MrRaspberryJam Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 Honestly, that '40 tweet' thread from Kev has really annoyed me. I've only read the opening tweet and I just know it's going to be a load of wordy nonsense. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try and catch an RB Leipzig game, he is really good. He's tall, strong, quick and technically gifted. Seen him a number of times against prem teams in the Champions League and he was still doing what he typically does. Was also really good against England for Hungary.

He's about as sure a bet that he'd be an 8 or 9 out of 10 signing before even kicking a ball. You wouldn't need to worry about sell-on value because we'd never want to move him on and he'd be the best in his position for the next 8-10 years.

Rice would be perfect, but is there any realistic chance that he comes here? I could see it in a year or two, just not convinced we can make those sort of moves right now.

STM Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 I would love Rice but ultimately it makes zero sense to spend 100m on one player, where we are right now. That's close to the same money we paid for Botman, Bruno, Tripper and Burn combined. When we are down to a case where we need 1/2 special players to complete our team, fine, let's go get a player like Rice. Realistically, we are 2 seasons away from that situation. I know it feels like a Rice or Bellingham are available now but there will be a new wonder kid/special talent on the horizon in 2 years time. We need to hold our nerve and not lose focus. I want a squad of around 13/14 elite players, right now I make it: Trippier Botman Bruno Isak Joelinton Wilson (just about) By my reckoning, we can get 3 this summer and some players with potential.

I really don't want to get too excited about a player until I know that we are his number one destination. For all we didn't sign Paqueta, I always thought that was a deal we could do if we wanted. Rice feels like one of those which is still a year too early. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could see it in a year or two, just not convinced we can make those sort of moves right now. Think it will come down to who actually makes the move, because of the big fee some teams might not act as quickly. This would be where our chance is, I'd imagine we would put an offer in below the crazy valuations if we were to and then you'd just have to hope WH think it's not worth the risk to reject it. Think the problem could be wages. My outlook is we signed Isak and that is madness to me, so who knows what might happen with CL. Does he play alot of games for Man City? Would he want to go to a crazy club like Chelsea? Man U have Casemiro. Spurs, lol. Arsenal I guess would be the obvious choice. Don't think Liverpool are interested? I can't see him going abroad so if we want him we'd have a half decent chance imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
