Concerned that CM isn’t as much as a priority as it should be. Expand Could definitely be that we want Botman (or someone else) and are prepared to wait until the summer if necessary. Been very quiet on CM/DM in comparison to other positions. Hopefully the rumour of the ownership wanting a marquee CM is true.

Expand Although he is playing from the left for Besiktas more recently, he's not a winger. It's a fair point though to him not being proven. Looking at his physical profile it is quite surprising no one in the Prem or high up in the Championship has ever tried for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkyMark Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 Would Haidara class as ‘marquee’? I’m not sure how much name recognition he’d have in England, never mind KSA. That doesn’t mean I wouldn’t be happy to see him sign - but I’m not sure I’d call him marquee Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaydnNUFC Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 Kamara or Fofana sure as hell would be imo. This lad seems good given the reports on this season and links to top clubs but he's currently away at the AFCON, would €40m not be a tad steep? Especially when we could buy Kamara or Fofana for potentially cheaper than that? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 (edited) Apparently RB Leipzig are trying to raise some money for signings themselves this January, as they are not going too well in the league, and so Haidara may well be available for a fair price. BILD has apparently stated that 'we will need to pay more than 20 million Euros', which is very feasible. Edited January 13, 2022 by KaKa Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 Nagelsmann leaving has really hurt RBL. I was hoping Marsch would do well but he was also let go.
