Shelvey can’t carry and is a long passer. Willock can carry but isn’t a passer, and Joelinton is more of our box to box destroyer with some decent carrying. Surprised Fofana hasn’t been snapped up yet he would fit the bill. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he's available we should be doing everything to bring him in. I think Shelveys hit his best run of form for us under Howe but Tielemans would be a huge upgrade on him.

I’d rather just release them from their contracts and pay them up if we struggle as even out on loan, we are probably going to have to front their wages anyway. Mid table Premier League blues. Cannot afford to pay the wages earned by elite players. Cannot offload players because no one below can afford their wages. Only going to get worse. Much worse.

Some of them were signed in the Championship too. Hendrick is on £50k apparently. Depends on which sources you trust but supposedly Gayle, Clark, Richie are all on £40k plus.

I said my son would love a photo with him but he wasn't there. He said I will be here in the corner when he comes. Bring him over and I will make sure he gets a pic. My son was ecstatic. Crazy that no one seemed to know who he was. I didn't take the piss for him not drawing a foul in the last moments of the match that lead to our winner either. Although it did cross my mind.

I don't think he could've fouled Willock, the faint was that good. I've watched that goal a 100 times and even tho I absolutely love everything about it a big part of me is filled with a sense of injustice because, goal or no goal, Mendy didn't get a 2nd yellow for rugby tackling wor Jo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazzy Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 Obviously Tielemans over Shelvey is a no brainer. However I don't see us getting another CM in this summer, happy to be proved wrong but it just wouldn't make much sense unless it was a promising youngster. We need a top quality (proven to some extent) RW and some sort of back up to Wilson, be that a free transfer or another youngster. Next summer is the time to go big on a new TOP TOP quality CM once Shelvey is gone and TOP TOP level striker to replace/compliment Wilson. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the owners will always look for a good deal and Tielemans for £20-25m could be such a deal. Would be a great upgrade in our midfield. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toon25 Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 If he goes for anything under £40 million in this market it'll be a brilliant signing for anyone that gets him. He'll have better options than us imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raconteur Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 Am I the only one who thinks we're not in for Paqueta on account of he's not a natural or specialist in any of the positions we need (ST, RW, CM)? There seems to be a lot of "just play him x" (most often CM) but I just don't see it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lazarus Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 (edited) I just love the fact weve been linked, however remote the posibility is, with a player of his calibre. Also, there was a semi plausible rumour that were gonna sign late in the window. Edited July 2, 2022 by Lazarus Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pata Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 4 hours ago, Skeletor said: The fees we'd get will be negligible so just write it off and release them. We would still have to pay their wages and I see no reason why someone like Hendrick would accept any less than he is owned. Believe anyone with few years left but no future here will be getting loaned out for the rest of the contract with us still having to pay some/most of the wages.
