The BBC have done a good article on how the club could potentially replace TAA. they end the article by assessing three players they think could be brought in.
I personally haven't heard of any of the three, so would be keen to get thoughts of others. The three were Guela Doue (Strasbourg), Anton Gaaei (Ajax) and Martim Fernandes (Porto) . Anybody know much about either of these?

Nope no idea lol.

Ooh. Interesting. Anton Gaaei is my new favourite choice. Some of his crossing and passing looks unreal and that's what we need.

Whoever they are, they will be rotating with the excellent Connor B, who is world class on his day, as we have seen on multiple ocassions.
{Ed025's Note - "world class on his day" Johnny???, half decent at his best i would say mate and still has a hell of a lot to learn, potential certainly but i do love the way you reds fans consider your players as superstars if they have made a good tackle or completed a 10 yard pass mate....unbelievable jeff.. :)

It’s impossible to replace Trent. He’s a one off.

Morning Ed025, Happy Good Friday! I'm with you, mate.
{Ed025's Note - Morning Rome, CB looks like a decent kid to me mate and may well be the answer to the RB spot, but lets not get ahead of ourselves here he is a young guy who is learning his trade...and not "world class" just yet i feel.. :)

Does anyone know what most Strasbourg, Ajax and Porto fans are saying about them?

Exactly the type of RB we should be targeting if Trent leaves, which I'm still in the camp of he won't leave. Cheap transfer fee and wages for a rotation option with Bradley as he is the future 1st choice RB imo. We don't need a frimpong, who I think is pants to stop his progress.

They're probably saying they're world class, JK, and slagging off their Sporting Directors for not tieing them down to new deals.

The lad we were linked with at Feyenoord Givairo Read can't half ping a ball aswell.

Interesting comments from Arne in his press conference. Among other things he seemed to suggest Trent’s future isn’t sorted. I’d take that as a positive as I’d assumed like most people his future was decided, and it must be elsewhere otherwise it would have been announced.

Not sure about the Strasbourg or Ajax ones, but I like the look of Martim Fernandes at Porto. A really good passer, can invert into midfield or go wide and use his left foot too. The sample size is really small but the nerds were impressed with his numbers.
Julian Ward has a good relationship with Porto.
Givairo Read looks really promising too. Very quick and direct. He marked Rafael Leao out of the game they had with AC Milan. Not sure about his ability to invert or if Slot wants that profile.
The two Brasilians, Vanderson and Wesley might also be on the radar.
