This is an interesting one alright.
Fornals has AM written all over him, but that really wasn't what any of us saw as a priority.
Do H and P see him as a playmaker, sitting deep alongside, or just in front of Rice? Or is he a straight up number 10?
Looking at his stats he does seem to have some form as an all-rounder. Last season he started on the left, right and centrally, but more often than not he was employed in a more advanced number 10 role.
So, he could be a replacement for Lanzini, or Noble. Or maybe Pellegrini is planning on playing 433 next season?

Ideally Pellegrini would want one holding in Rice and 6 offensive players.

Has to be.
Pellegrini plays TWO DM’s when he has 2 available and Sanchez is too slow , Noble & Snodgrass not good enough (in that particular role) .
So I expect Cueller , a striker a loan or 2 and a South American punt.
Expecting and getting is not a West Ham mantra. It'll be Issac Hayden, not that he would be the worst signing in the world to be fair, he had a decent season for toon this year.
Who the fuck is General Failure and why is he reading my harddisk?

What bothers me more than something that happened a year back is the fact that the last 50 games played, he hasn,t picked up one single card. How rare is that for a midfield player?

Can play either wing, possible replacement for Antonio?

Don't see him playing centre mid if, and yes its an if, Wilshire is fit

Hmm hope he’s not a bit light on his loafers.

He can play left and right, but a winger he isn't.
If Antonio goes Brahimi is a shoo in.
I think Pellegrini is hunting for West Ham's Riquelme.
