We've bought players in the past from relegated clubs (Tino, Barnes, Pope) but we're probably moving away from that. Haven't really factored in cost more just player profiles we may be interested in: Wolves Hugo Bueno - good age at 23 and can cover both right and left back positions. Was impressed by him at SJP but haven't seen a whole load of him and I don't think he's even been a regular for Wolves until recently. He might count as being homegrown too despite being Spanish (have to check that). Probably the Manquillo esque player we could do with in the squad Matheus Mane - playing regularly for them and only 18 looks a real talent Andre and Joao Gomes - both are Brazilian internationals and good ages. Neither have really stood out to me but might be just because Wolves are pretty rubbish Burnley Maxime Estève - regularly linked to Spurs and other Prem clubs, good age at 23, rated really highly by Burnley fans and think he'll be on the move this summer West Ham Jarrod Bowen - probably too old to get any resale value and not sure how much he'll want to leave West Ham even if they go down but a younger version of him would have been perfect for our right hand side Crysencio Summerville - would only be if we got rid of one of Barnes and Gordon but I've always liked Summerville Mateus Fernandes - could be two relegations in a row for him but could be a midfield option for us Soungoutou Magassa - not been a good season for him but he was highly rated before joining West Ham and he's only 22 Nottingham Forest Murillo - left sided centre back with good distribution and only 23 Neco Williams - not a sexy name but someone who can cover both full back positions and only 24 Callum Hudson Odoi - still somehow only 25 and an option should we need a left winger Morgan Gibbs White - will be 27 next season so if he's going to make a move to a bigger club it's going to have to be sooner rather than later Elliot Anderson - being earmarked for one of the Manchester clubs but will throw his name in there anyway Tottenham Hotspur Lucas Bergvall - rumours he was linked with Chelsea and Villa in January, only 20 and loads of potential there Archie Gray - not wholly convinced by him but only 19 and covers a lot of positions Dejan Kulusevski - hard working right winger, always really liked him but been out injured for ages Djed Spence - England international who can play both full back positions Micky van der Ven - fast centre back option, will be v expensive you'd imagine Mohammed Kudus - would be really good for our right hand side if he can stay fit Pape Matar Sarr - didn't realise he's only 23 - never been that convinced by him but could be a midfield option Leeds United Jayden Bogle - another unsexy name but he's been really good for Leeds, can cover full back positions and only 25 Brenden Aaronson - seems to be finally finding his feet in the Prem and played really well against us but not sure he'd fit well here Gabriel Gudmundsson - looks a really good pick up from Lille with a nice delivery and crosses. Could be a good alternative to Hall Ethan Ampadu - omly 25 but a real leader than can play defensive mid and cover centre back Pascal Struijk - Leeds fans think he's one of their best players - I can't say I've really noticed it but throwing him in there Anton Stach - German international, midfield option with a good set piece delivery. Can't see us being interested in him Dominic Calvert Lewin - looks fit and firing again and feels like he's older than 28 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conjo Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 Lucas Bergvall is the one for me if the stars align and Spurs go down. Does he have any weaknesses? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 Gudmundsson might be someone who's not too bothered being backup to Hall, could see it. Spence would be amazing cover for us but I don't really understand why his stock hasn't gone as high as it looked like it would. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stottie Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 Just saying after this week's action, but if we're going into the summer looking for a keeper signing, Chelsea and Tottenham will likely be looking for one too. Our last two summer windows started with Chelsea snatching Tosin, leading to the Guehi debacle, and them getting Pedro (and Delap) and leading to our striker recruitment runaround. I sincerely hope this does not happen again. It should not be assumed that we can just cherry pick who we want, especially in a thread entitled "realistic".
