Fermin Lopez, Xavi Simmons or keep Nkunku?
Garnacho or keep Tyrique George?
Hincapie or Josh?

Just some of the discussions the sporting directors and Maresca will be having.

Jackson, George and Nkunku are all training with the main group and it will be a seamless move back into the fold if they don't get their desired moves away.

Disasi is off to Bournemouth and loans will likely be found for Datro Fofana and Alfie Gilchrist which just leaves Sterling and Chilly.

I would keep all of Josh, George, Nkunku and Jackson.

It's late in the window and any players we might get will have to have a settling in period.

Our players on rhe other hand know the club and systems Maresca plays.

Would definately keep Josh,
Would keep Nkunku but he is off
Jackson would sell or keep but not a fan of a loan unless there is an obligation to buy
George wants to go and he will Garnacho not a fan of but he is clearly coming.

I think Hincape will be another Arsenal signing? Josh almost certain to stay unless sudden turnaround by club and a late CB purchase. But would imagine Josh would be a loan deal and still thin k that cos of Fofana and BB injury problems club - well amanger certainly - would want Josh to stay.

Garnacho almost certain to be another CFC signing whether we want/ need him or not. No doubt he has talent but yes we worry about attitude and whether we are making a mistake re George. Simons not as certain to be CFC signing as it seemed a week ago but still could be and Lopez may be a better bet if we are signing but one of them but can't claim to have watched either enough to be sure about respective talents of either,


Nkunku and George almost certain to go and Jackson very likely whethet via loan to Bayern or still a late straight purchase by Newcastle if Isak to LFC goes through.

We don’t need Lopez. Simons or Garnacho. I would keep Josh although I don’t think CB is his natural position. Also keep George. However, I would sell Jackson and Nkunku: we probably need the money to balance our transfers as we won’t be making any meaningful money from the others who should go.

I can’t recall seeing Lopez. I guess I must of done.

I would appreciate your opinion Ed or anyone else?

{Ed001's Note - I have only seen a little of him, but he does look a very good player.}
