Ed2,

A few weeks ago you mentioned that signing Bissouma might be difficult/ unlikely (I think) . Would you say that Sanches is the more likely transfer currently?

Also, I think i remember you saying that Otavio wouldn't necessarily be a cm target. Is he looked at as the same sort of player as Raphinha? Do you know which of these players Klopp is more keen on?

Sorry for the long post and thanks in advance.

{Ed002's Note - Otavio is an AM rather than a RW like Raphinha. It would depend on what is planned for Keita and perhaps AOC and to some extent what happens with Thiago. Bissouma would be the pick as he is versatile and offers more than Sanches who runs hot and cold for many. But Sanches is cheap.}

Thanks for the detailed reply Ed. With regards to Thiago do you mean what is planned tactically? The club aren't looking at selling him are they?

{Ed002's Note - Right, how will he be used - it has been tough and go so far.}

Spot on, ED02. I prefer Bissouma as well BUT it seems like he could be off to Arsenal by some accounts. I really hope we get either him or Neuhaus even tho, Neuhaus may stay at Gladbach for one more season.
