WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 I want us to sign Phillips just for the inevitable Chronicle story about 12-year-old Tyler getting excluded from school for copying his haircut. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 Stay clear of any Man U player and players from relegated teams. Also, don't sign anyone that wears colourful boots. Has a silly haircut. Has a trademark celebration that last longer than a FIFA one. Refers too their Brand. And certainly no one that listens to more than two podcasts.

Tiresias Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 I still think some people are going to be very disappointed by our window. I don't think we will spend quite the sums some think based on how much Howe thinks dressing room unity is important I really don't think he wants to change a huge amount of the squad. The Tarkovski links might be because CB is no longer a priority with Schar and Burn playing perfectly well so makes sense to add depth if we can shift Fernandez and means don't have to spend what it normally costs to get a premier league level defender. Of course I would like a lot of changes, and I really hope certain positions are upgraded. I do doubt the £50m figure, but I don't think it will be thaaat far out.

JonBez comesock Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 Don’t think ‘ramble’ will be involved in our transfer discussions just a hunch he has already pointed out the numbers and what is possible etc I don’t think we have a specified budget and we will do deals that come along (and that suits everyone) At least we know that our new owners will always push to do their best that’s all we can ask for Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We brought in 5 and improved the unity we will be losing at least 5 (so will need to replace) Doesn’t have to be crazy money , but we need 5 new faces Edited May 23, 2022 by JonBez comesock Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 (edited) Still think it'll be 4-5 in and shifting loads of the deadwood. I think only one or two of those will be of Bruno quality. It wouldn't suprise me to see something like: Henderson, Targett, Paqueta, a right winger (can't think of one off the tipnof ny head) and Ekitike.

Tiresias Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 Yeah very possibly but I would be surprised at 5 'marquee' signings, I think there'll be a bit of exciting young players rather than established stars Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a fucking tsunami compared to Ashley’s scrimping. £200m would be comparable to when Man City went out and bought their full back line and Bernardo for £40m a pop (Walker 50m, Mendy 50m Ederson 30m, Danilo 30m) in 2017.
