No chance on that no matter how much money we have mate. Unless Bayern choose to let him go.

Nah I know, he's going to be next thing. Absolutely quality player.

Ron has said he could see Ross as a DM.

As I said all positions especially those in the centre require intelligence. Whether Ross has that or not he has other advantages. His passing is fantastic and he doesn't give the ball away cheaply even if that's what people have a go at him for (apart from Sunderland).

Doesn't give the ball away cheaply? Didn't see the Sunderland game? Or the Bournemouth one that's on now?

Why oh why did we not get this lad over the line?

Edit: Carvalho, that is.

His passing range is brilliant and he sniffs danger like Barry obviously not in same way as Gueye.

He's fantastic... so who we selling to fund his wages this time?

Linked with strootman today, £17.1m, I think it would be a good signing;

When does the January transfer thread open?!

Grzegorz Krychowiak at PSG please.

Telford-Feb-85 · October 31, 2016

He's been playing quite a bit for Roma and seems to have got over his injuries. Be a great signing.

Liam Walsh.

Fabregas to go out on loan in Jan maybe.... he'd be an ideal replacement for Barry

Not sure CF is the same sort of player defensively as GB. The latter hunts and breaks down opposition attacks where possible, and as we know is not averse to a card or two to achieve that. I'm not sure CF has that in his locker.
His passing ability isn't questioned.
Depends if Koeman would be looking for a 'like for like' player, or looking to play a different formation to the one he plays now.
He will be playing the current formation because it plays to our current strengths.
