I still can't believe some of you think there's a player in Schneiderlin that makes sense in any midfield a top squad is trying to employ. He's not very good, he's super slow, he offers nothing going forward, he can't mark a quick player, and just isn't effective at any high level.

Unless he plays well, he is excellent when he does and was top prem performer in the periods he decided to show up. It is in there.
 
Marega what we need? Don’t know much about him
He’s been discussed quite a bit. He has no agility, big and fast in a straight line, he’s nowhere near as good as Aboubakar. I honestly think he’s not good enough for the PL and certainly not good enough for us. No one in their right mind would pay more than 5M for him.
 

..cheers, very interesting. He looks a similar shape to Holgate and those clips indicate plenty of games as a LB.

Just checked and he’s actually 6ft 1in.
I read a bit on him last night, they seem to think long term he will be a CB. I haven’t watched the clip, apparently technically very good, quick and good in the air
 
..we desperately need players with Rolls Royce engines so i’m much happier being linked with this lad than Vida.
With the other young French CB we were linked with, who’s gone to Valencia? Hopefully that’s the way we are going.
One young CB with loads of potential fir a decent price. And maybe one mid twenties who goes straight into the team.
 
But we've got enough young centre backs, got a few highly rated players in the youth and Holgate, as well as two oldies. We need centre backs in their prime age, we let the only one we had in that bracket go.

Seen a few on twitter like this, all saying he filled in mostly at left back last season but is much better as a left sided centre half.

Sounds ideal as it’s a left sided centre back we need, but we’d also have a back up left back as well. Loves a drag back going by that vid so on that alone I’m in!

Who, Funes Mori? Yeh he fell into the age bracket but he's not very good.

I agree with the principle though. Think we need a CB in the 24-28 range.
 
Not sure why age matters over ability. You’d hardly turn your nose up at Varane and Umtiti signing would you.

In fairness, Varane is 25 and Umtiti 24. They're entering their prime years in a way and are both vastly experienced (even though I appreciate most CBs are at their best by 28/29).
