a good move for me anyway

That's why I offered you an improvement which imo Forster definitely is, for me been the best keeper in the league with De Gea over the last few years and the future of your CB with Bruma for free

I think Forster is better, Willian/Lamela I'm not sure about, my thinking is that if I want to be more fluent in attack having someone who can play SS/CF on both sides as Lamela imo could would help transition from 4-4-2 to 4-3-3 better than Willian and allow me to fit Koke and Griezmann into the same team, whereas for you Willian covers the ground that Mata/Eriksen/Mahrez don't going backwards as well as giving you someone to actually hold width and stretch teams when you attack, as the other three and Lamela all want to come inside to get involved

i agree there but I think Alli and Kane are a lot better at covering ground than Mata and Alcacer which is important as your FBs will have to push high up to help you stretch teams, that's not as big a problem for Spurs irl as those two extra hard working legs in the middle cover a lot of ground, Xhaka and Kante are class but any DMs left vulnerable will always struggle no matter how good they are imo

I think Willian offers you more dynamism and Lamela offers me more flair, that's why I want him anyway

Ginter is my RB not CB so couldn't do that as it would leave me light at FB and I'm already losing a lot imo

Barkley can definitely do the job I agree but Barkley and Lamela < Mata and Willian. Mata for me is undoubtedly your best player, team should be set up to get the best out of him, the CMs is a start but you still need a player to stretch teams out otherwise the middle becomes too crowded

I think Dembele is the best player of the 4, Kante and Xhaka > Dier although Dier has had a great season. It doesn't matter who is in there though, even Matic and the likes have been shown up when they've not had the protection in front of them, Kante and Xhaka can't run to cover your flanks and cover your midfield at the same time, with no natural winger and only 2 of your forward 4 having good work rate they will get dragged around no matter how good they are

Fair enough, it's on the table anyway if you change your mind, very eager to shuffle things up

Im sure it is but you don't have a CF that would fit in my system to offer back

Miranda interest you?

I'll give you Sokratis in a deal for Lamela

I'll add in Calhanoglu
