RodneyCisse Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 It’s not going to happen but it would be quite the statement taking a direct rival for top 8s best player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sub-question - do any of you think we are purposely targeting English talent over foreign imports or is it just coincidence that the lions share of the signings have all been English? I've thought this too, seems a significant portion of our recruitment - both on and off the field - are British orientated in some way, too much to be a coincidence imo.

Nine Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 Would be at the top end of the best signings that we could realistically pull off this summer Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 To be fair, Maddison and Paqueta have the same major weakness in that they go missing in games. Its to be expected of those number ten types. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won’t go over this again because everyone get all upset, but it’s a Howe strategy no doubt about it. It’ll work up to a certain point, with Maddisons and Trippiers, but we’ll need a lot less Burns and Targetts moving forward. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 (edited) £40m plus Dubravka. Probably takes it to £50m but no hassle of having to sign a new keeper and you'd have a decent mid-table keeper on your hands.

Abacus Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 This squad 'refresh' that Rodgers is on about seems weird. Can't get rid of the dead wood, so be prepared to sell your better players and gamble on replacing them with better. Unless they've already lined up some exciting new talent, it seems a bit risky. Also, you'd have to wonder why Madison might be keen on the move - we're not a step up on Leicester at the minute. Mind you, that bit came from Luke so the likely source is whatever just came into his head that he thought would get most reaction. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Part of me wonders if the strategy will be to get a base squad with players in the Premier League that actively improve us, and know the league in players like Burn and Targett, obviously Maddison is a cut above them, but you know what I mean, and then when we have a base squad, start dipping into the European market only signing one or two Bruno type players a Window in that £30m to £40m range. Would be a decent strategy to be honest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is Howe's strategy then, make me upset please Is it buying players for great value with Premiership experience when we desperately need them?
