That is a top 8 team, right there. If we get the decision right on when to play Shelvey or Willock. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said it seems highly likely we’ll have a new right winger and an attacking midfielder starting with a new striker (or Wilson). I also think we’ll have another centre half starting or at least competing to start with Burn and Schar. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Lascelles and Dummett could be relied upon, just not sure they're good enough. And neither put pressure on the first team. Don't think Burn needs any motivation, like. And Schar seems to perform better, knowing he's first choice. I'm just thinking if the owners don't want to spend too much, this summer we might end up only signing a top forward. And I wouldn't be too disappointed. That said the 3 games after Norwich should give us a better idea of what we need. If we're to be a genuine top 8 team then we have to be able to at least compete with the top 6. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a top 8 team, right there. If we get the decision right on when to play Shelvey or Willock. I would go as far as agreeing that it's team capable of achieving top 8, but I don't think it's a team that would be regularly operating within the top 8. It would obviously require some serious depth to support it, too. I don't think we have a midfield three combination currently that can control games throughout the course of the season, and we need at least another dependable creative/wide player along with the quality forward you've suggested. Hopefully we're looking for a striker, a winger, an attacking midfielder/no10 as well as a defensive midfielder, and a centre back. With an additional defensive as well as attacking central midfielder we'd have lots of combinations of players that could play dependant on the opposition. Half a team full of quality players isn't much to ask for is it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the lad and hope he can make that position his own. It'll probably take something beyond his reach to convince some on here, but I've got faith. AM is similar. would love to see WIllock make that position his own, but he could also be adapt to play on the left. Would love to sign Cannibaga to keep Bruno happy, so would be happy to see that.

Half a team full of quality players isn't much to ask for is it? Oh aye. I'm just saying that in order to improve, incrementally, we could splash most of our budget on a first choice striker and be prudent with new backups, that would have the benefit of Howe's coaching before being called upon. Buying three star players to come straight in could upset the brilliant balance we have. That said, we have a 100% success rate with transfers so I probably shouldn't worry.

McCormick Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 (edited) Imo we shouldn’t go for Diaby for the money being talked about. Has amazing stats (tbf It’s usually a good idea to take players’ goal tallies in the Bundesliga with a massive pinch of salt) but from what I’ve seen he’s extremely raw and a bit of a pace merchant. Good dribbling but his general play and decision making isn’t where you’d want it to be for that kind of outlay. Tin hat on but I’d much rather go for Trossard for a third of the price.
