So with 3 weeks until the end of the transfer window and 4 days until our 1st match in the league! We have some strengthening to do.

As far as im aware, this is who we have been linked to:

Defence:-

Toijan
Sandro
Van Dijk
Sanches
Aurier
Sidibe

Midfield:-

Drinkwater
Oxlade-chamberlain
Barkley
Sanches
Candreva

Forward:-

Young forward?


With the transfer deadline approaching it is unrealistic to me to expect numerous signings. I think buying Van Dike and loaning Christensen to Inter makes sense for all parties involved.
We get a proven CB to provide competition for Cahill, this also give Moses competition from Rudiger and Dave.

With the loan of Christensen to Inter this would hopefully sweeten the deal for them to sell us Candreva which provides much needed winger depth.

Lastly I would like to see us move for Ross Barkley, always been intrigued about his potential but it is exactly that. With some positional help and work rate I think he could become a top box to box midfielder.

Just my thoughts on the matter, I do also hope the small squad gives players like Boga and Musonda a chance as I have always been big fans.

We haven't been linked to Toljan or Sidibe yet but I would take either of those as they are improvements on what we have.

Christensen is as much proven as VVD, just in Bundesliga and not in PL. And guess what, Bundesliga is a very good league. I don't buy the PL proven nonsense. Only thing that matters is whether players can adapt culturally, but with Christensen having already spent a couple of years in England he should be fine.
Christensen has also played in CL already, and against quality opposition, so he's actually pretty proven for a 21 year old.

Rudiger cover for Moses? Wtf.

Rudiger has played a lot of his career as a right wingback and centre back, a 10 second google search will verify that!

Ed002 also mentioned that Conte targeted Rudiger as a RB who could cover CB rather than the other way round and instead of the media linked Danilo.
