Not sure tbh, haven't watched much football the past 2 year, I think Zapata is pretty much the perfect striker for what we need but he's over 30 and will cost loads. So anyone like that I suppose.

Not impossible at all when you consider West Ham are still in the running for a CL spot this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rafalove Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 26 minutes ago, HTT II said: My number one target would be Tammy Abraham of Roma who can play wide right, wide left or centrally in a 3, in a two or as the single focal point up front on his own, he has scored goals everywhere he’s went at numerous levels. He’s quick, strong, athletic, adaptable and has a great attitude and character and he’s still very young. Appearances/Goals 2016–2021 Chelsea 58 (21) 2016–2017 Bristol City (loan) 41 (23) 2017–2018 Swansea City (loan) 31 (5) 2018–2019 Aston Villa (loan) 37 (25) 2021–present Roma 33 (15) National team 2014–2015 England U18 5 (2) 2015–2016 England U19 14 (5) 2016–2019 England U21 25 (9) 2017–present England 10 (3) 114 goals in 255 cub career games thus far, a lot of those games which were from the bench, Championship, Premier League, Serie A See for how much he would cost I’m not all that keen on Abraham. Maybe as a wide right forward he could be decent paired with Maxi on the left and either a target man or false none who likes to come deep. But Roma would want what? 60 mil? I’d prefer an Ekitike type up and comer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rafalove Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 Same. Though I’m not talking specifically about Ekitike. Just in general a young up and comer who could develop in to something better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rafa wanted him on loan with an option to buy for 20m when we were in the Championship (January window)… Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 I certainly wouldn't say no to Abraham, but there were quotes if €80 million floating around. He'll make a solid career for himself. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slim Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 54 minutes ago, Keegans Export said: I'm pretty sure we can't, unless we repeatedly manage to sell players for more than their market value when they need to be replaced. If we spend £300m this coming season (between summer and January windows), even if they're all spread over 5 year contracts, that's still £60m this season, then £60m amortisation in each of the following four seasons, which reduces our available spend by the same amount (eg if we made £100m profit, we'd actually only have £40m to spend due to that amortisation still appearing on the accounts). Obviously that's an oversimplification but that is my understanding of how FFP works. Kieron Maguire forecasted that the Magpies’ new owners of PCP Partners, the Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia and RB Sports & Media can splash £800m on transfers, spread across the next four years. That's without new sponsors or selling player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikky Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 (edited) In terms of sales - how much do people think we could recoup (Gayle, Clark et al) - about 30-40m? Edited April 27, 2022 by Mikky Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

At his age players don't go from club captain to 4th choice and stay at a club. Also can't see Murphy and Almiron both being at the club. One will definitely leave, wouldn't be surprised if both left. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 Should aim to get £15m for Lascelles but we might keep him. We'll need a 4th choice CB and he could be class in the dressing room Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRC Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 Gayle for 10m isn't going to happen. he's going to be 33 and hasn't had a meaningful contribution for 4 seasons. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nine Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 (edited) Gayle has been almost physically finished since those back to back hamstring injuries he suffered under Rafa, he did manage that one good season with West Brom after but those injuries + his age seemed to have taken their toll now. Considering hes on around 40k pw we'd be lucky to get any fee for him. Edited April 27, 2022 by Nine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having a really impressive first season at Udinese and has just turned 24 this year. 6 ft 4 powerhouse striker with pace.
