With the World Cup been mid season a lot of the players will still be under contract. A good pointer as to the value of the player in a team in this 5 subs competition is to see how much game time they get in the 3 group games. Interestingly apart from the central defenders Bellingham has played the most game time for England - now he would be a perfect partner for Doucoure!! Before the Iran game I quite liked the look of there number 9. Culturally not sure how he would fit.

I said it before he scored a couple of goals. I then said he was put out of our price range. I suspected this would be the case now.

Red and Blue Army!

Man of the match by a country mile, made most Prem CB's seem like Sunday League players & has only just come back from an ACL, has played 4 games this season, 3 in WC.

This operation, will make the 'Charge Of The Light Brigade' seem like a simple military exercise.

My guess on current price would be 10-15mil. So not cheap but we do need another centre back. I've been surprised by the amount of games Guehi and Andersen have been able to play. Total guess at price - going up I guess.

Red and Blue Army!

Kang-in Lee. (suggestion) SK int'l on Mallorcas books with a release ~£16m. Newcastle/Hammers interest.

SK Yonhap news wire:

Decision time approaches for S. Korea on sparkplug midfielder
DOHA -- Putting his creativity and dazzling skills on full display at the FIFA World Cup, midfielder Lee Kang-in has been South Korea's most dangerous weapon off the bench so far in Qatar.

Left footed attacking mid assist man and as with most on the SK squad - a highly intelligent footballer capable of seeing the game.

IMO he might slot in smartly a step in front of the decoure/anderson/guehi defensive triangle bringing significant organisation to the turn of play.
