STM Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 Again the targets we have will be young, mouldable, versatile and with mega potential. It's highly unlikely we go for anyone closing in on 30. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikejaxer Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 Quote Interestingly, during the summer, Howe was reluctant to allow Martin Dubravka to go on loan to Manchester United, particularly considering how that club had handled negotiations over the potential transfer of Jesse Lingard the previous January.

LV Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 When Ashworth was at Brighton, the whole policy of the club was to never stand in the way of someone who wanted to leave. It even applied to himself. We’ve probably inherited some of the same policy I’d have thought. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 (edited) Don’t remember him getting much right. Absolutely no chance we get him for 14m :lol Probably cost at least 25m I’d guess. Probably quite a bit more. I want this signing. Edited December 26, 2022 by Ikon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Selling youth players counts towards FFP income, but I don’t think currently that purchasing them does, which is why the likes of Chelsea and Man City have previously stockpiled countless numbers and loaned them out for years before selling them.

STM Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 Feel sorry for Jonjo but it's a blessing because it will speed up our search for a CM. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERTOON Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 I remember when Shelvey got injured in the summer it made us try for another CM, links to Alvarez and Tielemans come to mind. I do think the news of this injury will see us being someone else in now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheInfiniteOdyssey Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 (edited) Based on absolutely nothing, I think Tielemans signs a pre-contract agreement with a foreign team next month. I don’t think he will stay in the Premier League. Edited December 26, 2022 by TheInfiniteOdyssey Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pushed for by him primarily. Think it's obvious. Saudi are trying to bid for 2030 world cup and so Ronaldo is to their project what Neymar and Mbappe and Messi were to Qatar's. They'd want Ronaldo at their primary club in some way I imagine. Gabby agbonlahor is that you? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s got to be a really physical midfielder like Sangare or someone to unlock a defence like Maddison if where signing a midfielder. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbandit Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 Really hard to say what to do with the squad right now. Everyone is playing out of their skin. A young right back is obviously key and a ball-playing left back is probably part of future windows. You look at Almiron and he’s going nowhere, you look at Joelinton and I don’t want him going anywhere. It’s only really Willock and Longstaff who start that are under threat as starters currently but I love Willock and Longstaff is doing everything right, certainly from a defensive point of view. It’s basically depth we need but you’d imagine any player we sign in January will be of the quality that they’ll want to start and they should start so it’s a strange window. I guess we’ll just have to see how January goes with fixtures, injuries and form Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Young right back likely too. Shelveys injury might make them have a think about misfield too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
