How does Iniesta replacement even work? We have lots of Iniesta replacements already (Gomes, Denis, Roberto etc.). I know none of them are even 10% of Iniesta but my point is what we need is a Xavi replacement.

We need two midfielders and a right back IMO. One of the midfielders should be able to play on the wings when needed.

Thomas Lemar would be the perfect Iniesta replacement. We could afford him pretty easily.

Isn't he operating on the other side of the pitch? In Rakitic position? And isn't he more of a box to box mid/winger? Keep in mind i don't know him very well. Just what i've heard about him here or there.

Also would Monaco be willing to part ways with so many players? Silva is already gone, Mendy and Fabinho are also on the move. They'll be left with a very thin squad.

He is nothing like Iniesta, not even similar. Lemar is totally different type of player. He is more LW than LM and he never plays as CM player. He is also more about the pace than control.

I agree Coutinho is similar but Bernardo Silva was even closer and we didn't even try...

We don't know. If such deals fail in an early phase clubs keep it secret. It's kind of an embarrassment for proud clubs if a player turns down your offer and joins another club. Look how United played down their Griezmann interest after Atlétis ban was upheld.

Maybe we did try but he chose City because or probably more playing time and Pep.

He's very similar. Here is even an article about Lemar's role model being Iniesta:

http://www.espnfc.us/blog/espn-fc-u...-lemar-looking-to-emulate-idol-andres-iniesta

"Lemar's role model has always been Andres Iniesta, and it shows. While his dribbling skills are superb, he is not obsessed with taking on defenders, but rather puts emphasis on team play. Like the Barcelona genius, Lemar is able to create space for himself and his teammates, and seems to have more time on the ball than other midfielders. Indeed, he is more responsible than anyone for the Monaco's eye-pleasing fluid style."

If they don't get Hazard or Dybala, Madrid will try to sign him too next summer. For sure.

Honestly It would be superb if we could sign this guy. He could become world class in very short time. I am afraid he will be much more expensive next year.
On the other side if Dortmund doesn't want to sell him this year there is little we can do, only if he forces his way out.

he will be expensive to buy this year. according to Mundo Deportivo Dortmund would not sell for him for less than £89million.

dont know too much about him but his short career and stats dont exactly light the world on fire tk warrant that kind of price tag. I understand inflation but is this hype?

That's obviously too much, but this kid is special. Really, really special.
