Not sure how many of those midfielders will make it through the season without some significant time out. Hendo, Ox and Keita all seem prone to injury. Milner isn't getting any younger and Thiago, despite his skill, can't tackle a wet tissue. IMO we definitely need to reinforce our midfield.

Speaking of CB, I'm not keen on this Konate lad at all, definitely not for the price reported at least. Has hardly played for Leipzig in the past 2 years, when did we even scout him properly?

Yeah sorry mate I worded that wrong when I say contribute going forward I wasn’t talking about goals and assists etc I mean he shouldn’t be embarrassed by the ball i.e he should be able to play a bit.
I suppose a bit like Gini himself, he didn’t weigh in with loads of goals or assists but he had enough ability on the ball to take part in passing moves and to extricate himself from tricky situations if they arose. That type of thing.

He's at a cut price of £25m because Lyon failed to qualify for the Champions league.. and he's only 22 aswell.
