Nah, if he ain't good enough for PSG, he ain't enough for us. Get Hourihane back if we want a few cool finishes but sod-all else.

I like Asensio but not if it means Rogers has to play on the right wing.

Yeah, I'm really hoping that wouldn't be the outcome.

Liverpool look like they might replace TAA with Frimpong for £30m is superb business. Much like the deal to get Mac Allister from Brighton for less than his market value.

We are in final peices of the jigsaw time.
We need a bit more pace/ mobility in midfield, improve right back position it maybe that Garcia steps up. Then it’s all about Watkins stay or go.
I don’t think Assensio or Rashford will be here next season.
I remain unconvinced regarding Pau if we want to push on next season.

Losing one of you'r best players for nothing and having to spend £30m on a replacement is superb business?

He's a good player but I think he spent most of this season playing on the wing, and last season as a wing-back, so not a like for like replacement for TAA.  I'd advocate signing him as a winger and back-up RB at the price quoted.

You'd imagine that if we are signing Asensio, it wont go through until after the 30 June?

A bit further down the Asensio link was a piece about Geertruida being unhappy at Leipzig and we could possibly go back in for him.

He’s supposedly on £300k a week at PSG.
But no-one else is going to pay him that unless he moves to the middle east.

Agree, but only if the current squad stays mainly intact.  Agree about RB, definitely needs sorting.  Think we need another RCB adding (Disasi would be fine) and then a big decision on LCB.  Digne and Maatsen should be fine for another season at LB.

If Kamara stays, then I think we need a player with the qualities that an on-form Onana brings.  It's just whether Onana can produce that kind of form often enough to be that option.  Tielemans, McGinn and Barkley are good enough back ups and then Rogers and Ramsey on the left.

If Watkins stays, then him and Malen will be the striker options, which would just leave the number 10 and wide right positions.  If we can add real pace and quality in those two positions and tighten up a bit at the back, then I can see us being a real force next season.

They've got young Ned on loan with a view to a permanent so that could be a goer.

I reckon Cash has done very well recently, maybe he's just taken longer than others for UE to get him where he needs him to be.
