I have a question for people moaning about us wanting N'Zonzi.
When you see how slow our midfield is and you see how bad Schneiderlin and McCarthy are and how Besic is basically finished as a footballer due to injury. Do people really think we don't need him? A midfielder who can carry the ball at a pace quicker than a tortoises dads favourite oak tree? That can turn quicker than the titanic unlike our current central midfielders.
People can moan about Tom Davies all they want but at least he tries to go forward.
I'd take N'Zonzi all day, better than what we have by a long way.

Agreed totally Swan. Plus he is good for set pieces and to throw up front with 10 mins to go if you are a goal down like yesterday.

The question is exactly that. Would he improve our starting 11? Considering Schneiderlin gets in just about every starting 11, then yes, he would.

I genuinely don't know how Schneiderlin is getting in the team. He offers absolutely zilch going forwards. Plays square passes continuously and slides in on his arse most of the time doing a similar job to Gueye on occasion. But then he often gives the ball away or slows things down so much we break out as slow as the queue in the Jobcentre. I would say Davies offers so much more. Klaasen must be totally miffed and we are looking at Nzonzi? Why did we sign Shneids and Klaasen? Over 60 million?

I'd sell him, he doesn't get in before Gana and Baningime for me. Bring Klassen on to give him some game time, I think/ Hope he'll come good.
Schneids is only limiting Davies and Baningimes game time and doesn't want to go forwards.

agreed smit666.

One thing everyone agrees on is that Schneiderlin is crap. We need midfielders who drive forward with the ball. Davies is the only one who dribbles forward from the midfield. I reckon we could recoup 20m for Schneids in the current market so get rid.

Moyes would pay 30mill for him.

Striker and a left back is priority for me. I'd also clear out Snids, Barkley, Besic and McCarthy before bringing anyone else in for that position.
It's not that I don't like the lad Nzonzi but at 29 and the money between 25 to 32 mil being talked about is he the best we can Get?
Again he wasn't great the 1sf time he was here and he seems better suited to a slower league. Not knocking though if he comes give him our support.
