Agreed with Zeta. Pick up Lemar and keep one of Pedro or Willian, whichever we can sell in the same window. Musonda needs more experience with a loan to a physical league. He needs to work on his strength and that will come with time. He should follow AC’s path to the first team instead of rotting on the bench and venting on Instagram. Even though there is a high price tag Lemar has high potential especially for his age. I’d say what he has over Musonda is his frame and experience. Would also show Hazard we have ambition. We still need a LWB and arguably another CM given all the injuries plus dips in form. A cheap option for CM could be a RLC recall, but I’d rather he continue gaining caps in the PL.

When will he be available for selection?

Do y'all think Leon Goretzka, Alexis Sanchez, and Faouzi Ghoulam could be serious targets of the board? All of which I believe are at the end of their contract. Understandable, Ghoulam is out injured, so he couldn't immediately make an impact, but potentially Baba could deputize till the end of the season. Goretzka could replace an aging Fabregas, although that would likely push out Loftus Cheek. Alexis would add a real threat on the right and we could get two or three good years from him, although I'd be worried about his impact to the dressing room. Either way all of these we could potentially get for a cut price, albeit higher wages. What say you?

Clearly a talent. I think Christensen's development path should be the new focus for our youth players that show high upside. Musonda should be loaned out so he can get quality playing time then come back once he's progressed. I'm sure there is a team willing to take him for a two year spell and give him CL experience.

Rumor for Ciro Immobile. If we played with two strikers, I'm just not sure how we'd fit Hazard in. I guess have him free to roam with Baka and Kante behind. Do y'all see that system being successful?

Are there any legitimate January transfers linked to us? Ross Barkley would be an underwhelming signing to say the least.

I think he needs to work on his distribution and command. Once he progresses in those areas, I could see him becoming a top 3 keeper. He's still young, I wouldn't be upset if we could lock in his extension. World class keepers are hard to come by and any replacement would not have the same blend of youth and experience, which I think is a step back for us.

I'm excited for him. He can come on to close out a match. If our midfield was healthy, we could have actual squad rotation and give Conte tactical options. Based on RLC's progression I wouldn't mind having him in the squad, if we don't buy a world class midfielder, which isn't likely.

Does anyone know when he will be available?
