I also wonder if it might in some ways explain the extension to Dummett’s deal - Lodi signing would mean no Targett deal I’d assume, so we’d need to ensure we have back-up LBs. The squad will bulk out over time, but given the need to strengthen elsewhere, it’s hard to see them spending a hefty chunk of the budget getting in two LBs. Would Lewis still have a future?

Howe did say he wants to look at him again in pre season and that he had a rough year with long term injuries. Could definitely see him being an option to stay as back up. It seems Howe rates Krafth over manquillo though so it would be Manq or Lewis. Not convinced Dummett can play LB anymore. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keegans Export Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 Lewis was someone I really had high hopes for when Howe came in, I was sure some proper coaching would see him push on. Then he wasn't even included in the squad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 Would be interesting to see what Begovic’s passing stats were like at Bournemouth (just in terms of how many are short and how many long). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geordinho Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 15 hours ago, STM said: What he actually says is that he needs to make sure there is the correct balance. I agree that it seems unlikely that he will bring in a 35 year old keeper AND a 29 year old defender though but we don't know what the club has planned in other areas. He was very precise with his language and made a point of saying it was very position dependent as well which may mean that we’re comfortable with an older keeper for a while. FWIW I think he’d be a great fit personality wise as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigValley Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 (edited) Would have 2 strikers rather the a new striker and a keeper. Ekitike and the Arsenal lad i dont remember his name, or Isak.

In this case, if there is basically an obligation to buy then maybe it wouldn't make much difference to Reims. It would be a sale in all but name. It might be unrelated, but I read an article recently that Newcastle would be trying lots of inventive ways to stretch FFP. And another brief reference in the Times saying that one club (unnamed) would be backloading deals. I.e., relatively low up front sales, but loaded with incentives so that the fee was likely to increase retrospectively in future years of the contract. The idea being that, in future years with a higher profile and more successful team, other revenues would have increased to offset it and therefore mean that FFP wasn't an issue. The article didn't say that it was us doing that, but in a way it doesn't matter. Because, completely speculating here, I could definitely see us doing that. It might be a risk for some clubs to gamble on that kind of growth, but with PIF's backing you'd have to think that growing our name and commercial income is very much part of their medium and long term plans. Long and short of it is that things like this kind of loan deal would fit with that kind of strategy. [Speculation ends.] Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
