There was a Bremen game on TV recently and I watched it to see what he was all about, it was some time before his name was mentioned. I know its only one game but he didn't look as good as what we've got.

This might be a bit mad but I’d be going for Phil Foden - either on loan or with a serious bid.
Statement signings in January are very hard to make. Or they are very expensive. I don’t think we need a statement signing as such, more add players that mean the drop off from say a Barkley or Konsa doesn’t mean Hourihane or Elmo. We have to keep adding quality depth and one or two serious injuries we are in a pickle again.

It would be a huge mistake not to try and get those players in January to capitalise on our start (depending on how the next few games - we could even be in the European mix on Boxing Day).We might struggle to get guaranteed first-11 starters in January, but it would be great to add a bit more depth and have some proper cover on the bench that doesn't bring the level down too much when some of our first-11 are out.
My main worry is an injury to Watkins.
