With the caveat that weāre not entirely sure if this midfield 2-2 box is a long term solution, and if so how it changes the requirements of the various roles, one of the key attributes Klopp has previously required of his DM is aerial strength. My reflex when thinking about how this impacts Bajcetic is to think that heās likely to need to develop into a more box to box player, something we did see to good effect in several of his performances already. But then I remember that he is deceptively tall at 6ā1" and likely to add more pounds to his frame over the next year or two.
So what point am I making? Not sure, Im hoping someone can tell me

Yes, i get the feeling from what iāve read that heās on our list but not near the very topā¦
Neil Jones reckons we want Colwill as well as Thuram and Gravenberch as our preferred CMs. If we sign three more players I would expect one to be home grown. Just not sure Chelsea will sell unless the player asks for a move.

I doubt they sell him and even if they entertained the idea I imagine theyād use Ben White as the benchmark for where to price him up which would put him well out of our reach.

I think weād have more complications convincing Colwill to come, rather than Chelsea to sell him. Chelsea are allegedly locked into discussions over a new deal but they also want Caicedo, which Brighton are aware of, so they use it to strengthen their hand over convincing Chelsea to sell Colwill to them.
Also, I think that someone wrote that selling academy players is actually the best route for Chelsea to fulfil FFP obligations because all the money gained on selling academy players is counted as profit. Mount and Colwill could fetch them around 100 million pounds, I guess.

Who do you think heād choose? LFC orBrighton?

Thereās no such thing. Thereāll still be a massive signing-on fee, agentsā fees, etc to be paid.

Gravenberch is according to his own words in the Dutch newspaper expecting to stay at Bayern
Iām with a top 3 club in the world. I think thatās beautiful and special. Iām not giving that up just like that. My goal is still to succeed at Bayern.
Well, heād be a regular starter for Brighton, heās on his way to break into English national team, he knows the team, the managerā¦ Like us, they also play Europa League!

In fairness heās not guaranteed to be a starter at Brighton. He wasnāt last season (started about 1/3 of their games).

Still not sure what Gravenberch offers us that Jones doesnāt. Kone makes more sense as a target for me.
I donāt necessarily think Neil Jones has the inside scoop on who we prefer though, so I wonder where heās pulling that from.
