Id be happy with a cm or 2
But i can't see it. Interest in casemiro seems to have waned, lindelof is injured and I've not read/ heard of even the slightest interest in erikson
But fingers crossed something happens.

I'm happy with what we've done right now before Ugarte is confirmed.
When he's confirmed I'll be ecstatic with the summer business.
If by some miracle we sign anyone else (who isn't a Chelsea reject) I'll be utterly, deliriously over the moon.

I hope casemiro stays.
Too late for a replacement.
We need a squad, and case, ugarte and mainoo would take 2 berths.
Eriksen has some interest from Ajax, read it somewhere.
Lindelof, Lazio are interested.
My dream end to the window would be
Eriksen, Lindelof and Sancho being moved on.
With a LB, and a poacher type last 20 mins striker coming in (I like ben yedder, scores goals wherever he goes)
{Ed077's Note - for me Casemiro would have been the first midfielder out, ideally. He's not worth having around for the wages he soaks up for the level of performances last season. If he stays, hopefully he can find the form from his debut campaign for us again}

Ed077,
Hopefully with the arrival of Ugarte, Casemiro will play better. I do think he missed having Fred alongside him.
{Ed077's Note - Bollocks he will, he shouldn't get on the pitch if he plays the same as last season. I don't see many games where they can play together. Unless we play park the bus, hack the opponents football and Mainoo is given a permanent seat in the bench ?.
I don't care what anyone else says but @350k plus a week, Casemiro is not worth having around. I don't get why soany of you hated McTominay when he is a much better option overall as a squad player.
Coming into this window the order of midfielders I wanted sold/let go by the club was:
Casemiro, Eriksen, McT.
I guess not having much demand for Case and even Eriksen only strengthens my point about them not being good enough at the wages they get paid.
