For Banter who would be the one realistic attainable player you would want to see the club sign this summer? For me it would be William Carvalho from sporting lisbon as I think we need an out an out defensive midfielder. I'm guessing Eds choice would be Medel no doubt lol.
{Ed001's Note - no, I think we need more energy, a Kante-type, to provide something different. Not sure about Carvalho, I have seen him have some stinkers and look really slow and sluggish, then the next game look a pacey powerhouse. Tielemans I would love but not sure he is realistic. I would be very happy with Sessegnon from Fulham.}

Just the games I watched of him ed I thought he was Class and thought he would be great in the prem maybe I didn't watch enough. Not many Kante-type players around ed can you think of any? Tielemans great shout not sure if we could get him though. You seem to really rate sessegnon I won't lie I am still a bit unconvinced that we should have a 16 year old playing week in week out as first choice. From the games I've seen he looks very good especially attacking and works very hard.

{Ed001's Note - I don't know, like I said he sometimes looks great, then another time terrible. I have not watched enough of him to really get to know his game and see what Carvalho is like.
Gueye, Obiang, Ndidi and Mendy are Kante-type, Nzonzi too, though none are the same level as Kante, who is a class apart.
If your only issue is his age, then I would say that should tell you Sessegnon is fine. If you are picking apart his game, then you would worry.}

ED 01 you've mentioned a few times recently you'd be happy if we got sessegnon do you believe we could get him.
{Ed001's Note - yes, unless they win promotion. In which case I would say it is better for the lad to stay another season, and I would expect his advisors to tell him that.}

thanks for the speedy reply.
{Ed001's Note - welcome.}

I know Keita isn't Kante type whatsoever, but he does provide energy, fight and bursting forward runs. From the little I've seen of him I think he would provide something different.
{Ed001's Note - I can see how he would be useful, I certainly wouldn't mind us signing him from what I have seen.}

I would probably have to say Ben Gibson, has shown he's a top left footed centre back with real leadership qualities. however the transfer fee would probably be astronomically high and I expect him to go elsewhere : (.

I think we are in dire need of a player who will not accept a dropping of standards regardless of whom we play. So Gibson could fit the bill.
From everything I have heard (as I don't watch Ligue1), Bakayoko from Monaco would be the best thing going around to give us energy and drive in the midfield. Sadly Ed002 has him likely going to ManU.
