We need to do this after January window if we’re a serious club. Get in Laimer and Diaby six months early because we need a midfield surgery in the summer. Laimer has six months left of his contract and we could get him for 15 to 20m or a straight swab with Naby plus 5 to 10m on top.
Diaby is different because if Bayer Leverkusen finish 4th in their UCL group, they’ll probably be willing to sell because they are a selling club after all for 45 to 60m pounds. He would be the Firmino replacement as well because Firmino is out of contract in the summer. So in the next season hopefully our attack would be Jota/Nunez at #9 and then Salah, Diaz as our to main wingers with Diaby as cover for them and Carvalho can cover Diaz at LW in the Cups and other dead rubber games as well as #10/LCM.

I know I’m hoping at this point, but it’s the best thing we can hope for if we’re to salvage anything out of this season ie top 4, a cup, or hopefully a deep UCL run or win.
