Torreira definitely made a lot of sense when we thought Emery was our guy. Still does. No nonsense CM who can come in and lock things doon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsunami Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 I’ve been told Trippier is all done and that we’re in for Steve Cook from Bournemouth. Also been reliably been informed we’ve had scouts at Luton, Fulham and Hartlepool. Great. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HaydnNUFC Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 (edited) We sort of need a striker too tbh, especially if Gayle leaves. Would only have Wilson as a recognised CF and he's an injury away from us being screwed. No idea who to go for there. Defenders: Trippier and Botman would be good, no idea how much weight the story on the latter coming here has though. Cook, no. Hopefully its just a lazy link by the press due to Howe's Bournemouth connection. Midfield: We need a holding more defensive minded one. Been waxing lyrical about Kamara but I think he'd be perfect for what we need. Whether we can attract him here with our league position is another thing, but he'd be an outstanding signing. Wingers/AM: Lingard would be a sound coup but should West Ham go in for him he's going there. I think Sunday shows how much we lack in creativity; Joelinton has improved and I love Miggy but ASM is the only real reliable source in terms of making something happen in the final third. Lingard changes that were he to join. Edited December 15, 2021 by HaydnNUFC Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thiago Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 4 hours ago, nortoon said: I would prefer to keep Manquillo in addition to Trippier. Having 2 right backs is fine in a non-Ashley world. You could basically make that case for most of the current Starting XI. I think Schar will leave on a free - personally - but the ceiling to improve this team is huge.

Yorkie Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 I've no idea how good Steve Cook is tbh but if Howe trusts him and he's better than some of our other options, and we get him through the door early on, I'm fine with that. Not as exciting as Botman but I don't know anything about him either. We'd be a step up for Cook and he has an existing relationship with the manager and some players, so there are positives there in respect of mentality and being effective asap, both of which are important aspects of any signing we make.

Palestoon Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 wonder what it would take for us to land bennacer from Milan. reminds me a lot of cabaye. tenacious worker, good in tight spaces and can pick a pass. would be exaclty what need in the middle of the park.
