I mean if we ended up with Huijsen and Cunha for £110m, I’d be happy with that as the only spending we do this summer

 

I wouldn't. Another year with no quality goalkeeper, no dedicated right winger. Or are you making Cunha into a RW full time?

I'm not sure about Huijsen yet.

 

Always wary of players who look good in a specific system such as those at Brighton or Bournemouth. 

Agree I think we missed the boat as well. 50m for a centre half is a lot for us. Our squad needs a lot of renewal. 

 

Cunha isn't a right winger from what I've seen so I'm not sure how he fits unless we are selling Gordon or changing system.

I'd love Cunha, he'd fit us like a glove, but we have much bigger needs in the squad right now.

From what I've seen which obviously isn't enough I really like him too, but kinda like NO favourite MGW I don't quite see the fit for us/affordability.

Aye, he'd come in as an option for LCM/LW/ST. If that was RCM/RW/ST then fine.

It's all gone quite on the Angel Gomes front. I've not kept tabs on him but if for no other reason than a cynical PSR flip he would surely make sense. Based on what I saw for England, hin in and Longstaff out would improve us as a team. Him behind Bruno and Tonali could be a good combination, especially in games where Joelinton is not able to make the most of his physicality and his lack of technical refinement is highlighted.

Cunha is fantastic.  But I'd imagine he'll have better offers for a start and I don't see how he fits in our system at all, personally?  

 

Unless Howe tweaks the formation back to something like his old 4-2-3-1, that I think he played at Bournemouth or something similar to what we played against Arsenal.  Then where does he play?  He seems perfect in that Wolves system as 1 of 2 behind the striker.  It's like he has free rein to do what he wants and it is usually for the benefit of the team.  People often associate that attacking mid/10 sort of role as a luxury.  But he has that workrate and tenacity to go with the quality on the ball.  Well, he does whenever I watch him.    

 

All that said.  I'd be absolutely buzzing if we signed him :lol:  We'd fit him in somewhere.

The only reason Bournemouth got him that cheap was because they were prepared to accept a release clause. If he leaves them in the summer, I think Bournemouthfans will think he'll be going for far less than they could have gotten without the clause. He's basically following the Haaland strategy to avoid being priced out of an opporunity to progress his own career.

Forget Angel Gomes - the best free transfer for us is Tom Bischof from Hoffenheim - literally the Howe prototype

Already signed a pre-contract agreement with Bayern.

 

Shame as I reckon he could spread the ball around like..

I think he could play that role for us just in a different way to how Murphy does it currently. He’d also be a great option when Isak is out injured

I think he's an incredible player and would be a good fit for us. But we desperately need a new keeper too.

Can you sign pre-contracts in Germany? You can't do that in the PL with another PL team. I always assumed it was the case in all leagues.

 

Must be able to if Bayern have already done a "player profile" for him on their website.

Yeah Bischof plays in Germany for Hoffenheim 

 

Actually wondered what the pre contract rule was in other counties (ie only foreign teams can approach) bit of a nonsense rule
