According to reports on X, Garcia is heading in for his medical and Badé said his goodbyes after Sevilla’s game today.

Great that certainly  helps in two areas we need abit of assistance  in.

Bogarde is also a handy option as can play in various roles

I hope Bade and Garcia are seen as replacements for Konsa and Cash.  Hope both deals come off.

Alternatives rather than replacements I would have thought particularly Konsa.

Konsa is a better player next to Mings, but he shouldn't be guaranteed games.  His general defending has been weak for many weeks. Hopefully Bade coming in will give him the kick up the pants he needs because we know Konsa can be quality.

Wouldn't mind a loan defensively minded midfielder in to finish off the window. Luiz would be nice.

I’d love him to come back, but we can only add three to our CL squad apparently.

The Athletic are suggesting he can leave on loan (Man City thinking about it).  Juve would prefer with an obligation to buy but that is not a prerequisite of any deal apparently.

I’d love him back.  Get the Kamara and Luis band back together.

Don't see him coming back.

He had five decent years with us and is prob after different experiences at this point (not sure splinters on the Juve bench was part of that masterplan, mind).

But if we're looking at another midfielder between now and the summer it needs to be someone of that profile; someone who is comfortable taking the ball deep and breaking the press. But also has a bit of imagination to their passes further up the field.

I doubt we have the finances for it but I'd love Duggie back, Onana hasn't had the consistent impact we'd hoped for and Barkley wont last forever so there is a vacancy.

Get him in on loan then in the summer look to shift Buendia, Barrenechea, Barkley, Bogarde (operation B) to balance the books.

Are we keeping Barry, Barkley and Bouba?

Surnames only.  Kamara stays but Barry can be added to the sales list.  Who needs a scouts around the world and huge database. Easy.
