Whitley mag Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 (edited) Tarkowski, Henderson/City’s young keeper, Ndicka, Targett, Paquetta, Isak and Ekitike. That’s what I’m predicting and would be delighted with that. I would really like a defensive midfielder and Hickey, but we won’t be able to do everything this summer. If Phillips becomes available for a knock down price due to Leeds relegation that might change our plans slightly.

I think this aswell but I’ve got a feeling if they shell out for Paquetta that’ll not happen, unless they go for a young prospect like Johnson from Forrest. I wonder if Ekitike or that other young French striker we we’re linked with might be used as a wide forward at times. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sushimonster85 Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 I imagine Man Utd are fucking about with the fee at the end of the loan. That or Ten Hag actually likes the look of Henderson. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nine Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 (edited) In terms of CBs we currently have Burn (will be kept as just signed), Lascelles (will be kept as known to be good leader/around the dressing room), Schar (will be kept as just signed new contract), Fern (will likely leave), Clark (will leave). Leaves us with 3 out and out CBs so it could be possible that we only sign 1 CB this summer, its unlikely we will need more than 4 using this 4-3-3 when we will be moving 2 on anyway.. 2 that havnt played under Howe since Jan. Either we spend big on 1 or we may even sign Tarkowski and just leave it at that, saving funds for areas that are probably more key issues right now.

Ikon Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 If we only get one Cb it has to be a very athletic one of high quality and good on the ball. We lack recovery pace at the back if anything. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we are operating with a more conservative budget then I totally think they'll sign Tarkowski and leave it at that. Means you have Schar, Burn, Tarkowski and Lascelles. First the three to fight it out over the starting slots, Lascelles is fine as backup. Save as much money for a striker as possible. I reckon (given we have a solid 8th/7th/6th finish) we will go out and try to get a highly rated, younger (likely European) CB. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like an all English back 4 it opens up international slots in our attack and midfield if our English squad allocation is: Wilson Willock Targett Burn Trippier Tarkowski Lascelles Henderson (maybe) We can fill up with international players in positions which are harder to fill with quality English players like wingers, strikers Nd attacking midfielders Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoSelecta Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 I think there could be legs in the idea of selling Lascelles and replacing with Tarkowski on a free. Seems like a shrewd move. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like a shrewd move. Apart from Lascelles currently being on £50kpw, and Tarkowski currently earning £70kpw. Leaving on a free and presumably his last big deal, he’ll be looking to get more than that. We’d presumably get…£8m?…for Lascelles? And imo, Tarkowski isn’t even an upgrade in any way- maybe last year or the one before; but this season he’s been shite and nothing special at all. Really don’t see what the attraction is, tbh.

NE27 Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 I mean saka would be a proper marquee in the right kind of mould for our club. I don't believe it for a second as he's actually decent and will have many suitors even if arsenal decided to cash in, which i can't imagine they will.
