cranna Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 3 hours ago, SUPERTOON said: Aye Maddison as 40 million is a good price, if we don’t go for that then we clearly have other priorities like Szoboszlai. Maddison and Szoboszlai would be a similar combination to that of Man City with David Silva and Nasri. The focus will not be on running around, as it is now with Almirón and Joelinton, but on more sophisticated passes and tiki-taka. I think you can put the two on the same team.

The College Dropout Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 Pep is pumping the ball long to Haaland and having his midfielders win second-balls. Tiki-taka is dead. Joking aside. What I've learnt about Howe is... his plan B is doing plan A better. I expect his preference is to sign players that can slot in and play the way we do now.. just at a higher level. A lot of pressing and hard running. Conversely though.. the best signings this year were opportunistic (Pope) and a slightly more technical profile with physical potential to play in the Howe way (Isak, Botman).

timeEd32 Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 I agree, I don't think we're going to change the way we play much at all. A huge part of our game will still be predicated on "running around." It's why (a fit) Gordon is going to be a big part of our plans. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prophet Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 https://twitter.com/philipphinze24/status/1665762908012257280 Dominik #Szoboszlai publicly flirted with a transfer last week. @NUFC would like to negotiate down the €70m clause. Magpies can spend around €150m on transfers this summer. Potential transfer income included. Financial fair play must be taken into account. @SkySportDE Right on cue.

SUPERTOON Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 I’d be surprised if they let him go for less than the release clause. They don’t need the money having already sold Nkunku to Chelsea Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuy_O Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 I think we’ll have a summer window here that brings Martin Samuel’s recent article to the surface.

The player himself liked our instagram photo after defeating Brighton 4-1. That’s a very promising source if you ask me. Botman liked our Instagram post when he was still a Lille supporter player.

SUPERTOON Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 Without bringing up the whole debate again, I think 40 million for Lavia represents better value than spending any sort of money on Mctominay. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrRaspberryJam Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 When someone says to me, would you rather spend 40m on McTominay or 40m on Lavia my answer is always the same: they're not mutually exclusive Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even Nottingham Forest can spend €150m, any figure below £200m will be a big mistake and a missed opportunity to establish the club in the top 4 right now, not later.

City have a match any offer and a buyout back for '24 for Lavia. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
