Disco Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 He turned down a move to Villa in Jan because he didn’t want to leave bilbao didn’t he? He’s class like, proper old school dribbler. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still think it'll be a difficult signing to pull off - rare that Athletic players move on so early in their careers. I think that we were looking to get one of them in January, but to eventually have both, as they play opposite sides. In La Liga once a release clause is met that's that. You don't even contact the club in question you just approach the football federation regarding paying the clause and you can then negotiate with the player.

Then sell ASM and replace him with someone like Barnes or even Harrison if they go down. ASM is unreliable. Class on his day, but unreliable. Replacing ASM with someone like Harrison isn't something a CL club should do. Not that convinced about Barnes either tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt1892 Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 I think it will be Antonee Robinson signed at left back and Brennan Johnson for the right side attacker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antonee’s not going to take us up another level. He’s got great pace and is like offer a lot going forward but he’s not an amazing defender. Whoever we get at LB needs to be either already very good at both ends of the pitch or destined to be very good at both ends Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 LB is going to be the hardest position to recruit. Finding a good defender is fine, finding a flying full back is fine but you rarely find both. Need our scouting team to be on the ball. Tierney might be the best bet, if he can prove his fitness. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whoever we get at LB needs to be either already very good at both ends of the pitch or destined to be very good at both ends I’m not saying he is someone I would pick but I think Howe will look for Premier League experience in that position and Robinson ticks a lot of boxes in terms of experience and age, as well as being someone he can develop. while not being a flashy signing he will be a decent upgrade on Burn at left back and will bring more balance to the whole team.

ponsaelius Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 (edited) He's never looked anything like a player who can play at that level to me when I've seen him mind. Not even sure he's better than Targett tbh. Edited May 8, 2023 by ponsaelius Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holloway Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 (edited) Undisclosed fee for Rice but I reckon 80m ish, wages are another matter. Would be up a height if we got him Edited May 8, 2023 by Holloway Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s the only one that would potentially make decent money for us. At some point, we will have to be selling players to make money and also improve our FFP figures (as all other top clubs do), as well as improving the squad at the same time. Ritchie and Dummett are both out of contract this summer. Can’t see Fraser or Lewis making any money for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
