Amazing player, but think he stays at Brighton for another year, especially with Europa qualification likely sorted. Arsenal seem to be set on Rice which could leave an opportunity open I suppose.

STM Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 (edited) Don't know much about foreign markets but domestic potentials: Arsenal: Tierney, Smith-Rowe Man City: Phillips, Laporte Man United: McTominay Liverpool: None Brighton: Caicedo, Ferguson Villa: None Spurs: None Brentford: Hickey, Rico Henry Fulham: Palhinha Palace, Eze, Olise, Guehi, Anderson, Mitchell Chelsea: None Wolves: Neves (wants Barca) West Ham: Paqueta, Bowen, Rice Bournemouth: Lerma, Billing Forest: Gibbs-White, Johnson Everton: Onana Leicester: Barnes, Maddison, Tielemans Leeds: Harrison, Adams Southampton: Lavia, JWP, KWP Just suggestions of the type we might have on our list.

Mikky Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 I was thinking Kelvin Phillips - I’m convinced Man City are signing Declan Rice for 100m Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Displayname Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 A friend of mine who is a Juve fan was sure we are going sign a player of theirs that runs out of contract this summer. Adrien Rabiot, central midfielder. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pata Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 I did some very basic stat scouting on some names and was a bit surprised by the results. These are all non penalty xG+xA per 90 on Understat: Wilson 0.96 (third in the league only behind Nunez and Haaland) Isak 0.55 Willock 0.50 (he's been really unlucky/poor finisher, expected 7+7 but only 3+6 in reality) ASM 0.50 Murphy 0.48 Almiron 0.41 Then some rumoured targets: Maddison 0.52 Bowen 0.42 Barnes 0.40 Marcus Thuram 0.73 Diaby 0.61 Szoboszlai 0.50 Wirtz 0.47 Kvaratskhelia 0.55 (surprisingly low when everything seemed to go through him for Napoli) Balogun 0.73 David 0.69 Ekitike 0.53 Raphinha 0.89 Nico Williams 0.40 Chukwueze 0.46 Some conclusions, Almiron seems to have the weakest numbers on most stats of our regular attacking players. Seems like a possible opportunity to cash in on his purple patch due to his age but we would miss his workrate. Willock has to remember how to shoot again, think it's a mental block. I'm still a bit terrified about Bundesliga players and none of these outside of Thuram really pop out considering the rumoured prices and the state of defending in that league. Raphinha would be a dream signing but the wages would be a problem. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toontownman Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 RCB, LB, two midfielders and a versatile forward mentioned in several articles. That would be mint and achievable depending on how high we are aiming. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sufi Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 4 hours ago, LionOfGosforth said: Watching Tyneside Life matchday video, he claimed to have chatted with Leicester fans pre-match and they were adamant that locally it's known Maddison has signed a pre-contract agreement with us. Almost certainly bollocks of course. I've seen this as well. Its funny because as a seasoned Football Manager...I can tell you that its impossible for a player to sign a pre-contract when he's got a full year left on his deal. If we were on an expiring contract, it would be more believable. We cant talk to him without talking to his club due to his contract situation.

Sima Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 Maddison isn’t a statement signing now imo. Had we been Europa League maybe but we need to be at a higher tier for our statement signing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilliamPS Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 I think there’ll be a priority order for the signings, probably CM first, and budget might run out before it gets to 5 or even 6 players Even a £150m budget ain’t what it used to be - that might cover only 3 players of the right quality Some parts of the squad will have to wait another year Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

black_n_white Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 Think well spent around 200million, fully expecting Tierney and Maddison to come in at around £30mil each. Hopefully we go big on a center mid. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paullow Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 Botman, Bruno, and Isak should be the blueprint. Those around 21-23 who are among the best players at their club but would see Newcastle, or the Premier League, as a big step up, and can grow and develop with the club, fit in with the wage structure, and be here for years. That Szoboszlai at Leipzig would fit the bill - 22 years old and Hungarian captain. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
