More transfer rumours


midds

Recommended Posts

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

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)

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.

Aye. A massive limitation of our team is there's very little ball retention in the team but especially in midfield.

Gouiri looks talented mind, Ben Arfaesque.


 I really like him but I think his stock is too high for us currently; also can’t see them accepting any less than 40m for him.

Imagine how wor Lucas would feel, man - Bruno and the club giving him bedroom eyes all this while and then signing all his midfield buddies but not him.[emoji38]

The fact that you could sign Aouar/Fabian for the cost for Wor Lucas is a no brainer

 

although I would love Wor Lucas like

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).

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.

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.

Bloody hell, he's built like a brick shithouse. Imagine the aerial fret with him, Sven and Wood (lol) lining up for corners.

And Burn.

can’t see us getting him though- he wants to leave Bayern to get regular football, not play back up to Wilson. He’s linked with replacing Haller at Ajax or Kalajdzic at Stuttgart.

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

I wonder if we'll be looking to keep any senior players on in a reserves-only capacity, like it seems a lot of the clubs in Europe are doing. 

 

I'm hoping that'll be Dummett's role.

Pope, Dubravka, Darlow

 

Trippier, Krafth

Botman, Schar, Burn, Lascelles

Targett, Lewis, Dummett

 

Bruno, Joelinton, Shelvey, Willock, Longstaff

ASM, Fraser, Almiron, Murphy

 

Wilson, Wood

 

 

That's 23 with your lot jettisoned, so only leaves two gaps. Suggests to me that one of the wingers needs to go too; ideally Murphy for me.
