Now That's What I Call Transfer Rumours! 7

I wonder if we adapt our strategy this summer to targeting more non PL players, we take on more risk that way but the upside is also potentially far higher not to mention the absurd value that can be found outside the PL (think Bruno and Botman). It will come down to who the targets are and the confidence management have in each individual one but I feel we might break the trend we have seen so far of the majority of our incomings having prior PL experience. 
 

The fact we are in Europe likely won’t change the planned financial outlay in terms of fees/wages, but it will change the targets and amplify the need for depth across some of our key positions. Dipping into the European market may be a way of balancing that out.

60m?!

 

I’m sure last season the prices quoted were closer to 20m. 

Was that not for Marcus who is out of contract this summer?

I know he’s had a good season but going up to 60m for him is madness.

 

There's interest for him this summer from the wrong clubs i.e. PSG and Chelsea, so wouldn't be surprised, unfortunately.

They are not going to get 60 for Thuram. Its mental. 

Might as well just pay the Manuel Ugarte release clause £53m or go in for Kone or Lavia. We have several options for defensive midfielder.

Don't these clubs have FFP issues?

 

Man, I really don't know, they're still getting linked with all and sundry so apparently not.

Can't we just sign all the Thurams

 

Perhaps we can. If we have to pay a little over the odds to get one of them and he can convince the other to sign for free, it's probably worth it.

I think Thuram is just as good as Ugarte, and even more suited to our system. Dont think hes worth that release clause. Both is way above. As you say there are several options.

Thuram isn’t a 6 though - his position is similar to Longstaff

I dont care as much who we exactly sign, Ugarte, Thuram, Szoboszlai, Maddison... Those are all good names. As long as it is a player of that caliber and not McTominay, I'm happy.
