Yorkie Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 I don't watch enough European football to suggest players we should be after from the continent. If we're being daft, from this division I'd have Adama Traore at the top of my list. Wilfred Ndidi and Dwight McNeil. Forwards-wise I'll have Dominic Calvert-Lewin please, he might turn into a star.

triggs Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Will be interesting to see the type of signings we make. Can't see us just going out and getting world class players straight away. Think we might start picking up the "best of the rest" outside the top 6 kind of Premier League players Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes to all of these. We're not signing Sancho ffs. May as well try for Foden too at that rate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nufcjmc Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 knowing our luck we will spend 80 million on a player only to see him limp off out for 6 months within the first 20 mins of the game Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think we might start picking up the "best of the rest" outside the top 6 kind of Premier League players Aye. Would take Grealish, Aarons, but can see us looking abroad for a lot of players in the coming window, whenever that is. Ndidi I love but would players at Leicester come here straight away, especially with probable CL football on the horizon? I doubt it, which is a shame as I'd love Ndidi here and really rate Maddison. Though would prefer Grealish to him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 If I could only choose one "big" signing within the grounds of reasonable post-takeover reality it would be Grealish all day long. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElDiablo Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Nah. No spice boys. I'd take Doucoure and McGinn. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRC Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 If this gets done I'm going full deluded mag. Neymar, Mbappe and ASM front three. Make Neymar and Mbappe spokesmen for Uber and pay them 500m to get round FFP. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 What we don't want are these 30+ year olds where their only motivation for coming is to get one last big payday of Saudi money. Would be made up with Willian - vastly underrated player who would add real quality for at least another two seasons. I agree that old frees is probably not the model to go with, but this is a special case - and the very best transfer policies are case-by-case... Agreed. We've tried that already, it didn't work out well. You get the odd moment of brilliance, but in general lethargic performances. The one positive thing about the current squad is that they work hard for each other. If we start getting in cheap past it players like we did with Duff, Butt, Smith, Geremi, Viduka, Campbell, Johnsen, Capcapa etc. Things won't be better on the field. There are exceptions of course, so it is a matter of evaluating the individual players personality like Benitez did to ensure we add quality on top of effort instead of replacing one for the other. Willian seems like a good shout in that regard. Agree wholeheartedly with these views. One or two experienced players in the right positions would be fine, but the core of the team needs to be lean and hungry. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Nah. No spice boys. I'd take Doucoure and McGinn. Doucoure is good shout because I remember Man City's first step was to buy their rivals' best players (Lescott, Barry, Santa Cruz, Given etc). Until we can attract the elite, let's go for Doucoure, Ruben Neves, Chilwell etc. Not Grealish though because he seems like a twat. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

An example of what happened re:Lescott, http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/m/man_city/8216645.stm There you have City going out to get a top English centre back at the time. So in today's market are some of us actually claiming we will be able to look at the England centre backs, let's say Gomes and Stones? City signed plenty of stars and a handful of England internationals Lescott,Bridge,Barry,Johnson, I cant see us emulating that. It will be impossible to sign four current England internationals plus the likes of Kolo Toure,Teves,Kompany, Vieira,Zabaleta. I don't believe we will be able to sign the equivalent English internationals in the current football climate. If we can, give me four names.(Of the equivalent of the four city signed) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manxst Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Nebil Fekir is a name I reckon we should be linked with too. Heavily linked with Liverpool over the past few years, and as far as I know, more than willing to leave his current club. Would fit the no.10 role perfectly.
