If we we’re able to appoint someone like Conte, all of a sudden deals like this don’t look so unrealistic. The Spanish giants are no longer cash rich, which means options are limited to PL clubs and perhaps Bayern for the top players. A front 3 of Chiesa - Vlahovic - St Max would be up there with PSG’s front 3 for me. Someone wake me up I can’t believe I’m even typing shit like this. ASM isnt near that level yet.

Sure, but with better players around him and the opposition not able to treble up on him, the potential is there for him to be as exciting as anybody in my book.

James Ward Prowse- £30m James Tarkowski- £25m Donny van der beek -£50-60m Wilfred Zaha -£50m Total £165m Don't think that's quite how it works. Due to amortisation if we signed someone,say for £40mill on a 4yr deal and wages of £5mill a year its spread out over the term of the contract so it would count as £15mill per year so that would come of the 3yr rolling figures.

Not sure we can right now, but we could probably get some top quality talent from foreign shores. Although with the state of Brexit England, not sure we are that much of a draw any more.

Dokko Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 Not going to get too greedy and dreamy until I know who the manager will be and where we’ll be heading. Survival this season is still the main priority and our focus should be that whilst identifying players to fill the glaring holes in the squad. Rather we have 2 good players in every position than 2 star players we rely heavily on only for them to pick up injuries and we never see a consistent team put out. From there we build maybe 2 players a window until they get to the level the new board want to be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d take both, but Zaha is a shite ASM for me, so infuriating, he could be next level, but I don’t know, there is something in his make up preventing that. I rate Lingard mind, but he’s similar to Willock, box to box ACM/goalscoring CM. We need some steel in there which we don’t have at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nbthree3 Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 We're in the market eventually for world class players Staveley's said - but we need the infrastructure around them first otherwise in her words it wouldn't work Anyone that'll improve the current squad is worth it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawK Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 (edited) It'll be 2-3 seasons before we're signing any top players, presuming we actually stabilise and progress. Right now we'd be aiming at stand-outs from low-level PL clubs, or outcasts from the the top clubs. That means James Ward-Prowse, Tomáš Souček, Batshuayi etc. Patience.
