NSG Posted May 12, 2024 Share Posted May 12, 2024 35 minutes ago, Mazzy said: Neither have been particularly impressive in that first half. But that could be more down to the fact neither team seem to really want to attack the game, which is understandable given it's the first leg. I think Gnonto would cost a bit more but then again it will depend if either of these teams go up as well. Tbf to Rowe he’s been out for four months and it’s his first game back.

Ronson333 Posted May 12, 2024 Share Posted May 12, 2024 Just watched some of the Valencia game, the Georgian keeper is quality. Brilliant for a one on one off his line and made a fantastic save from a massively deflected shot. Got named man of the match . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I could compare him to anyone it’s probably Manuel Neuer - without being as over confident as Wor Manuel is - he’s a quality keeper That RW position we have to address in the summer - good pros Murphy and Miggy - but they simply aren’t at the level of Isak and Gordon Kelly and Tosin buy us a lot of wriggle room in the market Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSG Posted May 12, 2024 Share Posted May 12, 2024 Going full FM mode but I’m hoping for something like: Kelly (free) Tosin (free) One of Olise/MGW/Williams (£50m +-£10m) Rowe (£20m and loaned back to Norwich for a year) Valencia keeper (£50m) Young backup striker with a lot of potential (£25m) Total spend c£150m Out: Miggy Targett Dummett Ritchie Hendrick Fraser Hayden Lewis Karius Dubravka Wilson(?) If we get anywhere close to £30m for the lot of them and all their wages off the books then it’s a dream scenario. Think we’ll end up subsidising a lot of their exits though.

Very strange goings on at Barca - I wonder if they just can't afford to play him? i.e money due based on appearance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume they are financially in a poor state, I reckon most of their team is available at the right price. The reality they probably have a youngster from la mesia who is as good as Vitor is tbh.

He could be the number 6 we don't have or a superior replacement for Longstaff. I think he's one of the players we'd warm to very quickly if he played for us.

GK aside, which position significantly impacts our performance the most when first options are out? Fullbacks - not really, no. Centre halves - I don't think so, Burn and Lascelles have both put in shifts LW - nope RW - arguably but not to the extent that we become a poorer side, just less affective in attack. Striker - not really, but the risk comes from how injury prone our back up is Midfield- aye. If either Bruno or Joelinton are out we become a significantly easier team to beat. Midfield absolutely needs reinforcing. I will die on this hill. Edited May 25, 2024 by Thumbheed Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midfield absolutely needs reinforcing. I will die on this hill. Burn and Lascelles are one of the reason we are not a top top team. So are Longstaff, Andersson, Dubravka and Almiron. All these need upgrading. I agree midfield needs reinforcing. But Gallagher is a 50-60 million player who is an England International. We are not going to buy him to put him ( or Brazil International or Italy International, both 50-60 million players) on the bench. We are nowhere near that yet. We have Almiron and Murphy RW and aging Schär as the only fit top level CB. And injury prone Wilson as the only option for CF. edit. Tonali is Longstaff replacement. I understand buying Gallagher if Bruno leaves Edited May 25, 2024 by KingArthur Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

janpawel Posted May 25, 2024 Share Posted May 25, 2024 Problem with Gallagher imo is that he isn't anything new to our team, yeah I think he's good as a high pressing, high stamina 8. But we have more than a few of those, yeah I think he'd improve us, but for the money + what we get I don't see it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
