Wonder if we'll target Neves following Wolves' financial crisis being revealed

Hope not unless we are selling Bruno and he's the replacement. He's slower than Bruno and just as shit a tackler on occasions.

Its a really good time to scavenge off other clubs who have fallen on hard times. Its been done to us countless times. I'm curious to see if we go in for the Lavia/Ward-Prowse/Maddison/Neves caliber players. It would be poetic justice.

If we were selling Bruno I would expect us to aim higher. If he was relatively cheap would be an absolutely fine squad option

I'd love Paqueta but it feels impossible. If we could ever clone Bruno...it would be Paqueta. Hes fucking incredible. Always right in the thick of things, extremely talented and also hes a close friend of Bruno. Lets get it done. Whats the most you would be fine with paying for Paqueta? Im cool with 40-50m. Much prefer him to Maddison

I think I see a problem here.

When that transfer happened my first thought was that's an odd move for him.

 

This guy is a starter for Brazil let's not forget, so surely he can't be overly happy with his choice so far. Other than the final they've some how found themselves, it's been a shocking season for them.

 

He must be watching Bruno with a tiny bit of jealousy. I don't see him staying at West Ham for very long, more of a shop window for him. Don't think we go for him though tbh.

West Ham bought him for £51m and he’s under contract until 2027 with another years option. I think you’d have to pay significantly more now.

We are desperate for a midfielder unlocking a low block. 


This is true. Who do you have in mind? 

I think Paqueta Joelinton Bruno in midfield would be terrifying to play against. Bruno and Paqueta can both unlock a low block.

They arent better than Maddison to execute that killer pass. Realistically we wont find any better in the PL than Maddison. Like the look of Szoboszlai, and who will benefit us best thats up to debate.

What price for Maddison if they get relegated? 35-40? I know about his contract and all that but I doubt they would sell him for say 30m. 35m for him would be a very good deal imo.

Lots of media chat about them wanting £50m but just can’t see that figure being realised. £35m, I reckon.

Great is not exactly a term for the cream of the crop though, Yes he's not like a Modric level midfielder (yet), but he's right up there.

 

Think great describes him perfectly.

I’d consider Modric great. He’s better than Bruno.

 

Thats fine you describe him how you want. Just find it funny how defensive fans get of their own players particularly their favourites when described merely as very good ?

To me the scale goes:

 

Awful - Poor - average - good - great - world class 

 

I’d say Bruno is great and modric world class

It's just a difference of opinion. No more.

Expensive backup for Rodri.

 

Stones basically plays in midfield next to Rodri now anyway and drops back into CB out of possession. Pep might see Rice as a better version of him in that role.

Paqueta is stuck at West Ham, no one will pay the money necessary to get him out and he will spend most of his prime years there. It was always a horrible career move.

Like I said earlier I don’t have a world class bracket. Maybe a genius bracket though so similar.

Just a difference of vocabulary. We probably both love him and love watching him play and agree he’s not in top tier ???

Complete misfit of a club and a manager for him

In some ways yes, but there are also worse situations than making £40M over five years while living in London. West Ham looked a lot more promising on the back of last season.
