Bring the youngsters through, yes please -but we really need that experienced CM who can dominate games (and chip in with a few goals) to support and mentor them as they came through. Will cost a lot, but our top prority, IMHO.
Oh, and by the way, Alzate is an excellent young CM, but he is not naturally an ACM.

Can't disagree with that. An imposing CM who can break up play and manage a forward pass without giving away possession would make a significant difference. Not knocking anyone but we always seemed to be one player light in midfield last season and put ourselves under too much pressure too often.
Exactly this, it is the position we need some additional quality in the most.
I know I’m probably alone but I’m not that bothered about a striker, I have faith in what we have already, and would rather the money was invested in better quality behind them.
We’ll probably be playing 1 man up front for most of the time and I fully believe Andone is the man. I think he’s quality and with a good run as first choice, which he hasn’t had yet, he’ll show that. Back up from Murray, Locadia and possibly Connolly and we’re sorted there IMO.
I would spend whatever budget we have on the midfielder and save a bit for a young right back as back up for Montoya and I think we’ve got a good, competitive squad.

It seems to me Hayden and Camarasa are both available and if we sell Knockaert for £15mill then the deal would be cash-neutral.

I know we have loads of time but I'd really have liked to get a proper striker in by now to replace Glenn.

Know where you're coming from but the mind boggles how much it'll cost to find a 29 goals in 2 PL seasons striker who's great in the air, hard, able to win countless fouls and with fab feet (for a big man). He really is (and has been) an amazing footballer for this club.

We have that already in Popper and Stephens why waste money on more? We would be better off adding one to those two to help them out and it seems like Alzate is the man being groomed for that role. So all resources towards a striker or RB.

Can't be bothered to start new thread.
19 year old striker, probably straight to development squad.

Regular for Anderlecht - no way would that be a signing for the U23's

I don't think you will 'replace' Glenn, he will still have a big part to play this coming season, l feel certain of that.

From the wing. How many has Solly scored? This kid is only 19 as well

2 in 41 games is less than Locadia who is constantly slated.

Why oh why oh why?
11 in 163 appearances, which is a better strike rate...

Harry Wilson?
Why? Because all last season most of the time we were overrun in midfield, and our midfield provided pitifully few chances for our strikers and rarely got up into the danger zone to help them. You wouldn't get many goals from Aguero with the sort of help our midfield were providing last season. CM is our overwhelming priority.
