I think we will sign 3 more players, a RW and two forwards who can maybe split their roles between playing CF and left or right in an attacking 3.

If only Wilson could stay fit for a full season I genuinely believe he could target 20 PL goals, he’s actually canny underrated in terms of his all-round game, his performance against Arsenal was one of the best all-round CF displays I’ve seen for us since Shearer. He was that good that day, and that attempt…

 

Definitely, if he's fully fit, there's not many better in the PL. Genuinely class centre forward. He needs competition regardless, and Wood isn't really that.

One thing about us going forward is there will be a huge focus on targeting the best up and coming talent and hopefully when our academy is state of the art, our scouting up to scratch and coaching of a high level, we will produce more of our own homegrown players too. We have some very very special talent from under 15s to 9s and if just one of them makes it we will have a potential top-class player from here playing for us.

Well your last bit there was why I was suggesting starting him straight away ahead of Wilson. There has to be some incentive for him to pick us over Ajax, and while Wilson would rightly be pissed off, he can't exactly leave anyway until January.

 

Realistically you'd want him as an understudy or competition to Wilson, but sounds like he's adamant he wants first team football almost immediately. Not that different to Ekiteke I suppose (who I still think we'll hold out for ultimately). But for the price it seems we should be all over that if we aren't going to pursue the Hugo.

 

Yeah, I get it, but think he could probably still be sold on it if he knows he will play a good number of games, and will be the future at that position. Also always helps if the manager really knows the players skillset and provides details on how he expects to use him etc. Because it's a much stronger league than the Dutch league, he'd also likely be more open to maybe not coming in and starting right away too.
