Age is largely irrelevant, IMO.

In the case of Grealish you can knock a year or so off for time lost to injury, something that will have impacted his development.

My point was more that these players all looked the business, and didnt need to be elevated by having better players around them.

Not saying they were all the finished article or anything like it, but all displayed they had the quality.

If we need to sell first, who do you think wants to go?

Eriksen?

Eriksen?

Kane, Dele?

"Wants" to go? Id suggest Dembele, Janssen, Alderweireld would be happy to leave. Nkoudou, Llorente probably very open to the idea if something comes up.

"Free" to go? I think we would listen to offers on all of the above, Sissoko, probably Wanyama,Vorm, Rose, Onomah and possibly Tippier/Aurier.

Of course, the real question is who even would generate interest?

Janssen and Nkoudou might miss the catering

Lloris, Alli?

Haha, it's a cruel joke but one that, until Eriksen puts pen to paper on a longer contract like the others, is a bit close to the bone given his current contract length...

A key figure under Lopetegui, Isco now finds himself without a place under Solari. The Spain international playmaker has managed just 51 minutes during Solari's four games in charge and was an unused substitute in the 4-2 win over Celta Vigo at the weekend. With that, the 26-year-old will listen to offers come January.

As an Eriksen replacement, maybe, but otherwise I dont see how he would fit!

 

[StephenH]

I'd rather take a punt on Grealish than Isco.

 

[nayimfromthehalfwayline]

I wouldnt! Grealish might step up and be good, might not. We know Isco will do the business.

Won't happen, wages!

 

[nayimfromthehalfwayline]

Thats a bit different to what you would prefer, isnt it?

 

[metalgear]

greasy grealish is what we need when the doing gets tough.
poch has a way with young players - i trust him

 

[r-u-s-x]

Isco or Grealish -

Did you also fancy Chris Armstrong over Dennis Bergkamp in summer 1995?

No - my rules.

you are being silly.

And fees, for both. Isco is probably in the £80m bracket now; Grealish maybe £40m with his new contract

There's no way we'll spend that on either, especially when neither can solve our Dembele and Wanyama problems
