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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzz Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 Cash would be an awful long term replacement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 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 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He ticks all the boxes. So much potential there. Brighton would probably cash in too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keegans Export Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tgarve Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 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? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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).

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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeloEmre Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 How much would we get for ASM now? £25-30m? I would support selling him if that helped us towards signing a player like Diaby or Mudryk. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the squad players will give us little or nothing in transfer fees and if a player like ASM could generate cash to make a even better player coming in it should be done.

midds Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 Yeah, we need to add to the good players we've already got rather than sell them. Not ASMs biggest fan but I'd love to see him in a team that has other threats so he enjoys a bit more space and a bit less doubling-up on him to nullify him. Stretch the opposition the full width of the pitch with a bit of quality up front and on the right and see what he can do. Pace is lethal and he's got loads of it, rather have him on the pitch than £25m in the bank Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let’s see how he does when fit and with more space to opposite but if he struggles rest of the season I can see us signing a legitimate alternative (maybe Isak is that already) and I’m not sure how ASM responds to that.

STM Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 At what point can we start poaching players from the already usurped greedy 6 clubs. Remember when City signed Sterling?

Other than being out of contract in 18 months so might be relatively cheap, I’d prefer a lot of other potential signings before him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 There's no hiding place for ASM. He will either fight his way back into the team, through his performances or someone like Milan will come in for him in the summer and we will allow him to leave. I don't see any scenario where ASM stays as a squad player for a prolonged period. Nor would I expect him to. If he went to a big club in Italy or Germany, he'd tear the place up.
