Loved him when he was here, probably shouldn't have been sold, but not the right choice for us now.

Otherwise sure, I think I said earlier in the thread I'd take Lukaku back when there were some mild rumours around him.

Seeing as I think Grealish could well be here next year, I'd just be worried about a combo of Digne and Grealish as that feels a little lacking in pace.

Objectively though he’s much better than Mykolenko even at his age and every signing doesn’t have to be a ‘young promising talent’. Some experienced older players are essential. The finances probably don’t work also though.

He's 29 in a few weeks' time, and he'd be expecting to start every game - maybe he'll bloom in his later years like Modric?
