So will Wilson. Striker and wide player is a must over everything. I agree with this. I was saying to a mate last night. Whilst you would like another CB to come in and a DM. The starting defence and the midfield options look pretty strong by our current standards, I think. Yet our front 3 is just toothless when it comes to goals and regularly creating chances. A centre forward that is fit for more than half a season and a wide forward type should be priority and I think they will be. You’d massively upgrade the team with a GK, DM and two new attacking players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 (edited) Probably need a whole new front 3. CM and CB. Keeper. Edited March 19, 2022 by AyeDubbleYoo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitley mag Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 I think Thursday night showed we need a real DM so Bruno can push further forward, can’t help but feel he’s a bit wasted in that role. If we could get Nunez and the lad from Leverkusen I think we’d be set in the forward positions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although obviously bullshit what’s the most u would pay for him. We could contest FFP after how reportedly Everton are being consulted and managed rather than given the expected penalty. Fuck it, bring him in. Edited March 19, 2022 by Sima Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilson and ASM gives us a nice group of five battling for three starting spots and then some actual quality on the bench. Wood as emergency third choice striker would be OK for a year or two. Fraser fourth choice wide man. Add a new GK, CB and CM and I'd be very excited to see what the squad could do next season. It's just accepted that we're gonna go balls to the wall and spend a fortune, right? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 I hope so. Considering what we spent in January just to stay up, plus the deals involving big money that didn’t quite come off (Lingard, Botman, Carlos etc). Then if the owners are serious about kicking on. Surely we’ll be spending £100m plus in the summer? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERTOON Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 I wouldn’t be shocked if deals for Botman and Lingard are already done tbh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbandit Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 Wouldn’t be surprised about Botman but not so sure about Lingard. Will be interesting to see if we’re in for him. It makes sense business-wise but I could see us aiming higher Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The two players i would go for. Think we have a good chance on Nunez. Who are going to pay what Benfica are asking for? Arsenal and maybe West Ham. Dortmund will be looking for a striker. Diaby may be more difficult. Both would go for £50m-60m. Kamara for "free" and maybe Botman. Close to 1.5 then.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emotic Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 Would you bin off ASM for Moussa Diaby or keep him as backup? ASM probably won't be happy being backup, to be fair. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awaymag Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 I'm still of the opinion that most of the squad, before Jan, should be shipped out. It will take time but our wide players, and strikers are pretty poor! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geordie Ahmed Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 January was about making us solid, be hard to beat and that has proven to be the case. Assuming we stay up then the summer has to be about sorting that front three out. Both against Chelsea and Everton we played well in parts but were let down by a lack of cutting edge. Get a top striker and winger in and that suddenly changes. Just imagine Nunez and Diaby in our side, would be quite transformative. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comegetasample Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 We'll spend up to or about 150M this summer I reckon, with the largest percentage of that being on forwards. CB LB (Targett?) CDM RW/LW CF With maybe a few cheaper youngsters/loans here and there. I think 6/7/8 in total. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reckon it will be more like 90, not including Targett, but bare in mind I expect we might get at least one free signing. If we get Lingard, that gives us more finance to spend on fewer players. We don't want to be held over a barrel for previous targets like Botman or Carlos. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERTOON Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 Not sure everyone else’s opinion on him, but I hope we stay well clear of Carlos. I wasn’t too keen on us getting him in January but understood the need we had. Certainly think if we stay up we can get younger and better targets Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
