Realistic Transfer Targets

[1878]

Jagielka for a season or two ?

 

Be surprised if Jagielka went anywhere. He looked finished early in the season and was out of the side for a long time. Since getting back in, he's been our best defender.

 

Ashley Williams has been a big disappointment and Funes Mori is shite. Holgate is good, but still a bit young. We should be signing a couple of centre backs in the summer, but I think Jagielka will stay put and see out the last year of his contract as the main back up.

[Minhosa]

Zabaleta would be a great signing especially if Anita is away!

Maybe a few seasons ago but not now, especially as he'll be looking to be playing every week. Hope we persist with Yedlin.

 

Agreed - I like Yedlin and think Rafa could easily iron out his flaws.

[Minhosa]

Is Chicarito realistic?  He seems like a Rafa type striker, knows the PL and scores for fun. He's also not playing for a Champions League club so it's not like he'd be taking a massive step down

 

Very interesting shout this one. I'd agree that he appears very Rafa-esque in terms of characteristics.

Chicharito is mint. It also looks like he's out of contract in June 2018, so standard logic suggests he's available and the issue will be a combination of wages and ambition. After his first season, Leverkusen must have tried to get him to sign a longer deal, but the fact that he hasn't signed one means he must be thinking about elsewhere. Leverkusen are left with the option of getting 15M maybe for him now or watching him walk next summer.

Which Man Utd Manager sold him? LvG?

[Dokko]

Charlie Taylor is surely Ashley's wet dream.

[Guest chopey]

Tottenhams Son new number nine ?

[joeyt]

Good luck with that

[Guest chopey]

Good luck with that

 

I just thought our new sponser might chuck a few quid in like Newcastle brewerys did with Keegan.

[Disco]

 

Yes please.

[Guest]

Is Patrick Roberts worth a look? I know it's only Scotland but he looks like he could be the real deal.

[Yorkie]

Bournemouth about to bid £30m for Ake/Begovic according to the Guardian.

Eddie Howe probably won't play them.

[Yorkie]

Begovic supposedly going for £12m according to the same article. Be a shame if we're not interested at that price.

[Ketsbaia]

A few rumours saying Man City might sell Iheanacho. To me, he'd be #1 target.

 

Bet there'd be fierce competition though

Valued at £20m, apparently. I'd snap him up straight away for that.

[TRon]

Iheanacho and Begovic are top quality signings mind. If we are going to part with big money for players, they should be the calibre we are looking at.

[Guest firetotheworks]

Aye, I'd be very happy with Begovic at that price. Nothing better than having a solid, dependable 'keeper and he definitely fits into that category. I'd be surprised if Liverpool weren't interested though, or even Everton, considering Liverpool especially are desperate for someone like him.

[KaKa]

Iheanacho is available?! Man ... that would be so awesome, but it will be tough to get him due to the interest.

Strongly linked with Everton

Is Patrick Roberts worth a look? I know it's only Scotland but he looks like he could be the real deal.

 

If I was looking at Celtic I'd be taking Tierney first and then looking at Rogic. Both have had recent injury problems but when they're fit, they're definitely the two players I'd take from up there.

 

Roberts doesn't have much physicality and he hasn't exactly stood out against against the garbage they play against week in week out. Only 20 year old like so does have potential but I'd rather look elsewhere when we look for a forward player.

Wet Spam too.

[Pilko]

£20m for Iheanacho would be a steal.

[Altamullan]

Nacho is/could be a top player with enough game time. Coming somewhere he is relied upon/could be a big fish would I think be good for him, too. He also seems a nice lad; paused for a bit if a kick about with my son at City Academy (20 seconds of his day,  made my son's month).

[Guest Howaythetoon]

Looking at strikers or forwards, Negredo got 9 goals, Gray 9, Deeney 10 and Llorente 15. All players I believe we could realistically target. I'd have Deeney here from that list of forwards, and if we are to spend big on a striker and look to push the boat out so to speak I'd go all out for Benteke who got 15 goals for a struggling Palace. King who we have been linked with got 16, but I know little of him. One player I'd love here, but would be a bit of a pipe dream, would be Giroud, he has 12 goals which is a goal every 100 minutes he has played. We desperately need a striker who can get 15 goals or so. I'd fancy Gayle to get 10, but I'm not so sure others in the team at current would get enough goals to supliment such a return from our number 9 so we need more goals from others or a really prolific striker.
