Now That's What I Call Transfer Rumours! 7

[McCormick]

If the rumoured price is 50m then we’d be getting a bit of a dud in Ugarte. As I’ve said before, he’s so frustrating to watch; dawdles too much on the ball and even in acres of space he’ll usually give a hospital pass to players right next to him. If Howe can get him to look up and pass through the lines quickly, he could become a decent 6 for our system but you’d hope you’re getting somebody ready-made for that kind of fee.

I'll be shocked if it isn't City or Chelsea, but...

We wouldn't disrupt our wage structure for him, methinks. And I'm doubtful about his fitness, especially under a Howe intensity regime.

[JonBez comesock]

Alex Scott - Bristol City 

Benson - Burnley 

 

£25m x 2

 

Would be ideal

I defo want one "wow" star like Isak mind. Fairly certain I won't be disappointed.

Fati is finished*, man. Injuries have destroyed his pace and agility.

 

*as a world class prospect I mean. Still obviously young enough to forge a very good career for himself but I’d hope we’re not in for him at that price. Guy’s living off his initial hype at the moment.

We haven’t got long to wait really, it’ll all start kicking off in a few weeks as things start getting resolved.

Sadly I have to agree with this - it’s a huge risk given his lack of football

Fati is finished?

 

He's become the new Bojan.

K. Thuram looks a like real talent though imo.

I would love for us to sign him, since we've been linked I've watched him a few times

 

He's not just a sitting midfielder, he's quite dynamic so would give us options to play about that midfield rather than someone who would just sit as a pure 6

OK, that potential Vitor Roque transfer has me fully engorged.

 

If we could pull that off (so to speak), it would be an enormous statement to the rest of the footballing world. He is a world class prospect. Insanely exciting player.

The 39ers!

Roque, Thuram, Diaby and Tobido/Lacroix in the summer.

If you sell St Max for 40 million it would probably still be an investment of over 150 million in the 4.

 

Still not sure if I want to let St Max go, he’s been electric when fit this season and signs of real all round improvement in his game. I’m not convinced Diaby is an upgrade on him, but he would hopefully play more games and looks a talent.

 

If I was letting St Max go I’d be far happier if Kvaradona or Leao was his replacement and a guaranteed upgrade.

 

Nice problems to have though and be interesting if to see if they cash in on St Max this summer.

Would be a brilliant summer, would still be short a DM though as Thuram is more box to box isn’t he ?

Bit of an all rounder but after watching some highlight reels i get the feeling he’s more suited to the way we play than say Ugarte. He’s not adverse to putting a foot in either, he looks a unit, athletic and technically good.

Diaby really plays on the right and scores a lot more goals than ASM. I don't want to lose ASM either but would gladly drop him for Leao.

We don’t need a DM. We don’t need to play that way.

Don’t disagree but by all accounts it’s our number one priority this summer.

[The Prophet]

I'd be happy to have another all rounder like Lavia, Kone or Thuram if they'd the way we want to go. But almost every club has a more traditional number six. Rodri at City, Partey at Arsenal, Fabinho at Liverpool, Casemiro at Man United, etc.
