He could have been an all-time great at Leicester and chose to give that up for a pay rise and to sit on Chelsea's bench. He has done absolutely nothing on the pitch since, and has problems off it. There is no recent evidence to suggest he would make our team better, and every indication that he would make our dressing room worse.

It would be a desperate, stupid, move.

Percy saying El Ghazi and Trezuguet performancea have been sources of frustration.

We're after midfielders primarily with top flight experience, there was no intention for major signings, but that has changed.

It's paper/twitter talk and all that talk is of a loan, it's not like we've already signed him for a big wedge and lengthy contract.

Yes but it would probably indicate that no other midfielders were coming in. If it happens, I think this would be as pointless as last year’s Tom Carroll loan.

 Its all about opinions, but im interested to know what that evidence is, because to my eyes we have a dressing room full of bottlers and a midfield short of experience. We are so easy to break against and despite his alleged misdemeanors, a fully fit something to prove Drinkwater may well be the answer. We could also then move Luis into a more attacking role, alleviating the loss of SJM?

Why would a loan, if it happens, indicate no one else is coming in, have we said we're only going to sign 1 midfielder?

Burnley are hardly having a great season, why hasn't he played for them?

It's like, my opinion, man.

I think we're looking at 4.

Centre half, central midfielder, striker and a winger.

Webster, Philips, Maupay & Benrahma

Suso out!

I don't think Maupay will leave, the others however......

are all lower division players with potential. I think we're after experience?

Are we close to the 25 man senior squad limit?
