Guest Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 We've got one winger on the books capable of being first choice at the minute. Murphy may become one, Atsu is half decent back-up if you need something late on. (he was great in his cameo against Huddersfield late in the season for example). I think a winger is a big priority tbh. Along with a striker, number 10, left-back (we literally have only 1 on the books), and probably a centre-back now with Mbemba going. Can't go a season with 3 centre-backs. Can't even consider Dummett as the 4th CB if he's the only left-back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Merse Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 Kenedy at 10 - Ritchie and Townsend on the wings would be devastating Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xLiaaamx Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 I'd rather drop Ritchie than Perez Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Merse Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 Ritchie has most assists - I like Perez but he is no winger - just think kenedy would be a great 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobody Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 He'd be a very minor improvement. Seems fairly pointless unless dirt cheap. We'd actually be worse off compared to last season if we buy him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanshithispantz Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 I want Kennedy but Townsend was better in his 6 months here like. He's a no brainer if we're not paying daft money for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xLiaaamx Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 Perez is our best goalscorer as it stands. I meant I'd keep him at 10 and put Kenedy out wide where we know he's good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Merse Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 Personally think Perez lacks a little physicality - does have some lovely flicks and tricks though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xLiaaamx Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 Each to their own. I think Ritchie's chronic lack of pace that often leaves Yedlin isolated is more of a problem. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 I want Kennedy but Townsend was better in his 6 months here like. He's a no brainer if we're not paying daft money for him. Kenedy has much more potential than Townsend though. At £20m Kenedy will be our first choice and if theirs any truth in these rumours or other rumours of other wingers then we will likely be using our interest in them to try and get a better deal on the Kenedy deal first.

Hanshithispantz Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 Aye I want Kennedy too, I think Townsend would be competing with Ritchie and not him in anycase. If it's a case of us getting only 1 winger in, or we want a more attacking winger alongside one of those, then I'd go with Kennedy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 The story I read yesterday said Crystal Palace had rejected a £20m bid from NUFC (not that I believe NUFC have made that bid). More than £20m is a total non-starter. Atsu has had a knee injury for a long time which he was trying to manage with injections. He's had an operation on it now so hopefully he'll perform better next season injury free. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raconteur Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 Surely if we're bidding £20m for Townsend, then we've already bid that for Kenedy and been rejected (or put on hold)? If things are as bad as they seem money wise, then a #9 and an #11 is the barest minimum, to bring us to where we were at the end of the season. I'm not fussed if we don't venture beyond that, although I hope squad players are replaced wisely and hopefully with genuine competition for positions. We can hope...

Guest chopey Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 This is why I'm confident of a good summer transfer wise if we are prepared to bid £20 million for Townsend then Rafa must have a new number nine lined up as well as a couple of others.
