Well he would have to earn it wouldn’t he? If he went to Villa would he be a squad player?

Not really. We need somone who's main position is holding midfielder. You're idea is that we take Sadiki or Diarra or Le Fee or whoever and coach them to adapt to that role has been tried and failed. Some players play two holding midfielders and so buying an additional holding midfielder is THE priority.
Looks pycho. Im in.
Him and Brobbey in the box for a set piece v Lewis Hall etc...stuff of nightmares for them.
indeed, vital.
how much to get him, like ?

Yes but he would be a squad player for a champions league team who can offer better wages and a track record in recent history of european football. You would be more accepting of a squad role based on that, than moving to sunderland
We should boycott this guy imo.

He would be yeah, and as they’re in the Champions League and would pay him a big wage I could see him going there because they’re a level above us, that’s my point

This lad, Titraoui and (not that) Ibrahimovic linked. Think we might be prioritising getting midfielders in early, same as last summer.

Be a good solid signing this if we can get him in …

It’s the type of signing you’d expect Hull, Ipswich or Coventry to make
One last pay day
I think most clubs sign older players on a free transfer when they're available. For instance, Alex Pritchard was a good signing.

The wages for a bit part player will be astronomical and he has been a bit of a sick note of late. I don’t see it for us

Don’t know much about him and Cant recall ever seeing him play
Clearly has a good football CV but with his recent injury woes and his age I’d be apprehensive
Xhaka is ( has been ) very resilient and rarely misses many games
I’d prefer to see a full prior season of appearances for a player of that vintage before signing
In his favour in the 2 years he played under de Zerbi at Marseilles, he played 34 and 35 times.
De Zerbi has a good reputation and record as a manager ( despite the prevailing anti spurs sentiment on here ) and plays a high energy game, so this lad may be the dogs whatnots
As I have said elsewhere our recruitment team are akin to old KGB in terms of secrecy.
At best we learn 2 days before who we are signing and more usually it is a complete surprise

Good points. I'm very dubious about his durability. High wages too. But Ghisolfi and Le Bris will have their own view.
