I just looked back into our history and I reckon it's Mitro, Ayoze, Wijnaldum, J.Murphy? Lejeune had potential if he stayed/got played. Whoever it is, it's been a few years since we had that kind of transfer success. Other teams in the league do it, and we need to also given PSR. Bassong & N'Zogbia also come to mind Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 Anguissa out of contract in the summer, done well at Napoli and would be a clear upgrade on our backup midfielders? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Underpants Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 Watching PSG-Nice atm and Nice midfielder Bouanani looks a player. Left footed, attacking midfielder a bit like Palmer. Just assisted Nice goal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteV Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 Anybody take Soucek from West Ham, if he was available given their rumoured PSR predicament? Still got a couple of years on his contract, so don’t think he’d be ‘bargain’ territory, unless they needed to sell for the June deadline, like us with Anderson/Minteh. Also, not really a great age profile given we’re probably looking to push the average squad age down. On the positive side I could see him being very useful squad player. Good size and physicality that Howe likes. Maybe someone who could cover (to a degree) what Joelinton gives us better than our current backups?

Sibierski Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 There’s genuinely no-one I would want from West Ham. Bowen is the best, but he’s reaching age point where I think the best has been seen from him. Would just be signing a youth player if they have some top youngsters coming through. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

black_n_white Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 How has Omari Hutchinson performed this season? Could he be realistic as replacement for Longstaff if he departs in the summer? He can play midfield and wide forward so quite versatile? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibierski Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 He’s disappointed me. Wanted him last summer, but didn’t seem to make the step up I was hoping. He’s better off staying at Ipswich and getting some confidence back whilst still developing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skjaere9 Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 Could Eze play as a more technical / less physical option for the Joelinton position in our system? Seen some reports he’s going to leave Palace, would offer a lot more than Willock going forward I’d think. And we wouldn’t need him to take penalties thank god.

Optimistic Nut Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 (edited) Ndidi available for £9m. That sort of fee I think he'd be worth taking on as a 5th/6h choice midfielder. Send Miley on loan to Leicester for the season as a sweetener. Their fans are foaming they put in such a cheap clause.

Optimistic Nut Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 Their fans seem gutted about it and rates pretty well on Whoscored. Change of scenery and better than mates and I reckon he's someone who'd do a job for 15-20 games a season and to help see games out. Might also be at a stage where being a squad player at a club near the top might be preferable to the last 3 seasons battling relegation or playing in the Championship.
