Now That's What I Call Transfer Rumours! 7

Given the complete change in playing style I don't think we actually need a 'destroyer' in the middle now as essentially we've got the front 6 playing so high that they're all destroyers. During the summer I was totally in favour of it and playing Bruno higher but I've changed my mind. Someone like Merino would be perfect, technically sound, can run all day, tackles/intercepts and also bring the ball forward and pick a pass too.

Back to Angelo Gabriel - he's 17 and already top 2 or 3 (according to Wyscout data) in the Brasilian top league in dribbles, progressive passes, through balls, smart passes, basically all the stuff we need from our attacking players. He's obviously raw but already making huge impacts in league matches against much more experienced players, and he's part of the national team U20 setup.  

 

He looks like he's got all the makings of a future star. The kind of player we need to snap up and mold in our image

I think there's a chance he leaves in January if they drop out of the Champions League (currently third in their group).

 

Would be a remarkable signing, I'd probably say still a bit beyond us but you can never say never, especially if Yasir fancies it...

It’s just a no brainer - how old is he? 21 

 

I mean the prospect of our coaches getting their hands on him

Looking at potential PL targets, i went for players who I felt fitted certain profiles, I.e mainly young, mainly British. One that stood out for me was Emile Smith-Rowe, who doesn't start for Arsenal but has massive potential.

 

Tielemans (out of contract)

Shaw (out of contract)

Trossard (out of contract)

 

Maddison

Barnes

Emile Smith-Rowe

Buendia

Ramsey

Pulisic

Broja

Lamptey

Soucek (contract up in 2024)

Gordon

Holgate

Mitchell

Eze

Walker-Peters

Harrison

Gelhardt

So how do we solve that for the first team?

Well, a lot of the time going forward, we're going to be against sides where we can likely get a good grip of possession. There's only about 5 teams I'd not be confident of that. It's those games you need a Sangare-esque type of player to step in and push Bruno up, or be a sub option to do this where we're against the run of play/under the cosh.

Mark Douglas a while back said we we’re keeping an eye on Mudryk, I certainly wouldn’t rule it out.

 

 

Mark Douglas just talks up wonderkids and young players. I guarantee he will link us to Kvaradona soon.

I think we're interested in Mudryk and have an outside chance because a case can be made that we'd throw a lot at signing young players with a view to the future given our recent transfer market activity. Being more shrewd with older players to blend in with them.

Happy enough with it just being plausible.
