Kubo or Lee Kang in or Guler for that RW Mbuemo is another Barnes, prolific etc but we need another type of profile Gordon is not that creative Murphy is direct

If Guehi and Mbeumo are true, that's a solid start. That means a solid first choice XI. We then focus on Trafford or Garcia, would be happy with either. Backup CF and CM depth is crucial. This may cost another £50-60m. Already looking at a 200M spend, without a Tonali / Isak level player coming in. (I would classify Guehi and Mbuemo as Gordon level players, Garcia/Trafford as Tino/Hall level players). Depends what is happening with the outgoings - Wilson is gone, Longstaff, Willock, Lascelles, Targett and Trippier. Lots to replace depth wise just to get bodies in. Which is why I don't mind the free market so much - Gomes, David, DCL, Tah, Sane, Walker-Peters/Lamptey etc, wages notwithstanding

Another one Nickson spotted early Get this man his main targets and let's cook

Hugo Viana would have been a good shout had Man city not come in

Keegan could be an amazing ambassador but not a DoF with the admin and technicalities of the role

Or as souness said a "door opener"

Yeah that Reg Vardy sponsor was classic, their version of Brown Ale

Good idea

Keegan also would have loved HBA, he would have told everyone else to work hard to make up for it like Beresford and Ginola

Elanga is very good mindset wise watched something on the BBC about him and he's very much like Gordon mentality wise always improving and into personal development etc That might be why were linked

Yes As is Dibling

Available on a free too Would be good backup Although flopped at Fulham a few years ago

Yes agreed. You don't want to change too much, and potentially lose the culture but the squad refresh is long overdue. Dubravka, Ruddy, Oddy can go (keep Pope) Trippier may go, perhaps Lascelles will too. Targett too. Willock and Longstaff can go, for sure. One of Gordon or Barnes can go. Wilson can go. That's 10 players from the first team squad. Probably too many to change in one summer, especially when more depth is required. 1 of Joan Garcia/Trafford + 1 of Krul/Woodman/Forster is potentially the GK situation. Who knows the other replacements. We do need world class talent at RCB and RW so we at least have a very strong first choice XI.

Arda Guler for me

Think he may be too similar to Bruno and Tonali

Good shout

I think Rodrygo or Nico Williams is more possible

He's not Isak Tonali level

You can have one Tonali / Isak level signing out of the blue this summer. Who would you want?

The new Minteh

Both Mbeumo and Wissa would actually be awesome. Wissa would be an excellent back up CF. 29 so a little bit like Wood was a few seasons ago for us

Would prefer Cunha over Pedro Can play behind Isak too

Would like to get one purple before end of May, then another by end of June, then end of July then a surprise one by end of August on deadline day. With a smattering of quality additions in between those dates July 7 pre season starts so would be good to have our RW and GK in by then. And a couple of youngsters

The seagulls could also get Europe too

Ten Hag would have won that
