Lotus Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 Max Caqueret from Lyon. Looks similar to Bruno, style wise. Doesn’t dominate games like Bruno does but does look faster and more agile (handy in CM positions). He’s looks very intelligent with his pressing and covering.

Mazzy Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 Ansu Fati being made available in the summer. Still really young, would've been perfect as a loan because I think they'll ask a crazy amount for him. But he's certainly the type Howe could transform.

Whitley mag Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 Ferran Torres still only 23 can play across forward positions and previously wanted by the consortium before he joined Man City. Ship may have sailed and competition would be hot, but would tick a lot of boxes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just think of the expectation on him if he went to Liverpool. They expect him to single handedly turn things around in a team with lots of issues. For us, all he'd have to do is put a few tackles in, pass it to Bruno, and put fewer shots in the stands than Longstaff or Willock. Willock, JL7 and Longstaff all have terrific energy, but so does Bellingham. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keegans Export Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 Konstantinos (former Arsenal CB). Has had a couple of good seasons in Germany, comfortable on the ball & good range of passing. Could be an affordable option for the RCB spot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 (edited) If we get into any European competition, I think we'll see: - GK, Dubs & Karius leave and we bring an experienced head back in as a happy rotation option. Fraser Forster? - Bring in one 'prime' CB in who offers more pace as an option + a youngster if Lascelles leaves. - Had a hunch for a while that we might try and get Hickey in at some point, especially if we're priced out of Tierney. Targett is a very valuable squad member and absolutely should stay. - CM requires some big outlay with one starter and one younger squad option as a minimum. Thuram ticks a lot of boxes for the former - physical, technical quality that makes him decently press resistant, able to rotate in-game into multiple midfield positions to help free up Bruno etc. - Expect 2 wide players, maybe 3 if Maxi leaves (if he continues to struggle with fitness then we may look to move him on in the summer). Barnes + a younger player who can fill in out wide as well as through the middle. The more the season has gone on, the less I feel we're in the market for a true attacking mid - I'm pretty sure we won't go for Maddison now unless it's a fantastic deal. Wirtz would be the dream but someone like Alex Scott is more likely if we explore this route. Edited April 14, 2023 by Gallowgate Toon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking before Christmas we'd go with Schar & Botman as first choice again next season, but I wouldn't be surprised if we go for pace this summer to partner Botman sooner.

Smal Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 (edited) Assuming we keep the same system, if we can get pace and athleticism in at left back I think that would be sufficient. Don’t think replacing Schar is a good idea yet despite his performance at the weekend. Edited April 17, 2023 by Smal Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 Don’t think he needs to be replaced. But we do need a proper back-up in central defence with pace. Current 4 are slow. Need some pace at left back too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing against him is his age. Provided we bring in a youngster who can develop, Schar should hold onto his place for another couple of years Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
