Ash Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 41 minutes ago, Big River said: this guy would solve a lot of our problems. not sure how realistic it is, as he's been linked with Liverpool and Man Utd in recent weeks. but looks much improved after his spell in Bournemouth, can play ST/LW, knows the league, knows Howe, and is completely open about wanting to come back to the PL with something to prove. just makes sense on a lot of levels. Danjuma and Paqueta are the two no-brainer transfers we should be looking to make this summer. I get they won't be cheap but both supposedly have release clauses which are not completely prohibitive and they appear to be attainable, despite being a level above where we are right now. They would add so much value to the squad because of their ability to play in several positions and that versatility could be priceless in terms of helping the squad to evolve, especially in the short-term. While we are still apparently hamstrung by a lack of commercial deals, etc. we need to make sure what we do spend goes a long way and with these being able to slot in to different roles, they would be game-changing signings. Their versatility also adds further value and they can change how we can play too. These two in particular can play can play in numerous systems and would not just be ‘slotting in’ somewhere for the sake of it. They can produce genuine quality in whichever position they are deployed and they’d allow us to make tactical tweaks during matches which would help cover for the lack of quality in depth we have at present.

BoSelecta Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 If signings are amortised over the length of contracts (for FFP) and we plan to make big improvements to our commercial deals next year then I don't see it as such a major hurdle to splash out this summer should the right players become available. We'd only really be stretching the budget for the initial year of purchase & if these signings help us push for europe earlier they pay for themselves.

At 28 would provide genuine competition for Wilson, although couldn't see either striker being willing to play second fiddle. But that's how it works at the top clubs, you have to earn the right to the shirt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeordieDazzler Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 (edited) Depay is a talented player who with the exception of Lyon has made some very poor career choices. If his wages aren’t extortionate (he was signed after the ceiling fell in at Barca so might not be). I’d have him here, he is the sort of player a project like this can resurrect. Has previously played with Bruno too? Edit, yip Edited July 3, 2022 by GeordieDazzler Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dokko Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 Reckon we should make a move for Dembele from Lyon. Last year of his contact, previous good relations with Lyon and classed as home grown. Should be an easy sign should we want to persue him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 Not a bad shout, hadn't realised he was so prolific last year and thought he was older than 25 tbh. Still think there's better out there but he'd be a massive upgrade on Wood. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
