Mikky Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 Like I mentioned yesterday - Aouar is the perfect fit in our midfield - the fact that he is available for around £15m is ridiculous - you can easily play him attacking or as the holding player and let Bruno move up Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
junkhead Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 (edited) 9 minutes ago, The College Dropout said: I'd like a similar player to Bruno (but more of an athlete) but one that contrasts slightly with how Howe wants to play Bruno. E.g. if Bruno is to play more progressively - then someone more defensively minded. I wouldn't mind a player in the profile of Gini Agree. Initially I thought we needed a primarily defensive player in there but lately I've been thinking that another cultured (but still mobile, physical and capable in defence) midfielder could be very transformative to the way we retain the ball. Especially if teams begin to play deeper at SJP.. Somebody like Fabian from Napoli (but not him, he's not that good for the money they'd want imo) Edited June 29, 2022 by junkhead Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 I wonder if there's a quiet couple of weeks now while we work away behind the scenes. Baesd on recent links it seems we still want a young centre mid, a young striker and I think we'll go big on a right winger. Exciting times. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A massive limitation of our team is there's very little ball retention in the team but especially in midfield. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emotic Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 Good thing about Paqueta is that if we stump up the cash that OL is asking for (however much that is), I get the impression that he'd be happy to come. None of this dicking about with "waiting for PSG/Bayern/Milan to make their offers" rubbish (ok not Milan in this particular case lol). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucasol Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 (edited) Was on loan to Anderlecht from Bayern Munich last season. 16 goals in 38 games, currently 7 in 8 for Big Sven’s Dutch U21 gang. Also another possible argument to why Bayern wouldn’t be interested in Ekitike if they plan on bringing him through. Had an injury interrupted spell at Parma on loan. Ajax and Stuttgart linked but no suggestion on whether it’s a loan or permanent deal. Edited June 29, 2022 by Nucasol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, think because if Bruno (and probably Joelinton) if he came he would settle fast. A high pressing, creative and goal scoring attacking midfielder. He would be excellent here. I guess priority order for what is left to cover is right winger, then striker and last another CM. I'd take Sarr for right wing, Cornet for striker or winger rotation and Paqueta. Would feel very happy with that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 Currently at 31 senior players plus Anderson for next season. On the chopping block, for me: Goalkeepers: one of Darlow and Gillespie (ideally Gillespie) Defenders: three of Manquillo, Fernandez, Clark, and Lewis (ideally the first three) Midfielders: M. Longstaff, Hendrick, and Ritchie Forwards: Gayle Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
