Given he watches far more Chelsea than me, its a no from me. Your housemate lives with you though, so, gotta question his judgment? (*lol, kidding, I’m just being a n*bhead!)

LionOfGosforth Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 I'd love to think the likes of Badiashile/Botman, Paqueta/Phillips, Osimhen/Nunez are realistic but I haven't a clue. Quite honestly, whatever the club decides to do, alongside EH's input, and we grow steadily, i'd be thrilled with that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's absolutely fantastic having a manager that you can trust to get the most out of players, and continuously improve them. It makes buying players so much less of a risk to some extent. Just knowing that players will be coming in is enough for me, and it will be easy to get behind whatever signings Howe ultimately decides on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazzy Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 Pogba no, Rashford yes. I know Pogba is free and Rashford is not but he's younger and has a better attitude. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbandit Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 By his own admission he’s talked about issues with depression when managed by Mourinho but obviously that was a particularly toxic environment for him that was down to Mourinho being a twat. However, I don’t think as a player he comes across as incredibly mentally strong. His performances fluctuate a lot for someone with so much talent. I think he could be a success at a lot of clubs under the right management and with the right players but it’s definitely not a given Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazzy Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 Nick Pope anyone? If Burnley go down he'd be available for certain if he wants a chance of going to the World Cup. Solid keeper, Prem experience, England squad player and 3yrs younger than Dubravka. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ikon Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 (edited) Whatever players we decide to sign I hope that we go for players with great technical ability and football IQ as well as the right characters. Bruno is just THE example of this. Edited April 23, 2022 by Ikon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheInfiniteOdyssey Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 Just thinking of a list of potential targets we can perhaps look at: Defence Matt Targett - Seems a deal has already been agreed for around £15m Aaron Hickey - Mentioned by various sources as a viable target this summer for around £15m. One of the best young full-backs in Europe and has played more minutes than any other teenager in Europe's top five leagues this season. Tagliafico - Much to his public disappointment, was unable to agree a move to Barcelona in January, will definitely leave Ajax this summer for likely a low fee. One year left on contract. Grimaldo - One year left on current contract at Benfica. Highly-regarded as one of the best left-backs in Europe. Joe Gomez - Out of the picture at Liverpool, Liverpool would absolutely rinse us for a big fee if they look to sell though. Bremer - Credited with interest earlier this season, looks a top defender. Saliba - Arteta doesn’t seem interested in giving him a chance at Arsenal. Midfield Paqueta - Mentioned by various journalists as a viable target. Obvious link to Bruno. Lingard - Free transfer, very close to joining in January. Personally think he’ll end up at Roma under Jose. Leandro Paredes - One year left on current contract and been told he can leave by PSG. Bissouma - One year left on current contract which limits Brighton’s chances of extracting a big fee. Aouar- One year left on current contract, Lyon very unlikely to get European football and will need to sell players this summer. Brennan Johnson - Looks an extremely exciting talent, any potential deal would hinge on Forest not being promoted. Keane Lewis-Potter - Wildcard option, but 11 goals for a poor Hull side as a young wide forward is decent. Could perhaps replicate Bowen’s success at West Ham. Striker Luka Jovic - Arrived at Madrid as one of the most exciting forward talents in Europe. Barely played during his time and certain to leave following Mbappe’s impending arrival. Would be a big fee however. Moussa Dembele - A year left on current deal. 17 goals for Lyon this season and for reasons outlined earlier, you’d imagine Lyon will need to sell assets this summer. Ivan Toney - Incredible career turnaround after we let him go. Impressive goalscoring record at Brentford and has won the most aerial duels of any striker in the league. Dynamic presence, offering an aerial threat as well as an option behind the line. Difficult to see him coming back. Hugo Ekitike - Turned us down in January, but could go back in for him this summer when he’d have more time to settle. Would be a big risk to rely on him adapting quickly for goals if Wilson gets injured again. Gianluca Scamacca - Leaving Sassuolo this summer, regarded as one of Italy’s best young attacking talents. 13 goals this season in the league, Inter are favourites to sign him, but much will depend on situations surrounding Dybala and Martinez.

STM Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 In a scenario where we decide not to pursue a top quality goalkeeper but still need to sign someone experienced for back up, to replace Darlow.... Fraser Forster or Tim Krul homecoming or Ben Forster, just for the Fozcast. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 Forster or Krul would tick the homegrown box for Europe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 If we decide to be ambitious for a new keeper then Diogo Costa would be worth having a look at. Just can’t see us spending big on a goalie this summer though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peppe Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 Peter Prospar. Only 18 and available for ~£160k. Likely to be one of the best strikers in the world after a year or two ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming Nunez wants CL football and Osimhen is going to cost £80m+ I'd definitely be making enquiries about Jovic. They paid £60m(ish) for him, current book value about half of that. I wonder if a £30m-40m bid might tempt them? Although he's on about £150k. I think he's class, Bruno threading balls through, ASM and a new right forward either side...
