Due to the subject matter it's very understandable why the FA want to be seen to be making sure they are completely accurate within whichever decision they are hedging towards and especially if they are going to go against Holgate's version of the incident.

Ok, add in £1m for every goal he scores between now and the end of the season maxing out at £5m.

Absolutely.

There was disagreement about what Luis said. Anyone who has watched the footage and knows the language has said Firmino didn't use any racist comments.

I hate the transfer window and at the same time love it. Horrible time within the season.

Agree with Bogman, if the media thought there was any possibility of it being true they would be all over it like a rash. I expect they are looking to make doubly sure before they say about Firmino being cleared of any wrong doing. Then they can hopefully slap the nasty Toffee bugger.

If said keeper has a buy out clause that is worth going to then I'm not so sure.

Really not surprised if true, it has looked like the expected outcome for quite a while now.

Arsenal and ourselves were both linked in the summer, from that point onwards it was being reported that Lemar was more interested in signing for ourselves rather than Arsenal. More of the same reports are doing the rounds. I think we definitely are interested in getting him in.

Pull the finger out and get him signed!

No matter which keepers we have bought recently there has been one consistent...........the coach........literally all of the keepers standards have gone backwards while here I feel, if it was an individual keeper then ok fine but when it has basically been nearly all of them then surely that is down to the coaching . Really wish we would look to replace him.

There are incredibly few clubs who can compete with Barca and Real Madrid, the draw for players if they come calling seems to be always too much to withstand.

This seasons stats show, nearly half of his games are LM, but his best returns have been from AMC

Time to get busy.......Lemar & Mahrez

Next step in the process.

Has there been any recent, genuine links to Mahrez or is he a possible name just being discussed amongst ourselves?

Bye bye Coutinho, it's all down to the nitty gritty now. Approximately £140m, how much up front and how quickly can we get the remainder out of Barca.

Mahrez playing on the counter attack is a very good player, excellent pace, technique and eye for goal. He could very easily play on the right side of our attacking three. I personally don't think we will go for him as we already have Salah and Mane competing for that starting role.

No matter who the quality player, things move on and change. It's literally never, viable to go out and buy a straight replacement. Usually the dynamics of the team change a bit, we have just bought a quality CB who will hopefully strengthen us there and reduce the number of goals we concede. If he stays great, if he goes, so be it, make sure to screw Barca to the wall, I trust JK's judgement in who he wants to bring in at that stage.

Attacking midfielders.... Balde Pereira Pulisic Mor Martins(Gelson) Central midfielders.... Tielemans Asensio Personally I'd look to get Sanchez out of Arsenal if possible, he would be an excellent attacker who knows the league, plays in the energetic style required and has excellent pace. Older but if we did get Lemar as well then that would allow Lemar to settle in.

Great stamina, good technique, works hard. Really pleased with what he has shown so far, really good player, great addition to our improving squad.

If we are looking for younger central midfielders, I think Weigl or Dendoncker would be very good alternatives.

Can out ......... Goretzka in, I wouldn't have any issues with that swap.

Isn't it something like £60 m or £70 m?

Goretzka looks like a really good central midfielder, tackles cleanly, changes defence into attack quickly, scores a few goals, he has a lovely long diagonal cross field pass, nearly Alonso-esque. The fact that he is available for a free in the summer makes him very get able. Can out ........ Goretzka in ? I think other clubs are going to start saying ..... f*** off FSG!
