tanaka could well be too lightweight. got knocked off the ball easily at times in the championship, and the prems more physical

Yes good point.
Probably another 70 million to spend yet and maybe recoup some of that on Meslier, Struijk, Harrison and Bamford to the tune of circa 40 mill or thereabouts.
Not sure Byram offers a right lot tbh as he was too slow for the Championship imo.

Thing is though mate, he was asked to do a lot in the 6 role as Ampadu was at CB because of Pascals injury.. that wore him down after a bit.. thought he came back into form well for last 5 games or so. In PL he'd have someone else to do that physical work, i think he can be a bit of a playmaker in PL given right players around him. I hope so anyway as the lad looked far too good for the Champo last season, he looked a class above for most of it.   

Thing is with Byram, he ticks homegrown box for PL rules (need 8 in the squad) and he won't be on much. He gives defensive cover if injuries strike and he'll do a solid job. He's got prem exp too. I'm ok with it. 

he was poor last year byram. he won't get better. dreading an injury to the full backs
