Just offer the money to Lens to buy him outright, looks just what we need.

This is the same Douglas Luiz who disappeared for half a season, was trying to get himself sent off at times, giving free kicks away on the edge of our own box?  that one?  The one who apologised to the fans for really poor performances?  Let's move on shall we?  We need centre backs and the same players who were excellent last season to find some form and stop being anonymous on the pitch.

The same Douglas  luiz who has scored more goals than youri and onana combined this season in premier league goals you mean?

No shame  in resigning ex players  steve!

It won't help the defending, it won't help the lack of pace or the lack of creativity.  If we have the money, we need to spend it properly elsewhere.  Each to their own but we need better players further forward.

Lens have turned down all offers of £21M for him.

Replacement for Konsa, please.

He may come good again.

But he’s way off it at the moment.

We need to pull the stops out and sign a genuinely good centre half. Konsa needs proper competition once Torres is back.

We won't stop leaking goals though until we stop the idea of Tielemans as a holding mid. Kamara and Barkley is the only combination I would trust in there, and Barkley is made of glass.

Barkley can't run either but Tielemans is just being targeted each game now by players running at him. Onana looks a dud too.

I agree, but it is a double edged sword Steve. My issue is the way we want to play, the 2 in the double pivot have to be all things to all men. Onana ain't that. They need to do the defensive work, but also need to progress the ball. Douglas had the ability to release the forward players earlier, getting us behind faster than we are this season. I am using him as an example, but the reality for me is you look at Tonali and Guimares at Newcastle, they are top drawer.

Right now we need a centre half and a 10 more, but in the summer that midfield alongside Kamara needs to be looked at, and we need to scout like crazy to find a couple of options. Or hope Enzo is the answer, which he may well be.

What he will help with though  is improve our set pieces  and attacking play. We can get a defender in to help with the defensive side.

Luiz has scored more goals in the Premier League this season than Youri and Onana? That's impressive.

How embarrassing  for you. Only you have said luiz 'this season'

Read it again  luiz scored more goals - than onana and youri have 'this season'. As luiz is no longer our player i was obviously  referring to last season when he was our player.  But im sure you know this otherwise i would be a bit worried

£50m should do the trick.

Spurs have hijacked Danso off Wolves. Good move for them.

Meanwhile... Tumbleweed on us getting a centre back in.
