Deli Ali appears he may need somewhere to go, would Howe sort him out, or am I being stupid , Trips may have an influence on him

 

Dele is way too far gone, and on top of that didn't really suit Howe's defensive intensity even at his best. So not a chance of us having anything to do with him.

We've just qualified for the Champions League ffs. [emoji38]

 

I'd expect us to make a few big signings, despite any noises coming out of the club. It doesn't do us any good if other clubs are expecting us to go crazy. I'd expect the owners to take advantage of this opportunity where we've qualified for the CL probably 3 or 4 years ahead of schedule. Spend money and make the right signings and you have the potential to go far in the competition, as well as have a better chance of qualifying again. If it was just 2 or 3 and then just relying on the current squad, you might end up 6th or 7th next year and it be a lot harder to get a higher standard of player in.

Branco van den Boomen from Toulouse on a free, anyone?

 

Weirdest player ever. Ajax academy, joined Toulouse when they were relegated, posted massive scoring and assist stats in Ligue 2. Now in Ligue 1 and posting impressive numbers for shot-creating actions, progressive passes and key passes. Basically a stats monster.

 

Plays as a number 8, so could be a useful backup to Bruno. Good in dead ball situations and not afraid of a "Schar long pass" as well. Only drawback is that he's a little old at 27.

He is like a budget Bruno Fernandes. Could be a very interesting signing.

Kane doesn’t have the legs to suit our style from the front, he’ll drop deep and bring in play yes but I think having a less physical forward in that position would hinder rather then help no matter how prolific they are.

The quotes from that article so as few of us as possible have to visit the mail's site:

Quote

I’d love to keep the squad together this summer - if we can strengthen rather than weaken,’

 

‘Dan (Ashworth) has made the point to me about trading being an important part of our future. That does not necessarily mean selling your best players, but trading with FFP rules can be a good thing for your finances.'

 

‘The club will also be very keen to protect their assets and be ahead of the curve in terms of contract length and make sure we’re in a strong position, but also recognising players who have done well and rewarding them for their performances.’

 

‘Unfortunately, players don’t come cheap, especially good players. We are going to have to spend a certain amount of money. How much that is I don’t know. I still don’t know what my budget is at this moment in time, but there will have to be some expenditure.

 

‘It will have to be controlled. It will have to be under FFP restrictions. They are definitely impacting us and what we will be able to do. But I have a vision of what I want to do with the team and what I think we need. I can put my point across in my own way without being forceful.’

 

Will there be scope for a marquee signing?

 

‘Yes, there would be players we’d love to bring in that would be classified in that bracket, I’m sure,’

 

‘For me, it’s more about the role they can fulfil in the team, whether that’s viewed positively or as a marquee signing then great. I’m not in my mind thinking, “We have to have one of those players that ticks that box for the supporters”. As much as I’d love to do that, it’s about finding the right player in the right position who I think makes us better.

 

‘The Champions League makes us more attractive and desirable to players, to a point. But we have challenges ahead, it's not as easy as everyone thinks to navigate the transfer market. 

 

There is always a bump in the road you've got to navigate yourself around, so it's not going to be a slam dunk. This will be our hardest window to date. In my mind, there is no doubt about that because the pool of players we have to select from is very small.’

I’d take Toney over Kane tbh. I’d even consider a low ball offer and take him while he’s banned. Not that we could get Kane anyway.

 

Still feel we missed an opportunity with Pacqueta. Might have been to do with FFP, who knows. He’s a far bigger unit than he looks on TV, think he’s got a big season coming up.

Still think we’ll see a spend in region of £150m-£175m over 5 or 6 players, with the bulk of that on 3 or 4 biggies with a free or a couple of youngsters making up the rest 

 

Yeah, I think this is what our summer will look like too.

I always take articles mentioning a certain budget with a pinch of salt as no one will know our budget, Eddie howe even said he didn't know it yet, yet Hope does! [emoji38]

 

I even take what Howe says about transfers with a pinch of salt. He gives nothing away and plays everything down.

Just from the top of my head what id like to see/similar. I don’t mind getting AG only and not some crazy expensive right sided player. 
 

Arda Guler 15m

 

Szoboszlai 50m

Thuram 40m

 

Augusto 15m

Todibo/Lacroix 35m 

Random RB cover/loan maybe

Agreed. He is really solid. Good friends with Bruno. I've watched the hammers a bit this season and he is absolutely class. I'd pay 50m for him no questions asked.
