Acuna links are true. Would be if Digne goes (guessing Saudi)

Pity he isn't right-footed as he would be perfect as an additional option for Cash - who I'm still not sure about.

Imagine the amount of red cards he’d get in the PL :-)

Worth considering imo. 37, he's not too old for one season. This go Silva is older and is a regular for Chelsea. Rmaos would pop up with a few goals too.

Cash is an odd one, after Saturday thought he was v poor & needs upgrading, he’ll probs have a stormer v Everton and be happy again :/)

I’m not sure he is a good enough attacker or a good enough defender to be consistent

Emi and Ramos in cahoots together, we'd be hated.

It's a solid 'yes' from me.

Good man, cheers.

If our entire squad was fit then Cash would be the weak link in the back 4 and be next in line for an upgrade. With all the disruption now I'm not sure we need to be adding another new player in the mix. I know Costa's been with us for over a year but he's basically new, Torres stepping in for Mings, Digne covering for Moreno, it could be very haphazard at the back for a game or two.

I'm all for signing a new RB, but until Moreno is back I think Cash should start.

Good points, it's a very inexperienced back four now. In terms of Premier League know how and playing the Emery way.

We've got Everton and Burnley next, the two qualiers, then Liverpool at Anfield before the break. We should be aiming at 4 wins out of that, and then who knows at Anfield. After the break, hopefully, we'll have Ramsey and Moreno back, but until then I'd think as little disruption as possible given how much we've already had in the space of a few days.

Pepe is still playing and only 40, would add the much needed "physicality" we're missing

Sergio Ramos is a free agent.

Just saying.

He's a twat, but i wouldn't say no for a season.

I'm quite happy to have a few intimidating sorts in the team. As long as nobody actually gets hurt, just roughed up a fair bit.
