That still means Bruno will be playing deep a lot of the time.

 

We need more of a DM to get him further up the pitch

Both Maddison and Szo predominantly have played both ACM/ARM so can be pushed up or interchanged if tactics require it. We’d have good options to unlock low press and be fucking outstanding playing a team that comes out to attack us. Would sort the right side out.

Would love us to get Rice. Sure we would go for him, if he’d come. 

[The Prophet]

Absolutely no way we're buying both with CM and LB to sort out and the former requiring two buys.

[ponsaelius]

A creative attacking midfielder who can play wide, #10 and in a midfield 3 against weaker sides does sort of make sense. It's a profile we don't really have. Particularly if they can also shoot from distance and take set pieces.

 

I don't watch much Germany football so don't know a huge amount about the Hungarian but from what I have seen he seems a bit more robust and physical than Maddison and more likely to adapt to our style of play. But Maddison has the advantage of already being PL proven.

I know bruno thinks he should play football further up the pitch but unless we get a real top end DM who can play football like Rice or Caqueret or Ugarte then I do wonder if Bruno has the engine to play a pressing 8. His current role allows him to dictate our entire attacking play when we set up in the final 3rd. We need engines around him and we need one of them to have the ability to drop back or cover for him when he’s out playing the balls into the half space   

[Kanj]

If the Ferran Torres rumors are true

 

Ferran Isak Szo/Maddison

JL/Willock Bruno Longie/Thuram

 

oooof. 

[Shak]

Fairly sure we're happy with either and are making it very clear it's one of the other to let the selling clubs know we won't be held to ransom if they push for too much.

 

Also entirely possible we just want one of them and are trying to make it appear that way for leverage.

 

Fucking great that we're not just gonna throw the asking price at teams and worry about FFP later.

He’s the one that I want 

[TheInfiniteOdyssey]

I know our interest in Maddison is long-standing and genuine, but Szoboszlai just seems a better fit for our recruitment strategy and overarching vision for the club. 

 

Spoiler

I’d rather Maddison mind

Hope saying budget likely to be closer to 150 million 

We spent £123M last summer and then have the 4th place epl money + new shirt sponsor. £150M sounds about right.

Aye both are play maker types that'd play in the right hand half space. Szoboszlai has more natural talent and is more accustomed to playing a high pressing style, lower wages too. Maddison is Premier League proven and would probably come cheaper. It's also a bit of a risk buying at a premium from the Bundesliga unless you're absolutely sure.

 

I'd be delighted with either. Szoboszlai comes with more risk, but potentially more reward too.

If they’re sure and have done the homework on character then out of the 2 Szo is a go go 

[Kanj]

Fine with either. Just know that’s the type of player we need. 

[Skeletor]

A day since the season ended and no new signings. Acceptable?

[Ikon]

The two players i want the most in this coming window is Szoboszlai and Arda Guler.

He's considered a leader in the dressing room too. On a side note, his Mrs is sensational.
