Sign a player for their B club and send them to the A club on loan. It’s all bent as fuck and I’d be amazed if we’re not looking at it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Summer would be a different, as its not this season. A CM to help push Bruno forward in time and a winger to add to our relatively poor numbers in that position aye. Totally get where you coming from - let's see what Hower does. A winger and a CM would also be my priority, too Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanji Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 11 hours ago, Disco said: Pulisic’s way too injury prone and gives off a huge feeling of carrying on like Michael Owen when it comes to playing club games over playing for QSA. Not to mention his entourage are bad news and enjoy attacking his teammates and coaches if he’s not getting minutes. For the likely huge amount price and wages wise he’d cost and whilst he’d be decent I think we could be wiser. He does need to get out of Chelsea though, was always going to be a poor move.

sushimonster85 Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 Don't want to be a downer, but there's no way Felix happens. Both us and Villa being used as bait to draw out other offers. Don't get me wrong, we're only a season or two away from being in a position to have multiple players in the squad on £200k a week (Bruno is bound to be the first when his contract is extended in 2023), but we're not quite there yet.

Yorkie Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 This Felix stuff is so transparent, like. Not a chance we're going anywhere near him. I also think Pulisic is a bit unlikely because there'll be dozens of teams interested and I don't understand why Chelsea would want to improve us. Of the recent links that Marcus Thuram seems a lot more likely. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Player who will absolutely improve our starting 11, can play in all positions across the front 3, and thanks to his contract situation would likely be available for a cut price in Jan.

bowlingcrofty Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 As much as I’d love Joao Felix, we’re not going to spunk the thick end of a year’s worth of budget on one player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
