Big test ahead for Silva and Brands in replacing Gana, would definitely be in most fans starting 11 when available.
I actually feel quite assured that they have thought everything through and we will see movement, I know some fans are abit unhappy about the lack of signings especially with other teams strengthening, and our out goings but it's about getting the right players and I'm sure Brands won't be forced into buying someone for the sake of it. Stay positive blues.
{Ed002's Note - There seems to be one clear option left from the original potential targets I was aware of:
Adrien Tameze (DM) First choice Gueye replacement
Kaio Pantaleao (DM) Benfica player liked by Everton apparently - but would not get a WP and headed off to Krasnodor.
Abdoulaye Doucoure (DM/CM) - if Gueye moves Everton may look to him as an option again, but Watford don't want to sell and he will not have any interest in the move as he wants CL football.
Thiago Mendes (DM) was an option as a Gueye replacement but has moved elsewhere
Santiago Sosa (DM) I am aware of the suggestion that a deal has been agreed but it would take significant money in fee and/or wages to ensure a WP and Tameze is a far more obvious option to replace Gueye.
Lucas Tousart (DM) an enquiry about his availability was laughed off by Fodil.
In my view Sander Berge (DM/CM) would be the best option if he could be persuaded to make the move.}

Cheers Ed great info.

Seen a few suggestions about Ibrahim Sangare, is there any interest in him we?
{Ed002's Note - Sangare has made it clear he is happy and he wants to learn more and when he moves he wants to play in Champions League football. A Worlk Permit might be difficult.}

Ed great insight into who could be a possible replacement for gueye there is a young Toulouse player i think could be worth having a look at Ibrahim sangare only 21 I think but looks like a good talent do you know if we have any interest in him and what do you think if him.
{Ed002's Note - He is well thought of but more one for a year or two in the future.}

That's why I'm not worried GB I think everything is at hand.

I read that Jean-Philippe Gbamin is in the mix. Any one hear anything else about that?
