morpeth mag Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 I think PIF will want one statement signing of the ilk of Coutinho but in terms of business progression we need to be targeting the stars of tomorrow once we are sure we have enough to avoid relegation.

Ikon Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 My dream signing would be Luis Diaz from Porto. I know CM for example is more of a priority but we could really use a goal scoring wide player too. I want players like him and not the likes of Coutinho or Dembele for example.

Kid Icarus Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 Of all the obvious names we're being linked with, I think it's only really Jesse Lingard that's near to being a realistic one at the moment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wormy Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 What's all this Dean Henderson talk? For someone that's not been paying much attention to football in general the past couple of years, is he worth all this talk when compared to Dubs? Just seems a strange position for us to be eyeing replacements right now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gjohnson Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 Given that only about 1 in 1000 rumours are true, then it's all speculation until closer to January. If we want to be realistic, then financially no-one is out of reach. However...currently we don't have a Director of Football, so anyone linked now would be on Eddie Howe. Could see James Ward Prowse being fairly realistic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emotic Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 Just based on Youtube scouting of the last two pages worth of names, a forward line that featured Luis Diaz, ASM, and that Georgian lad would be absolutely mental Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ikon Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 Front three like this would do for me. Add a CM or two and a CB and a fullback, maybe two. Oh and a backup striker. Wilson Diaz. Maxi Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HaydnNUFC Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 Would take Van de Beek, would take Lingard too but if West Ham go back in for him he'll pick them over us. Not overly sure why we'd be getting linked with goalkeepers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

South-Cheshire-Toon Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 You always want to look at the fringe players, that before others joined, or themselves were good at other clubs are now subs etc. but also Ross Barkley for me.

toontownman Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 Was never very convinced by Lingard. Then he absolutely smashed it last year at West Ham and looked phenomenal. For that reason alone he will go to London if they stump up the cash. He knows it works there for him. Maybe he fancies working with Howe though.

He’s out of form for them, but he’s a top top player and will get 20 + a season easily still in the right team. He’d get even more if he could finish… If he was stood on the goal line he couldn't tap in 20 even served on a plate. Can't finish at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without spending silly money, they will do what they have to do to ensure survival. Put it this way, we won't be letting players go for the extra couple of quid like we were doing under Ashley. We also have potential to sell a couple of our fringe players. For example, we could probably get 3/4m for Shelvey from the championship, 1/2 for Clark, 3/4 for Gayle etc. We couldn't give then away due to the wage drop they would have to take to move elsewhere. Another Ashley masterstroke. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't see there being the same problem with doing that from this ownership. If 4 or 5 refuse moves out of the club, I dont think we would blink and eyelid leaving them out in the cold.

Yorkie Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 Don't know much/anything about Van de Beek but sounds like a risky move if his ManU career is anything to go by. I liked Lingard before he was cool/went to West Ham so would be a fan of the signing. Henderson, yeah, another one I don't know much about, but we need a good goalkeeper who's going to be fit for 36-38 games a season if we're going to get anywhere. I honestly wouldn't be too averse to us saying cheerio to Dubravka at this point, as much as I like him. He isn't reliable enough. Be amusing if ManU sold three players to us like, after all the hoo-har of them + the others trying to put the brakes on us trying to progress. I'm sure they'll really hate the idea of us paying through the nose for their damaged goods. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
