janpawel Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Woah, Araujo supposedly available for €45-€50M. Would be a dream signing to partner Botman for me Would love to have a fast, aggressive CB in the ilk of Rudiger alongside Botman, can't think of someone better who's available, though I'm sure insane Barca wages, and the fact he'd have better suitors means it's a no go No idea if this link will embed, not done it before https://x.com/ReshadFCB/status/1877398088437866859?t=_TvSNv1q4q03o05D5xwheg&s=19 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deuce Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 On 27/12/2024 at 11:23, Astroblack said: Based on absolutely nothing but typing "most assists in French league" into Google, can we sign Ludovic Blas from Rennes? 26, right winger, 4 goals, 6 assists in 15 games. Wikipedia compares him to Mahrez. Never seen or heard of him, but going all Moneyball for this one. Looking more into him, 48 goals in the French top flight at the age of 26. Never had an international cap, now I really want him. Looks to have had a Gouffran type career. IIRC we were linked a few years back Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronson333 Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Adam Wharton would be good signing and one we usually make. Stock has fallen a bit this season but think he’d be great with Bruno and Tonali. His reading of play is very good and he’s left footed, which would add balance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
janpawel Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 I know Trafford is the rumour, but are there any good, established goalkeepers we could ambitiously aim for? I don't know many goalkeepers tbh, I checked Mike Maignan and he has 4 years left of his deal As much as I love Pope and what he has done for us, I can't help but see how much Dubravka's calmness / ball playing helps us, however prime Pope was an elite shot stopper, so imagine someone who has both will already be at the very elite clubs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnny36 Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 We need an impact signing this month like Cisse back in 2012 ..Would we have got 5th in 2012 if we didnt bring in Cisse? Surely the scouts have someone in mind that doesnt cost 40 or 50 million from France or Germany Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a priority position but always think he looks a nice footballer who deserves to be in a good footballing team Nah, nice looking player who will do well but not a priority and many more will come along at LW. Giving how the game has gone past decade, the talented right footed attackers are more and more getting played on left from an early age and as a result the quality in depth in that position is vast. Left footed players are less of, so naturally there's less depth to the RW if wanting the same. Why I'm coming more round to the idea of getting a right footed RW, or one who's playing LW at a young age and retrained to RW to be direct. Because the directness I feel gets most out of Isak with his movement knowing a ball will come in first time when played out wide. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 Posted this in the main transfers thread. I think he'd be a good signing if he's still available and the asking price isn't daft: Quote Is McAtee still available from City? If we were to get 2-3 out this month. He could be a good signing. Perhaps not the elite player we all want at RW to take us to the next level. But covers a few positions, could come straight in and contribute due to having PL experience and would give us options wide and in midfield. A lefty, too. Going to need more of a squad to rely on and some blurred lines between staters and back ups. The drop off between our XI and bench players bar one or two is so noticeable and is actually becoming a bit of an issue. We have a lot of senior players. Plenty who are on decent contracts by our standards and I don’t think they are contributing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colos Short and Curlies Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Would Kluivert be an option for a RW/striker in the summer? A lot of recent bias over the past few weeks but he's steadily grown into a more than decent premier league player and only 25. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's scored a decent number of goals this season too. I really admire how quickly he gets shots off - his hat trick against us were all almost snapshots but very well placed and with a lot of power. Good technique. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 He’d cost a fortune, no? High profile player and in arguably the team of the season so far. If they were quoting around £50m for Semenyo. Then Kluivert would cost more, I’d say. Doesn’t he play as more of a 10 or LW and all? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nine Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 The time to buy Kluivert was summer 2023, Bournemouth took the chance on him and fair play to them. He’d cost far to much now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sibierski Posted Friday at 09:55 Share Posted Friday at 09:55 (edited) One for next season if we want to spend on a 2nd striker, Thierno Barry. Joined Villarreal for E15m in summer, still looks slightly raw from the odd glimpse I've seen of him, but feels a player there. Scored many elsewhere, so was always interesting to see what a step up would be like, and it's been good in fairness.

Funtime Frankie Posted Saturday at 09:24 Share Posted Saturday at 09:24 Matias Soule on loan with an obligation to buy would be great before the close of the window. He was amazing before joining Roma but I think the churn of managers has unsettled him and also the number of new players they boughy. Should hopefully mean that he may be cheap. A class RW who can drift centrally, exactly what we need. There is interest from Fulham but I think we would be a bigger lure.

Turnbull2000 Posted Saturday at 23:33 Share Posted Saturday at 23:33 (edited) There must still be some major PSR concerns if we're still cutting back our squad without replacements. Honestly can't fathom it otherwise. We risk the season petering out if Arsenal turn us over next week.
