I've no idea who it'll be. I'm not convinced we'll sign anyone else now tbh. I've no doubt they're trying, but I doubt we'll be wasting money on people we don't actually want, just because the ones we want won't join. I reckon we'll save the budget (unless someone of the right ilk becomes available on loan). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's been any amount of players traded recently, but we don't seem to fancy any of them. The ones we like are beyond our budget by the looks of it.

gbandit Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 Eddie is extremely tight-lipped when it comes to transfers and even he says we’re targeting 1-2 players in attacking positions. He wouldn’t be saying that if he wasn’t almost positive we were bringing in at least one player. Honestly man, there’s still three weeks left Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ste Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 Last week of the window alone will throw up all kinds of options that were closed doors at this point of the window.

thomas Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 I'd love to think we'd be thinking of poaching some of that Barca talent that they have to shift due to shit financies but no CL football and a wage structure we're not willing to break make it a non-starter.

Mazzy Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 Depay on a free for 2yrs would be decent. He has ability that's for sure, it's his attitude and mentality that I've always doubted. I'm sure Howe and the staff will check that out if they plan on going for him though, in which case I'd be very excited by his signings if it were to happen. 12 goals in 28 for Barca last season and 20 goals and 12 assists in 37 for Lyon the season before so he's putting up decent stats still. Plus he'll have played with Bruno already which would be a nice bonus. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He played a very disciplined box to box #8 role and really ran the show. I've always wanted to see more of him there for the national side. Tite tried him there a few times and he always seemed to excel. Some sort of box-to-box player in a way. He's not as creative as the absolute best in the world, but he has this knack for timing his runs in a way similar to (although far inferior of course) as Lampard and I think you get more from him coming from a bit deeper. That being said, his biggest asset is his versatility. Really wanted Tite to try him next to Casemiro until the emergence of Bruno. Now I don't care much for Paqueta, only for our Bruno Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

St1pe Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 Always felt Depay is a bit shite. I just don’t see how he fits into our pressing type game. He looks like a West Ham or Everton signing if there ever was one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheInfiniteOdyssey Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 We should be looking at loan deals at this point if budgetary constraints are so keenly felt. Offer a sizeable loan fee with a view to a permanent deal. Hudson-Odoi Pepe Ziyech Lucas Moura Some names perhaps not realistic, but not confident we’re going to be bringing anyone else in on a permanent deal.

Guest dazzanufc1892 Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 Seen depay live a few times. Not even good enough for a team aiming for 14-17 in the table. I’d stay well clear. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ziyech would be brilliant, wouldn’t want any permanent option for Moura. Would take Hudson-Odoi as a last resort, and would go nowhere near Pepe.
