In positively jizzy at the thought of who we might get in to sustain this European charge.

I get the impression that Maddison will hold out for a CL team in London, either in this window or the next.

Arsenal, then?

Wonder if we could get Enzo Fernandez. Only been at Benfica 6 months but they’re out the CL now. Definitely looks like the next big thing alongside Bellingham.

 

 

Eh didn’t Benfica win their group?

Pretty much

Yes, sorry . No idea where I dreamt that up.

Arsenal- won't sign Maddison as they have Odegaard.

 

City- Yes but that would be indulgent and Pep has said they aren't spending.

 

Chelsea- would throw silly wages at Maddison and I could see them being willing to pay more but would he see them as a good project?

 

Spurs- think they will target other areas, doesn't really suit their system.

 

Liverpool- I think Maddison would be an amazing signing for Liverpool, perhaps an alternate to Bellingham.

 

Man United- They should be looking at him but they have just signed Antony, Casemiro and Eriksen and again there's talk of a lack of funds.

 

In short, if we have done our work, we have as good a chance as any. We'd have to make him our top earner, I suspect.

Would Matty Cash be a decent backup (I know he's 25 y/o) to Trippier? Don't know what he'd cost us though.

[Yorkie]

Can't see us signing a RB who's a starter at another club given they'll definitely be second-fiddle to Trippier and Krafth will be back in contention once fit. Might go back in for that Ashby seeing as he's rejected a contract at the Hammers. Manquillo's time is surely up though aye. 

 

If Maddison is no longer realistic I signing I assume we'll go Brazilian; feels a bit 'no smoke without fire' where those links are concerned. 

[Pilko]

Drameh (right-back) from Leeds linked in their local paper today - just played against our U23 side the other week & fits the bill, similar age and level of experience to Ashby who we tried to get last time.

Matty Cash is more likely to be a long term replacement to Trippier than a back up.

 

For me, unless you are binning off Krafth, it has to be a CB who can play RB. Preferably someone young with technical ability who can be Schars understudy.

[buzz]

Cash would be an awful long term replacement.  

[joeyt]

Someone like Lamptey could be a decent back up. He's not getting much of a game at Birghton but if we could get his fitness and injury record we could drip him into the first team when Trippier needs rotated while also providing a threat with his pace

Yeah I suggested him a couple of weeks ago.

 

He ticks all the boxes. So much potential there. Brighton would probably cash in too.

[Keegans Export]

Lamptey is a great shout. 

 

Injury record would be a serious concern but with the talent he has, you'd take the risk if it's a reasonable fee.

[PeepShow4life]

Lamptey just so we can have the tallest and shortest fullbacks in the world.

Good thread here

Beat me to it good read and some new names mentioned.

[TRC]

Lamptey is incredibly overated at this point. 

[buzza]

Watchin Fulham Manu, if we ever wanted a ball playing CDM who is good in the prem, fulham’s Palhina is some player!

absolutely in charge of the midfield…

[Tiresias]

Yeah they rave about him

[tgarve]

I honestly would sign a left back - a trippier style left back …

 

Maddison or someone of that ilk would be good 

 

this is going to be controversial but would you sell ASM? 

[Ikon]

I hope we go for a wide forward. If we do then between a left/right sided I think I’d go for a left sided one.  Didn’t think I’d say this before the season started. Unlikely but Mudryk would be a dreamy signing. Blooody explosive with end product.

I agree I think we need some more firepower to open teams up and creativity to take the pressure off Bruno and give more bench impact. I agree with people about a RB coming in who can cover for Trippier at least til end of the season though I’d say left back is more pressing (but will likely be addressed in summer).

I can see how that could make sense, yes. Eddie seems to be on the lookout for a wide attacking player in a 4-3-3, and of the three main ones that we have (ASM, Almiron, Isak), I can see ASM being the most vulnerable. He plays very much as an individual, and while I think he's tried to adjust, I also think he's struggled with Eddie's team emphasis on and off the pitch. If selling him frees up the funding to bring in a more compatible player, then it would make sense.
