kingxlnc Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 (edited) Milinković-Savić apparently available for 25M as he enters final year of contract next year. Him and Dominik Szobolai as the two midfield pickups would be amazing. Although would like Guler too. Longstaff, Joelinton, Joe Willock, Bruno, Milinkovic Savic, Dominik Szobolai, Guler is an absolutely drool worthy midfield It's that mixture of experience and youth, technical ability and guile and bite and creativity, too. Get Vitor Roque to support alongside Wilson and Isak that's looking pretty amazing - for around 120M and 3 additions. Get Guerrerio free agent for LB, N'Dicka free agent for CB and M. Thuram free agent for CF. Then it leaves us with 70-80m for a world class RW - Diaby etc for 60-80m. Job done.

Displayname Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 Is it overkill to get both Maddison and Szoboszlai? Cant decide which one of them i want the most. Think Szoboszlai can play on the wing aswell. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 1 hour ago, Tiresias said: Looking forward to it! It is going to be a balancing act, I love this squad, there are going to be hard decisions and people who have done great left behind or leave, but I want it to grow organically as they have done so far. I wonder if some are going to be disappointed with it, next season is very conceivably going to be harder going in the league, Man U will be better, Liverpool will be better, Chelsea could be better (doubt it tbh) and Villa and Brighton could both be better. Hopefully we have a deeper squad with still the same positivity. I don't think we'll be losing any key players, we'll just add two or three really high class ones and the likes of Almiron, Wilson, ASM etc will be rotated more. We will need two teams anyway, Howe has already said this, so can't see players leaving unless they want out themselves - which could happen if they aren't starting enough games.

That versatility is going to be important with more games next year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCormick Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 (edited) maybe. Wouldn’t be my first choice for sure, but there’s enough there for Howe to work with (at the right price). Hope we go for someone better though, obviously. Edited May 23, 2023 by McCormick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's basically saying only really good players are going to be on our radar, and that's what they would have to be to get in ahead of some our lads who got us to the CL. Gordon was one of our leading targets in the summer and he's struggled to fight his way in. Obviously we do need to upgrade and improve the team, but that means some really top drawer players will need to be sourced. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't it be to put pressure on the clubs with targets that we are after? Something like "sell to us before we get our other target and are done with the transfer window".

McCormick Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 (edited) Selling clubs obviously have prices they will let their players go for and Howe’s answers in an interview will have zero bearing on that. Best to take him at face value and not assume he’s lying in some devious ploy to pressure other clubs to sell or whatever.
