Taki and Ox will have to be considered front 3 cover , otherwise we have a massively overloaded midfield without much playtime for everybody .
I see Shaq leaving and even less playtime for Millie . At least we will not run out of staff if Ox , Naby or whoever else is getting injured again.
Mate, these below alone are your responses to the initial rumour:
āāIf Bayern are allowing approaches, i wonder if we are feigning interest but discussing with the player a potential move next summer on a free? Even then, i cant see how he fits in to our buying model. Our squad now has title and CL winning experience running through out. Next stesps are surely tightening up gaps in squad cover/depth and developing a pool of younger players to succeed our current team as they age?āā
''He misses a lot of games through injury and would have to adjust not only to our way of playing but to our league. Being 29 makes that so much harder and leaves us little time to benefit from it should he successfully do so.
You only need to see the difficulties Klavan, Matip, Keita and Gundogan etc have had who were much younger.āā
āāI havent seen enough to judge his quality, but his age and fitness levels would suggest it doesnāt make sense. We already have 3 players in midfield hitting 29+.āā
āāBuying a 29 year old midfielder adds to the rebuilding job at that price and it doesnāt sound like he will be playing for too many more years.āā
āāBut if he struggles to stay fit in Germany, how will he manage here - Keita was a virtual ever present there as was I think Klavan and Matip? Secondly, he will need to adapt to the pace and physicality of English football.āā
The first few pages of his thread when it first came about and simultaneously in the Unreliable Rumours thread were full of people going, āāNahāā
Hilarious his name alcantara means the singer in spanish his song is already in the YNWA hymn āthe sweet song of the larkā
Here we go lads the flight tracker on reddit was right!
Michael Edwards take a bow you have just put Levy in the shade
No donāt think so, I now expects him to stay this season and leaving next summer.
Levy is just viewed that way because of his portrayal in the media as the āarch negotiatorā. One need only look at the amount they could have gotten for Christian Eriksen for the misplaced praise he gets.
Agreeā¦someone (and I donāt mean only fringe players) has to be leaving, right?
Last week of window I expect some of Wilson, Grujic, Shaq and the gang to go. Not sure why anyone else needs to go?
Come on admin just for today and for today only can you please relax the 20 likes rule its not fair i was so happy to enjoy all the posts today!!!
Bayern fans are in tears now, that serves them right!
Maybe Ox to Wolves is true?
Link please , Iād like a bit of salt for my lunch break.
Not sure why. The two deeper CM roles would have Thiago, Henderson and Wijnaldum as options with Fabinho being a defensive specialist and 4th choice at CB. Keita, Ox and Jones would be the options for the more attacking CM role, 1 kid plus 2 injury riddled players. That all doesnāt look overloaded in fact with Ox and Keitaās injury records along with Fabinho maybe having to cover CB where Matip may be an issue we might not have enough. Although we will have Milner as an emergency option which is good as itāll be a much busier more compressed season.
Confirmed on the Beeb article. Apologies if posted before:

Loverenās old number, then?
Iām finding it amusing that weāll be getting more money for Lovren this year than weāre having to pay out for Thiago. 
Went to Bild.de and yes Rummenigge said that Liverpool and Bayern agreed on the transfer this morning.
