I bet we'll be disappointed with the pedigree of the forward signing. We have 4 first team players there already, so it kind of makes no sense to buy another 23 year old on the cusp of stardom because there's less playing time available. I think this time it will be someone younger, maybe more obscure, that will be more developmental.

 

And in the midfield, except if we manage to sell Keita, I think there's a good chance we don't even buy an established first team midfielder. Could be someone younger as well.

we're going to lose salah and mane for a large chunk of this season though. there'll be plenty of game time for whoever comes in.

Not sure where this closer look is coming from. Maybe we’re buying a telescope. 
 

Anyways, he’s awesome on FM21 and I therefore fully endorse this transfer. 
 

We should try and send Origi the other way.

I do remember some interest we were supposed to have in him but Doku just moved the Rennes. He's not leaving now and certainly not for 23m when he signed there for 23m a year ago.

 

Also, it's kind of normal at his age, but he has no end product. He's all pace and dribbling.

We can't plan for the AFCON being cancelled. We have to plan for it going ahead. 

For the last 3 years fans have been like "imagine when like 5 of our players leave mid season" and then the tournament is scrapped or changed and it doesn't happen.

Shall we just pretend it doesn't exist then and 2 of our 4 forwards are African of teams that have qualified?

I just don’t think we'll spend big money on an established, quality forward because there may or may not be a tournament in January. Sue me. I think it'll be lower caliber.
