price tag is insane, but darwin is a really good striker. i was wondering who'd pick him up. i think he would have been a good fit for bayern in case lewandowski finally leaves, but i haven't even heard rumours about them considering that option. maybe benfica's asking price was just too high for them.

there were some rumours, but they stated that the club decided against it pretty quickly

the fee wouldnt even have been that much in the overall picture in my opinion if you factor in ~40m or so for lewandowski

now gieb sadio mane please B)

An excellent first transfer window from Julian Ward so far. I think we'll sell Neco Williams for £10-15m and then hopefully we get a CM in. I don't think it can wait until next season.

why a CM ?

fabi, hendo, thiago, keita, milly, jones, elliot and oxo

i think we would need one if oxo leaves

fabinho - world class
hendo, thiago - in their 30s, will need to rotate/rest them
keita/ox - inconsistent/not good enough
jones/elliot - still young and unproven
milner - guy will be 37 in Jan

I dont think the age profile of our midfield is very good. Lots of players either too young or are getting too old
