Hughesy Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 Always been quite impressed with Billing from Huddersfield whenever I've seen him play. Wouldn't mind seeing him come, given we probably need to replace Shelvey, Hayden and Diame. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astroblack Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 Kongolo's name got mentioned a lot when Huddersfield played in the same way Roberton got mentioned a lot when Hull played. He any good. Do need a left back. Just checked Transfermarktt. They payed 9 mil. Worth 13 mil. Probably too steep. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astroblack Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 Bobby Reid 5 goals, 2 assists for shitty Cardiff. Shit hair. Would be cool if we coud loan them Murphy and get him. They'd then have both Murphys. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 Reid is a Championship player, we could do a lot better. Only player at Cardiff I'd posibly go for would be Camarasa and he's not even a Cardiff player Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xLiaaamx Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 If we waste time chasing a center back we're stupid. So I expect we will. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astroblack Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 If we waste time chasing a center back we're stupid. So I expect we will. Going to be an interesting summer. The biggest priorities are center midfield to replace Diame and Hayden. Always nice getting new midfielders. Hoping for something exotic like Cabaye was.

The biggest priorities are center midfield to replace Diame and Hayden. Always nice getting new midfielders. Hoping for something exotic like Cabaye was. I'm being an arse really but securing Rondon is the biggest priority. Should be extremely straight-forward. But centre-mid recruitment represents the greatest opportunity for progressing the general quality of the side. We can either replace Hayden and Diame with more like Ki, or we can really invest in the position and sign someone who'll make a significant impact on the rest of the team. (I doubt we'll let Shelvey leave) After that it's obviously LWB and RWB. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astroblack Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 No Yes. Rondon is probably the biggest priority. C'mon fucking Derby or Leeds. Villa, too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tribesman Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 Shouldn’t make a blind bit of difference whether they come up or not. A proper club would have the deal sorted already. It should have been sorted in the January transfer window. Any other club would have signed him after the season he has had regardless of how old he is.

Guest chopey Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 I wonder if Ryan Kent who is on loan from Liverpool at Rangers would be a transfer target for us he looks quality. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 Such an overhaul coming whether Rafa stays or not. Stays: at least Hayden, diame, shelvey, kennedy, Joselu, ritchie all out possibly Gayle. Goes: at least rondon, Hayden, ba bareccas, Perez, Kennedy, diame maybe schar Heck of a turn over with likely others to that list. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 We pretty much need a full new midfield and set of wing-backs. Goalkeeper, back three and front three I’d be happy enough for a top 8 challenge with next season. Probably going to need another backup CB if Clark leaves, and a bit more quality behind Perez, Almiron & Rondon (or two centre forwards if he’s not one of them).

Colos Short and Curlies Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 Midfield has to be priority after keeping Rondon (assuming Perez stays). If Schar is our 3rd top scorer and Clark 4th then we have a serious issue in the middle third. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 We really need to bring Gayle back even if we sign Rondon. Or we need to buy another competent striker who can actually contribute. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 Daniel Sturridge, Danny Welbeck and Andy Carroll are all available as free transfers in the Summer. I wonder which clubs will take a huge risk on those perma-crocks? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
louistoon Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 We'd be lightyears better with two good fullbacks who can provide us with proper width if we're sticking with 3 at the back. After that, replace whoever leaves and maybe one other attacking player as we don't have any other options but Rondon, Almiron and Perez. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minhosa Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 Ship five, buy five. Rules are (you have to include Hayden as he looks a certainty to be off), the five you bring in have to be realistic given the constraints of being owned by a twat and you are to assume Rafa is still the gaffer when it comes to formations/style of play etc. You can assume what you like in relation to borderline leavers such as Diame, Shelvey, Perez etc so either include them in your proposals or otherwise. You have to say what you're doing with Rondon and Gayle too. Please indicate likely fee's and what your nett spend would be. The nett spend shouldn't exceed £35m-£40m. After you've made the changes, propose the starting 11 on day one of the new season. Go Out: 1) Hayden (£15m) 2) 3) 4) 5) In 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixx Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 Out: 1) Isaac Hayden (20 mil) 2) Dwight Gayle (10 mil) 3) Joselu (2 mil) 4) Ciaran Clark (2 mil) 5) Mohamed Diamé (5 mil) +39 mil I actually have no idea with the contract situations with this lot which of course factors massively into their selling price. I'll obviously be gutted to see Hayden leave but I'm pretty confident we can get up to 20 mil for him. Gayle, Diamé and Clark can leave. All good servants to the club. It's obviously blinding optimism wanting a couple packets of crips for Joselu let alone 2 million but here's to hoping. In: 1) Salomon Rondón 2) Right back - Clyne? 3) Centre midfielder - Philip Billing? 4) Left back - Barbet? 5) Back up striker - Che Adams? Have no idea whether these are within budget and/or good enough Starting XI next season could look something like this. Dubravka Schar Lascelles Lejeune Clyne? Ritchie Longstaff Billing? Perez Almiron Rondon? Bench: Darlow Barbet? Fernandez Shelvey Ki Atsu Adams? Back up players: Elliot Muto Yedlin Manquillo Very reasonable to assume only two starting XI players will be replaced even though five would be brought in. We don't need goalkeepers nor centre backs (what even is life). Yedlin is not good enough for the PL and we desperately need an upgrade. Haven't seen Clyne for Bournemouth, is he still any good? Looked great at times for Southampton and Liverpool and still only 28. Yedlin can stay on as a back up option along with Manquillo. We very much need someone to provide competion for Ritchie at left back, have heard the lad at Brentford is good and apparently out of contract. Wouldn't mind if Ritchie started next season as first choice but someone should be providing him with competition. Even if he's reduced to being a back up player we need his kind around the team and in the dressing room. Really excited to see Longstaff come back from injury. Diame and Hayden leaving leaves us with at least one new centre midfielder to bring in. Billing from Huddersfield has looked great, only 22 years old as well, we really should be looking into that. Should hang on to Shelvey as an option, we're never going to get good money for him but he's a good option to have if we're lacking creativity in midfield. Ki is a very dependable back up player, bags of experience. Most important thing is getting Rondon. Speaks for itself. Next most important thing is retaining Perez. Along with Almiron we have quite an exciting front three. Muto has not looked very convincing so we need someone who can play across the front three and provide some back up firing power. Have no idea what Che Adams would cost or frankly whether he would be into coming here without having a guaranteed spot in the first team. Maybe he's an option. Muto can stay on but I'm not very optimistic. Expecting something in this vein to happen during the summer is in my opinion very modest, to say the least. But it just goes to show how little we need to push on and challenge the top 8. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
