1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to an organic light emitting display device, and more particularly, to a device for driving pixels of an organic light emitting display device and a method of fabricating the same.
2. Description of the Related Art
Cathode ray tube (CRT) devices have been widely used for various kinds of image display devices. Recently, liquid crystal display (LCD) devices have emerged as an alternative display means for, especially, portable equipments, computer monitors, etc. However, CRT devices are generally heavy and have a big size, and LCD devices also have some unsatisfactory factors such as mediocre brightness, low efficiency, etc. In addition, LCD devices have such a drawback that images may have poor views at the side of an LCD device.
Thus, there have been made various developments for an image display device, as a new generation display means, having a lighter weight, a slimmer size, an affordable price, better efficiency, etc. One of such new generation display devices is an organic light emitting display (OLED) device. The OLED devices utilize the electroluminescence characteristics of certain organic compounds or high polymers, which emit light in response to electric current applied thereto. In the OLED devices, no backlight device is necessary for providing light to a display panel, which is required for the LCD devices. Thus, the OLED devices advantageously have a lighter weight, a smaller (and slimmer) size, a lower cost, etc. and are more readily fabricated compared with the LCD devices. In addition, the OLED devices may have superior brightness and a larger viewing angle.
FIG. 1 is a circuit diagram illustrating a conventional driving circuit for an OLED device, and FIG. 2 is a graphical view of signal waveforms applied to the driving circuit in FIG. 1. Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, the conventional driving circuit for an OLED device includes a switching transistor QS having a gate and a source connected to a gate line Gq and a data line Dp, respectively, a storage capacitor Cst having one terminal connected to a drain of the switching transistor QS and the other terminal connected to a bias voltage Vdd, and a driving transistor QD having a gate connected to the drain of the switching transistor QS and a source connected to the bias voltage Vdd.
A driving signal is provided from a drain of the driving transistor QD to an organic light emitting diode OLED. The organic light emitting diode OLED has one end connected to a drain of the driving transistor QD and the other end connected to a common electrode voltage VCOM. Generally, the switching transistor QS is an N-type thin film transistor that is turned on by applying a high-level voltage signal to its gate, and the driving transistor QD is a P-type thin film transistor that is turned-off when the high-level voltage signal is applied to its gate.
In the operation the driving circuit in FIG. 1, when the switching transistor QS is turned on by a gate signal provided through the gate line Gq, a data signal from the data line Dp is transferred through the conduction path of the switching transistor QS to the gate of the driving transistor QD as a gate voltage. The gate voltage is maintained for one frame due to the storage capacitor Cst. At this time, channel conductance of the driving transistor QD is determined by the gate voltage applied to the gate and the bias voltage applied to the source of the driving transistor QD. Also, the intensity of a voltage applied between the ends of the organic light emitting diode OLED is determined based on a voltage distribution of the organic light emitting diode OLED with respect to the voltage between the bias voltage Vdd and the common electrode voltage VCOM, where the organic light emitting diode OLED and the driving transistor QD are connected each other in series. The organic light emitting diode OLED emits light in response to current flowing therein, which is corresponding to the intensity of the voltage determined based on the voltage distribution.
Thus, even if the same data signal is applied to the gate of the driving transistor QD SO that the gate-source voltage VGS of the driving transistor QD has an identically value in different driving circuits for different pixels of the OLED device, the voltage distribution may vary depending on characteristics of the driving transistor QD in different pixels so that the intensity of the voltage between the ends of organic light emitting diode may vary as well. As a result, the current flowing the organic light emitting diode OLED may be different in different pixels of the OLED device. Such variation in the current flowing the organic light emitting diode OLED may cause deterioration in brightness of pixels and display quality of the OLED device.
Therefore, it is desired that the driving circuit of an OLED device is improved so that every organic light emitting diode in the respective pixels of the OLED device receives the same driving current in response to the same data signal so as to emit the same amount of light.

text: REAL PROTEINS FROM PSEUDOGENES. Researchers publish draft proteome maps. By Anette Breindl. Science Editor. Science Editor. Wednesday, May 28, 2014. Two separate draft catalogs of the human proteome have brought new insights into the relationship between genes and proteins, identifying both proteins that were transcribed from supposedly noncoding regions of the genome, and genes that never got turned into proteins even though they had all the bells and whistles that flag them as bona fide protein-coding genes. Scientifically, "It's telling us that we really don't know the rules of our own genome so well," Johns Hopkins University's Akhilesh Pandey told BioWorld Today. Pandey is the senior author of one of the two papers, which appeared back to back in the May 29, 2014, issue of Nature. Proteins are technically more challenging to study than genes. They are also more diverse.

Lesson: Introduction to Proteomics

**Objective:** To introduce students to the concept of proteomics and its applications in understanding the function of genes and proteins in the human body.

**Glossary:**
- Proteome: The complete set of proteins expressed by a genome, cell, tissue or organism.
- Pseudogene: A DNA sequence that was once part of a functional gene but has lost its function through mutation.
- Protein-coding gene: A gene that codes for a protein.
- Transcription: The process by which genetic information from a DNA molecule is copied into an RNA molecule.
- Translation: The process by which the genetic code carried by mRNA is translated into a sequence of amino acids to form a protein.

**Section 1: Introduction**
Proteomics is the study of proteins and their functions in living organisms. It involves the analysis of protein structures, interactions, and changes under various conditions. This field is important because proteins are the building blocks of cells and are responsible for many biological processes. In this lesson, we will learn about the history of proteomics, its applications, and the challenges associated with studying proteins.

**Section 2: The History of Proteomics**
The study of proteins dates back to the early 1900s when scientists first discovered the structure of proteins. However, it wasn't until the 1950s that advancements in technology allowed researchers to study proteins in more depth. The Human Genome Project, completed in 2003, provided a wealth of information about the genes in the human genome. This led to the development of proteomics, which focuses on understanding the function of these genes by studying the proteins they produce.

**Section 3: Applications of Proteomics**
Proteomics has many applications in fields such as medicine, agriculture, and biotechnology. Some of these applications include:

- Identifying proteins involved in diseases: By studying the proteins present in diseased tissues, researchers can identify potential targets for drug therapies.
- Developing new drugs: Proteomics can help identify new drug targets and predict how a drug will interact with the body.
- Understanding gene function: By studying the proteins produced by a gene, researchers can determine if the gene is functional or nonfunctional.
- Monitoring environmental changes: Proteomics can be used to monitor changes in the environment, such as the effects of pollution on living organisms.

**Section 4: Challenges in Studying Proteins**
Although proteomics has many applications, there are still many challenges associated with studying proteins. Some of these challenges include:

- Proteins are diverse: There are millions of different proteins in the human body, each with its own unique structure and function.
- Proteins are dynamic: Proteins can change shape and function depending on the cellular environment.
- Proteins are difficult to detect: Proteins are often present in small quantities, making them difficult to detect and analyze.

**Section 5: Conclusion**
In conclusion, proteomics is an exciting field that has the potential to revolutionize our understanding of the function of genes in the human body. By studying proteins and their interactions, we can gain valuable insights into the mechanisms behind many biological processes.

A local domain is a domain name that is associated with a specific geographic location or region. For example, if you own a business in Denmark, registering a .FI domain name would be considered a local domain.

Topic 2: Why are local domains important for SEO?
Local domains are important for SEO because they help search engines understand the relevance and location of your website. When someone searches for a product or service in a specific location, search engines use local domains to determine which websites are most relevant to that search. By having a local domain, your website is more likely to appear at the top of search engine results for local searches.

Topic 3: How do local domains affect SEO?
Local domains can positively affect SEO by improving your website's visibility and ranking for local searches. This is because search engines consider local domains as indicators of a website's relevance to a particular location. Additionally, local domains can also improve your website's credibility and trustworthiness in the eyes of search engines and users.

Lesson: How to Read and Understand Real Estate Listings
Introduction:
Real estate listings are a common way to find information about properties for sale or rent. However, they can be filled with technical jargon and legalese that can be difficult to understand. In this lesson, we will learn how to read and interpret real estate listings by breaking down the key components of a typical listing.
Section 1: Understanding the Basics
- Location: The location of the property is usually listed first in the description. This includes the street address, neighborhood, city, and state.
- Square Footage: The size of the property is often listed in square feet. This can help you determine if the property is too small or too large for your needs.
- Bedrooms and Bathrooms: These are two of the most important features of a property. Make sure to count the number of bedrooms and bathrooms to ensure they meet your needs.
- Price: The price of the property is usually listed at the top of the listing. Be sure to compare this price to similar properties in the area to ensure you are getting a good deal.

Lesson: Introduction to Basic Accounting Concepts

**Lesson Overview:** This lesson will introduce students to basic accounting concepts, including income, expenses, assets, liabilities, equity, and revenue. Students will learn how to record and analyze financial transactions and use accounting to make informed decisions.

**Section 1: Introduction to Accounting**

Accounting is the process of recording, summarizing, and interpreting financial transactions to understand a company's financial position. It involves tracking income, expenses, assets, liabilities, equity, and revenue.

**Section 2: Recording Financial Transactions**

To record financial transactions, we use a system called double-entry accounting. This means that every transaction has two sides: a debit side and a credit side. For example, if a company borrows money from a bank, the bank's account will be credited, and the company's account will be debited.

**Section 3: Analyzing Financial Statements**

Once we have recorded financial transactions, we can analyze them using financial statements such as the income statement, balance sheet, and cash flow statement. These statements help us understand how much money the company is making, what it owns, what it owes, and how much cash it has on hand.

**Section 4: Using Accounting to Make Informed Decisions**

By understanding accounting concepts, we can make informed decisions about our finances. For example, if we know how much money we are spending and how much we are earning, we can make choices to increase our income or decrease our expenses.

**Conclusion:** Accounting is an essential tool for understanding financial transactions and making informed decisions. By learning these basic accounting concepts, we can become more financially literate and make better choices for ourselves and our businesses.

**Glossary:**
- Income: Money earned by a person or company
- Expenses: Money spent by a person or company
- Assets: Things owned by a person or company
- Liabilities: Debts owed by a person or company
- Equity: The difference between assets and liabilities
- Revenue: Money received by a person or company

**Self-Debate Discussion:** How do you think accounting can benefit individuals and businesses?

Genomic changes identified by comparative genomic hybridisation in docetaxel-resistant breast cancer cell lines.
Docetaxel is one of the most effective chemotherapeutic agents in the treatment of breast cancer. Breast cancers can have an inherent or acquired resistance to docetaxel but the causes of this resistance remain unclear. In this study high-level, docetaxel-resistant human breast cancer cell lines (MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231) were created, and comparative genomic hybridisation was used to identify genomic regions associated with resistance to docetaxel. MCF-7 resistant cells showed an amplification of chromosomes 7q21.11-q22.1, 17q23-q24.3, 18, and deletion of chromosomes 6p, 10q11.2-qter and 12p. MDA-MB-231 resistant cells showed a gain of chromosomes 5p, 7q11.1-q35, 9, and loss of chromosomes 4, 8q24.1-qter, 10, 11q23.1-qter, 12q15-q24.31, 14q and 18. Whole chromosome paints confirmed these findings. Amplification of 7q21 and loss of 10q may represent a common mechanism of acquired docetaxel resistance in breast cancer cells. This study is the first description of a genomic approach specifically to identify genomic regions involved in resistance to docetaxel.

Lesson: Comparative Genomic Hybridisation (CGH)

Introduction:
Comparative genomic hybridisation (CGH) is a technique used to compare the DNA sequences of two different organisms or individuals. It is commonly used in genetic research to identify genes and genomic regions associated with specific traits or diseases. In this lesson, we will learn about CGH and its application in identifying genomic changes associated with docetaxel resistance in breast cancer cells.

Section 1: What is CGH?
CGH is a molecular cytogenetic technique that involves the comparison of DNA sequences between two different samples. It is based on the principle of hybridisation, where DNA fragments from two different sources are mixed together and allowed to form hybrids. The resulting hybrids are then analysed to determine which DNA sequences are present in each sample.

Section 2: How does CGH work?
CGH works by comparing the DNA sequences of two different samples, usually a normal control and a test sample. The DNA from the two samples is first isolated and labelled with different fluorescent dyes. These labelled DNAs are then mixed together and allowed to hybridise, forming hybrid molecules. After hybridisation, the hybrid molecules are separated based on their size using a technique called fluorescence in situ hybridisation (FISH). The separated hybrid molecules are then analysed using a fluorescence microscope, which measures the intensity of the fluorescent signals. The ratio of the intensities of the two fluorescent signals determines whether a particular DNA sequence is present in the test sample or not.

Section 3: Applying CGH to identify genomic changes in docetaxel-resistant breast cancer cells
In this study, high-level, docetaxel-resistant human breast cancer cell lines (MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231) were created. CGH was then used to identify genomic regions associated with resistance to docetaxel in these resistant cells. The results showed that the resistant MCF-7 cells had amplifications of chromosomes 7q21.11-q22.1, 17q23-q24.3, 18, and deletion of chromosomes 6p, 10q11.2-qter, and 12p. On the other hand, the resistant MDA-MB-231 cells showed a gain of chromosomes 5p, 7q11.1-q35, 9, and loss of chromosomes 4, 8q24.1-qter, 10, 11q23.1-qter, 12q15-q24.31, 14q, and 18.

Section 4: Conclusion
In this study, CGH was used to identify genomic changes associated with docetaxel resistance in breast cancer cells. The results showed that there were significant differences in the genomic changes between the two resistant cell lines, indicating that the mechanisms of resistance may be different for each cell line. This highlights the importance of using CGH and other molecular techniques to identify the specific genomic changes associated with drug resistance in cancer cells. Understanding these changes can help researchers develop more effective treatments and strategies to overcome drug resistance in breast cancer.

Lesson: Introduction to Offshore Oil Platforms

## Section 1: Theoretical Concepts
An offshore oil platform is a large structure that is built to withstand harsh ocean conditions and extract oil and gas from beneath the sea floor. These platforms are typically located in deep water, where traditional drilling methods are not feasible. They are designed to support the extraction, processing, and transportation of oil and gas.

## Section 2: Practical Examples
Offshore oil platforms come in many different shapes and sizes, but they all serve the same purpose - to extract oil and gas from beneath the sea floor. Some of the most common types of offshore platforms include fixed platforms, floating production systems, and tension leg platforms.

Fixed platforms are anchored to the sea floor and are designed to withstand the forces of the ocean. They are typically used in shallower waters, where the sea floor is stable enough to support the weight of the platform.

Floating production systems, on the other hand, are designed to float on the surface of the water. They are typically used in deeper waters, where the sea floor is not stable enough to support a fixed platform. These systems are equipped with specialized equipment that allows them to extract oil and gas from beneath the sea floor.

Tension leg platforms are similar to fixed platforms, but they are designed to withstand the forces of the ocean by using tension legs that are anchored to the sea floor. These platforms are typically used in deeper waters, where the sea floor is not stable enough to support a fixed platform.

## Section 3: Real-World Scenarios
Offshore oil platforms are a critical part of the oil and gas industry. They allow us to extract resources that would otherwise be impossible to reach. However, they also come with risks. In 1980, for example, an offshore oil platform in the North Sea collapsed, killing 167 people. This tragedy highlights the importance of safety in the offshore oil industry.

In conclusion, offshore oil platforms are a critical part of the oil and gas industry. They allow us to extract resources that would otherwise be impossible to reach. However, they also come with risks. It is important that workers on these platforms are trained in safety procedures and that all necessary precautions are taken to prevent accidents.

With exactly one year to go until Tokyo 2020 kicks off, here is a look at how ready the host city is for the Olympic Games.

Tickets

Tokyo 2020 organisers have used a staggered system to sell tickets, with first priority given to those within Japan before a secondary sale to people who live overseas.

Japanese residents were able to take part in a lottery system, with more than 7.5 million people registering. The first phase of ticket allocations were announced in June, with 3.2 million tickets sold.

Overseas tickets are sold via authorised sellers. People in Britain looking to purchase tickets must do so via the Team GB Live website.

Venues

The core focus of Olympic activity will take place in two zones in the heart of Tokyo. The Tokyo Bay zone features a number of new venues built entirely for these Olympics, largely on previously unused brownfield sites. The neighbouring Heritage Zone reuses old facilities previously used for the 1964 Tokyo Olympics. The Athletes’ Village sits at the point the two zones intersect.

The new 68,000-seater Olympic Stadium has been built on exactly the same footprint as the previous National Stadium, which was the focal point for the 1964 Games. The new venue is on track to be completed by this November, ahead of test events.

Unlike at the London 2012 Games, there is no centralised Olympic Park, with all venues sitting apart from each other.

As has been the case with previous Olympic host cities, a number of events will take place outside Tokyo, with cycling and surfing some distance away. Football matches will be held throughout Japan.

Of the 43 venues to be used at the Games, eight are new, 25 existing and 10 temporary. More than half the new venues are already complete, with only the aquatics centre construction due to run over into next year.

Transport

As Tokyo is already one of the busiest cities in the world, there is some concern about how an already strained transport system will cope with the addition of hundreds of thousands of people for the Olympics. The organisers’ answer is simple: ask local people to stop travelling at key times.

It may sound bizarre to other nations, but Tokyo 2020 organisers are hoping to tap into a strong national pride that exists in Japan, with the hope that people will do all they can for the Games to be a success.

Dedicated Games lanes are unlikely to be employed in the city, although that is yet to be confirmed. Instead, organisers will ask people to avoid driving at rush hours and businesses to conduct deliveries at night. They claim a 15 per cent reduction in traffic is all they require to achieve a smooth road transport network. Organisers expect spectators to use the city’s extensive rail network to get around.

A seven-week test period has been implemented from July 22 to September 6 this year with more than half a million people being asked to work from home as a trial scheme to see how it affects transport congestion.

Public support

Support for Tokyo 2020 seems to be strong if judged purely by the numbers of people who have applied to play a role or attend the Games.

More than 200,000 people applied to fill the 110,000 volunteer places at the Olympics and Paralympics, while ticket applications were so oversubscribed that the deadline had to be extended by 12 hours due to such a high volume of traffic on the website.

The mere fact that organisers believe they need only to ask people not to use their cars rather than provide any other incentive also suggests the local population is broadly happy with playing host.

As often happens with hosting major events, the overspend has gone into the many billions, which has lessened mass support across the country. There have also been reports of violations of human rights among workers at some of the new venues being built.

Innovations

With Japan’s status as one of the world’s leading electronics innovators, Tokyo 2020 will feature a number of innovative elements, many of which are yet to be announced. Robotics will be used extensively - futuristic-looking electric golf carts will transport people around venues and facial recognition will be used for media and workers.

There have been major concerns about the heat after temperatures of 41 degrees last summer resulted in the death of almost 100 people. To mitigate another heat wave the marathons will begin at 6am and the entire route has been painted with a special substance, which organisers claim reduces the road surface temperature and therefore air temperature immediately above it by up to eight degrees.

There has been great emphasis placed on sustainability, with more than six million old mobile phones and other small electronic devices collected around Japan from which the 5,000 Olympic and Paralympic medals will be produced.

The podiums will also be made from recycled waste, with organisers asking Japanese people to donate their plastic waste.

Lesson: Introduction to Finance and Accounting

## Section 1: Understanding Finance and Accounting

Finance and accounting are two important subjects in business and personal life. Finance deals with the management of money, including budgeting, saving, investing, and managing debt. Accounting, on the other hand, is the process of recording, summarizing, and interpreting financial transactions to provide valuable insights into a business's performance.

## Section 2: Basic Concepts in Finance and Accounting

In finance, there are several basic concepts that you should understand. These include:

- Cash Flow: This refers to the money moving in and out of your business or personal accounts. It is essential to track cash flow to ensure that you have enough money to cover your expenses and investments.

- Assets: Assets are resources owned by a business or individual that have value. Examples of assets include cash, inventory, equipment, and property.

- Liabilities: Liabilities are obligations that a business or individual owes to others. Examples of liabilities include loans, accounts payable, and mortgages.

- Equity: Equity is the difference between assets and liabilities. It represents the amount of money that would be left over if all assets were liquidated, and all debts were paid off.

In accounting, there are several basic concepts that you should understand. These include:

- Debit and Credit: Debit refers to an entry on the left side of a ledger, while credit refers to an entry on the right side. These terms are used to record financial transactions.

- Revenue: Revenue is the income generated from selling products or services.

- Expenses: Expenses are the costs associated with running a business, such as rent, utilities, and salaries.

- Profit: Profit is the amount of money left over after all expenses have been paid.

## Section 3: Practical Applications of Finance and Accounting

Understanding finance and accounting can help you make informed decisions about your money. Here are some practical applications of finance and accounting:

- Budgeting: Creating a budget helps you manage your money effectively by setting limits on spending and saving.

- Investing: By understanding the basics of finance, you can make informed decisions about where to invest your money for the best return.

- Debt Management: Knowing how to manage debt can help you avoid high-interest rates and fees, and keep you on track to achieving your financial goals.

- Business Performance: Understanding accounting concepts can help business owners make informed decisions about their company's performance, identify areas for improvement, and plan for future growth.

## Conclusion

Finance and accounting are essential subjects that can help you manage your money effectively and make informed decisions about your future. By understanding the basics of these subjects, you can take control of your financial life and achieve your goals.

Transfer speculation

I know we are over a month away from the end of the season, but the rumour's are starting to appear with more frequency so I figured I'd start a thread to catalogue them all in.

We can save the "What do we need/potential targets" thread for after the league end's and we know our final position in the league.

Rumoured targets this week
==========================
Zaha - Linked by many papers, we were interested last summer. I'm still not convinced, but the way he has turned things around these last 3-4 months has been impressive. Will be expensive.

Luan Vieira - Brazillian attacker who could offer cover across the midfield. He's 24, but still plays in Brazil which could make him as risky as Paulinho. Youtube scouting shows him to be a good dribbler, decent in front of goal and similar to Dele, loves a nutmeg.

Bruma - 22 y/o pacy left winger at Galatasary. He's got 8 goals and 6 assists from 22 games this season. There have been reports that he's told Gala that he wants to leave for Tottenham and that Gala are willing to do business, with his contract expiring next summer.

Naby Keita - 22 y/o CM at Red Bull Leipzig. He has 7 goals and 8 assists from 25 games. The limited footage I've seen doesn't make him seem like anything better than we have, I actually think Winks looks better.

Sead Kolasinac - 24 this summer, he's a LB at Schalke and will be out of contract this summer. There are apparently a lot of clubs interested and we have supposedly already made an offer to him. He's a big guy and a fierce competitor. Just watching short clips of this guy, shows he's physical and not afraid to use his size to out muscle opponents.

Zaha - us playing mind games on Palace/Zaha
Luan Veira - sounds like clickbait
Bruma - one year left on his contract? 22 yo? Nailed on!
Naby Keita - clickbaot
Saed Kolasinac - hmmm, plausible. I think he can also play CB too...i guess it depends on if he is REALLY better than Wimmer outright and is better at stepping into the team after not having much of a run of games...so perhaps not actually when i think about it...

Zaha - why do we need him, particularly? I still have hope that Lamela will work his way back into the squad next year, and given his lengthy layoff, we could probably tie him down to a new long-term deal for less than it cost us to do the same with Eriksen/Alli. With Lamela, our AM band is tolerably full with Eriksen/Dele/Son/Lamela/Edwards (as a backup), provided none of them leave. Zaha wouldn't fit, especially if we're now set on using the 3-4-2-1 system and having wing-backs provide the width.

Luan Viera - who?

Bruma - again, winger at a time where the 3-4-2-1 seems to be our strongest formation. Not sure why we'd need one, even if we let Gorgeous George go for some reason.

Naby Keita - would love the guy to come in to help solidify our midfield options and provide some competition for Winks as Dembele's designated heir, but there is no way this is happening; he won't leave Leipzig so soon after joining, and when he does, it won't be to us.

Sead Kolasinac - I would have believed that we were in for him had Davies not signed his new deal. Davies signing that removes the need for another LB, unless there's a long-term plan to reshape him into a centre-back - which seems unlikely to me.

@DubaiSpur - for me Zaha would be in addition to Lamela Eriksen Alli and Son and be a bit of a wildcard to bring off the bench and change our approach - I think we can look at the signings of N'jie and N'koudou and deduce that Poch is after that type of player in the squad - maybe N'koudou has a future here and there's no need for Zaha but his very limited involment possibly suggests otherwise.

I think this rumour has legs

I also think it applies logic that we have tried to sign players similar to zaha hoping that they might be the next mane. A player poch has mentioned previously when discussing what our team lacks.

A player that is "direct" the words I think i recall, to change the dynamics of the team. All about the options.

Poch so far has shown that he has the ability to change formations and player duties depending on the opponent and within the game itself.

I'd rather see us go for Tielemans but zaha could become a beast under pochettinos tutelage.

I think we have to look at our squad first and see where we need upgrades. It appears Poch doesnt trust Wimmer, NKD, Sissoko and maybe VJ (although he may be given another season). Consequently, we most need upgrades in these areas - CH, WF and wherever the hell Sissoko was supposed to play.

Don't forget njie too

Zaha would be an upgrade on our wide attacking back ups but would come with a premium. I like the Mane comparison though and can see that to be fair

I think GKN will be given another season - he's looked lively and talented in his cameos so far.

We need that 6th AM to complement Alli, Lamela, Son, Eriksen and GKN. That's what Sissoko has never done. Otherwise our squad is pretty much the perfect 22

Tielemans is more like Winks from what I remember - a deeper sitting CM ballplayer.

Defour (now at Burnley) was their ACM/playmaker.

Dendoncker (their DM) has always been the best of their famed CM trio IMO.

Click to expand...

Yeah I know you've been banging that drum since we played them in the Europa League - Tielemans is widely regarded as one of the brightest prospects in the game not already at a big club, and by all accounts has stepped it up again this year - just because he had an off day v us in the one game you saw him play doesn't really change that.

Poch has already said that CCV, Edwards and Harrison will be part of the first team squad next season? That would reduce the number of positions that we are looking to fill.
