cubaricho Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 Imagine Bruno, Bellingham, and Maddison as our midfield three ffs. We’d win the World Cup with that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shak Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 No reason at all we can't make a serious run at Bellingham. There are a decent few teams out there that'll be able to offer him something better, not many of them though. If we make an offer that Dortmund accept and none of those teams are willing and ready to make a move then I think we'd be very attractive to Bellingham. Odds are we wouldn't get him but it's not an outrageous notion. Howe has shown he can get results without a massive rebuild, we can afford to just add a couple of players every window and with our growing revenues I think we should aim as high possible and I think we will.

Lush Vlad Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 I’d genuinely loved to be proved wrong. On the Bellingham thing, I mean. Ana De Armas is just a wet dream, I mean pipe dream. But the most sought after young midfielder in Europe. Who probably goes for £120m plus and could easily command £250k a week plus. I just cannot see it at this stage. We have a bit further to go yet.

Shak Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 Disappointed in your attitude, tbh. I'm going to make it my business to have sex with Ana De Armas in the coming weeks, perhaps then you'll see what can be achieved with a positive attitude.

Ikon Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 I say strike while the iron is hot! Don’t need many players. But get 1-2 of real quality plus that WH RB and we are more than fine. We have a very very good chance now. Especiallywith other teams looking very up and down at best. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Spaceman Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 Got to be careful when adding at this stage, given how well we're doing. I'd be more inclined to want to add prospects over first team replacements. The needless addition of Tino in 96/97 or whenever it was still irks me when we could have done with a quality keeper at the time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prophet Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 For anyone unable to access, on the transfer front... Howe wants a young right back, a midfielder and a versatile forward. Leicester's valuation of Maddison probably means a January deal is unworkable. They've looked at Ashby, Santos and Perrone. They've discussed Marcus Thuram, who only has six months left on his contract. We'll only sign a first team player if the right player becomes available at the right price. So what we expected really. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then Thuram, who could come in and be a difference maker without breaking the bank given his contract situation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr.Spaceman Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 (edited) Only worthwhile doing that if we bring someone else in, otherwise we're leaving ourselves short, surely? 31 minutes ago, aussiemag said: I think it’s also worth remembering, that the current ownership like to consistently play things down to the media. Anything can happen in January. This is a good point, worth remembering. I also think we're a lot more streetwise these days, not just identifying one player and making it obvious they're our one and only target. Conversations with agents will be vastly different to how they were two years ago. Edited December 2, 2022 by Dr.Spaceman Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as wide options go, he's behind Maxi, Isak, Almiron & Murphy. We've also seen Joelinton/Willock alternating on the left. There's enough depth there to justify letting him go.

Dr.Spaceman Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 What a weird signing he's been. Came with a bit of promise after a decent spell at Bournemouth but never really nailed a place down and often drifted through games where you forgot he was playing. He has put in a few decent shifts for us over the last year or so, but then who hasn't when given the chance? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
