Obviously the kid has a lot of contacts so things get out. Truth, semi truth and out right lies. I don't know him or his family, some on here do, so it's quite specific, that he signs on his birthday so worth putting out there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted May 26, 2023 Share Posted May 26, 2023 Thing is as well, as a toon fan he'll be buzzing were heading to the CL. That the likes of longstaff are playing a massive part in that. In comparison the mood is glum on wearyside for throwing away their best chance to come up and could take 5-10 years before they get that chance again.

ExiledGeordie Posted May 26, 2023 Share Posted May 26, 2023 (edited) 26 minutes ago, SUPERTOON said: Yes please Kudus certainly fits the bill in terms of the age and potential as does K Thuram as an no6 signing. Our summer signings will blend this type of player with the likes of Maddison, Tierney I’d say. That’s a good mix of premier league ready with exciting potential to go with the players we’ve already signed who now have some premier league experience. We’ll be able to maximise our transfer kitty too. Edited May 26, 2023 by ExiledGeordie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledGeordie Posted May 26, 2023 Share Posted May 26, 2023 We need more ruthless finishers in the team and players who can open up defences at home, that’s where the heaviest outlay will be imo. The likes of Maddison, the Hungarian attacking midfielder and a Diaby type winger. We need more potency to go to places like Anfield or Old Trafford and win not to mention the champions league.

My 2 biggest outlays would be Szabozlai and Raphinha with this in mind Then you top it up with Maddison Which leaves K Thuram - Tierney and Disasi/Danso etc as your other signings Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Increased sponsorship and getting rid of certain players will naturally help, but it’ll still need reducing short term to comply with future regulations.
