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 Truffert - £15m A Disasi - £35m K Thuram - £40m D Szabozlai - £60m J Maddison - £35m N Williams - £40m Probably overspent there but so be it - strap me in for the ride Edited May 26, 2023 by Mikky Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikky Posted May 26, 2023 Share Posted May 26, 2023 I have a feeling that we are going to play with 1 out and out winger next season - hence why I believe we will go for Maddison and Szabozlai Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt1892 Posted May 26, 2023 Share Posted May 26, 2023 1 hour ago, Smal said: ‘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.' This is the point I made the other day regarding the club selling ASM. If ASM was bought for £20 million over 6 years then he has an account value of about £6.6 million. Wilson would have an account value of about £5 million. Almiron would have an account value of about £3.8 million. Joelinton would have an account value of about £13.3 million. Schar would have an account value of £0. This isn’t saying we should sell our best players and the above is only a guide to their value after amortisation. However, if we want to manoeuvre in the transfer market then those who do not have a long term future at the club should be viewed as open to offers. The issue we do have is unlike the sky top six we do not have a reserve of players that have been here for a long period of time with any sort of resale value.

Sufi Posted May 26, 2023 Share Posted May 26, 2023 I can actually see us switching to 4-2-3-1 for many matches next season. Would be really interesting to see 3 fluid players at RW, CAM, LW who can pop up anywhere. I'd like a few of the following players. Obviously we wont be able to afford all of them in one window. I'd like Szaboslai for the right price. Maddison would be cool. Le Fee. Lavia. Warde-Prowse. Chukwueze. Solid CB like Kim min Jae which seems unlikely.. Gift Orban Backup GK Im not big on Diaby he seems very ASM to me. I'm against us breaking the bank on one player. I'd prefer if we spend 20-45m on each position of need. We can also utilize free transfers, its a really good season to go for that and we have a lot to offer to players on a free. We have like 10 players to sell. Curious to see how much we can generate from these. I can see there being interest from the Championship and L1 but I can also see the fees being low and some players wanting to stay on their wages.

I agree re: Diaby - in attack he is awesome but his defensive contribution would totally expose the fullback and invite pressure off the ball - Raphinha on the other hand would be the dogs.

KaKa Posted May 26, 2023 Share Posted May 26, 2023 Some Ferran Torres rumours have come up, with claims he's been discussed due to his experience at Man City in the prem and his versatility, as he can play either side and up top. Only just turned 23 years old too, which surprised me. Think he'd be a really great pick up if true. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be down for him but the price will be the major factor there. He's perfect for us. Not at 70m with huge wages. I think there is better value for money on the continent.

Sufi Posted May 26, 2023 Share Posted May 26, 2023 I'd like us to stay away from the sexy big money signings. I think we should go back into markets that have served us well. Namely France where we got 2 of our best players in Botman and Bruno. I think theres tons of value in that league. Germany scares me a bit just due to the fact that its a completely different style over there where every game seems to be end to end with no real defending. IF we didnt get Tierney..how would you guys feel about Theo Hernandez. Hes a captain at Milan. Hes such a fucking good player. Always getting stuck in, provides so much for his side. I doubt he would want to leave but I could see him being a legend for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he needs a new start? Yeah, he's surprisingly young still, and I think he just got lost in the recent transfer chaos at Barca. Has always shown flashes of quality, but has been at Man City and Barca most recently where he hasn't really gotten consistent game time. Think he'd be an Isak and Bruno calibre of signing, and at £30 million would be a really great deal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
