Someone like N'Golo?

Who? How much will he cost? Will he want to play for a team fighting relegation?

Perhaps I shouldn't, but I can't help thinking that James Morrison from WBA might fit this bill.

They're above us in the league. why step down?

It was meant as an answer to Lako's "we really need a midfielder who already understands the league and can come in without a long 'settling in' period.". I agree with that to an extent, but I can't remember Kante needing a long settling in period to understand the league. So the point was that if the the right player comes along, he doesn't necessarily need to already understand the league, not that we should dream of getting Kante back.

Would be nice, but will he leave a high flying Sevilla for a relegation battle?

Perhaps not. Which is why we should have done whatever it took to get him in the summer.

We tried. He didn't want to come then either.

Leicester City have made a £15.5m offer for Genk's 19-year-old Nigeria midfielder Wilfred Ndidi. (Het Laatste Nieuws in Flemish)

I'd like to see us sign Gylfi Sigurdsson. I think I'm right in saying we've been linked with him before, but I think we lack someone creative in central midfield and he offers real quality at set pieces. He's proven in the Premier League and would offer us something different going forward to what we have already got.
I know this isn't a rumour, but I couldn't think where else to put this. So there.

Sigurdsson and Drinkwater in his break-everything-up role would be a joy. If Swansea really start looking like they're down, we'd be smart to start talking to them.

I'd be pretty happy with Sigurdsson too and he's a realistic target. Always comes across as quite a combative midfielder too.
