Surely, surely we're looking at right back options. The club knows that the position needs filling by the summer and they'll surely be looking at targets already. They should at least try their hand at trying to get one of their first choices in January.
 
Thats fair enough mate, I watch alot of Serie A and Ligue 1, and whilst Khedira isn't fast yes positionally he is great, nice tackler, and with the way Allan plays would be nice to have someone who is always in position

Its more the fact that for a cheap fee im sure Ancelotti would like him in our squad
He would maybe help us very short term but that is still only if he can handle the pace. He's a player I like but it just is the wrong circumstances.
 
Leaving aside he is an arrogant, lazy, weapon-headed bellwhiff, I look at Dele Ali and wonder "where would he even play in our team?"

For Spurs and England he has been deployed pretty much exclusively as a 10 in a 4-2-3-1 (please correct me if I'm wrong). His style of play appears to be that of a goalscoring threat arriving late in the box. He's doesn't drop back, press, win the ball back or defend. He's not creative, he doesn't dribble past people... he's a finisher.

On loan as cover for DCL, playing as a CF in our 4-3-3, MAYBE he works out. Would I rather have him as my backup CF instead of Tosun? Yes.

At the moment if DCL gets hurt or suspended we have to move Richarlison to CF and hope to get a tune out of Gordon or Bernard. I actually prefer having Richarlison out wide.

Good God, I am actually coming around to the idea of Ali coming in on loan.
 

He may not be the fastest player, but if you’ve got a good footballing brain you know where to be and when. Also I’d take a good calm passer of the ball at the minute rather than someone who can leg it around the pitch all day.
Gareth Barry springs to mind. I would definitely take him too, immediately improves our first team. Omitting James from this formation below, for the second paragraph.

Pickford
Coleman Holgate Keane Digne
Khedira
Allan Doucoure
Alli
DCL Richarlison

Alli I would take too. Why not? A loan with an agreed price to buy for. He's 24 and worth a gamble. 18 month loan, it doesn't work out, we don't buy? It brings a different type of way to attack to our front 3. I would prefer to bring on Alli than Tosun.

Where is the width coming from?

You would think so but no links really so far. Maybe the plan is to play Coleman first choice, Iwobi 2nd Choice if Digne is fit to play on the left, with Digne injured we play Holgate at RB (like we did in the last game). If all 3 of them are unavailable, we will play Kenny at RB.

I actually think this would make us worse than what we've been playing but then again removing James for Dele will do that. I really dislike the Khedira idea as bad as we need a #6.
