Toon No9 Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 Some changes I would like to see. Out: Hayden £15M (would like to keep but think he leaves) Shelvey £20M Gayle £15M Murphy £8M Atsu £8M Clark £5M And some players to leave for free or for a nominal fee such as Diame, Aarrons, Barreca, Elliott, Colback, Saivet, Joselu... In: Rondon £16M Wesley Moraes £16M Brooks £20M Benito Free Juan Mata Free We then need a right wing back and one or two central midfielders, not sure who thoose would be yet. Would like Donny van de Beek but don't know if it would be realistic (probably not). Maybe Tom Bayliss from Coventry as a squad player/one for the future. Also Barca and Real Madrid will have clearouts in the summer and maybe Rafa can lure one or two fringe players from them with his connections. Would also like to see a couple of young players get a chance to impress in the preseason games. Victor Fernandez, Elias Sorensen and Kelland Watts for example.

Dokko Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 25 average premier league players would be a great start, including 2 fucking left wing/backs. Be nice to see some options off the bench and competition for places. Right now we have too many nailed on starters due to lack of depth. Our best central midfielder a kid with 9 games under his belt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Logic Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 Transfers out: £19.25 rising to £23.65 million Florian Lejeune (Crystal Palace) - £7.5 million rising to £9.5 million Ayoze Perez (Watford) - £4.4 million rising to £5.5 million Jacob Murphy (Bordeaux) - £3.4 million rising to £4.2 million Joselu (Middlesbrough) - £2.2 million rising to £2.7 million Christ, they're off their tits! I don't want to overvalue our players but those prices, Joselu aside, are way low imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dokko Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 Trippier seems to have lost his way this season and talk of spuds moving him on. Wonder if we will be in a position to offer him a way out? Clyne will probably be available as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 Trippier has been linked too much with moves abroad for it to be coincidence I reckon. How did Clyne get on at Bournemouth? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dokko Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 Do think Adrian on a free is tempting. Can’t see Elliot and Darlow staying put. Neither of them are good enough to put real pressure on dubs, think Adrian would and we’d see some competition. I’m excited at the thought of having a squad and gradually seeing the options improve over time. Basic fucking stuff we’ve been denied for a decade.

Dokko Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 Also, not sure if he’s a Rafa type gk or not, but if we are allowed to assemble a squad I think Jack Butland would be a good keeper to bring in. Could possibly use Gayle as bait, if Gayle doesn’t get a premiership offer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

xLiaaamx Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 If we have new owners that care, it won't matter. Just strengthen the key positions lacking quality at first then do more in future. No need to sign loads of players straight away. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manxst Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 If the takeover doesn’t happen until the end of next month, that realistically gives us 5.5 weeks to conduct our transfer business. Going to be tight. Only if we have a manager other than Rafa, no? If he’s still here, then I’d presume he’d have been working on targets, availability etc, to every possible level.

mighty__mag Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 If we sign someone like Luka Modrić... I’m not going to know how to react. Back in the real world we are being linked with a 34yr old Skrtl and a knackered injury prone McCarthy who hasn't played in about 2yrs. In all seriousness, without a takeover we really dont need these types of signings, don't get it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
