Even if Gbamin turns out to be the destructive force
Idryssa Gueye left from us in 2019,
we'll still need both Doucoure and another player
who doesn't need telling:
"Win the [this-and-that] ball back if they've got it off us.".
This may as well have been rocket science
to our professionals last season.
The one tradeable player that represents a reasonable valuation above £15m
remains Theo Walcott.
Although I still like him,
the temptation to make a multi-club trade
with Theo joining up
with fellow ex-England internatinoal Andros Townsend
at Crystal Palace,
so that the sale of Wilfired Zaha
can fund an upgrade on Palace's strikers Jordan Ayew/Christien Benteke
really would make the task
of bringing James Rodriguez,
Allan
and Abdoulaye Doucoure
all in this window
so much easier.
