Alberto2005 Posted June 18, 2023 Share Posted June 18, 2023 I just don't see how we only buy two players, our squad is nowhere near big enough to cope with CL. Two elite and Tierney/LB would make sense. Tierney, Maddison and a CM. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERTOON Posted June 18, 2023 Share Posted June 18, 2023 Would people be happy with 2 elite midfielders and then say someone like KWP who can cover lb and rb ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kwp would be great. I think we will be left weak on the right flank with this approach though. I think we might be left in a position whereby we have to sell ASM to get a new RW in.

nortoon Posted June 18, 2023 Share Posted June 18, 2023 I think we will sign at least 4. Those articles are fairly pointless. The club will say one thing and do another, as they should. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying we're going to spend 200 million plus, but as soon as I see figures mentioned in articles, I take it with a pinch of salt. Whatever we do, I'll be happy. People just have to trust the process. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If one was someone like Maddison of Szoboszlai who can play as an inverted RW, then aye. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWMag Posted June 18, 2023 Share Posted June 18, 2023 I imagine if Maddison signs he will take the RW position Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coffee_Johnny Posted June 18, 2023 Share Posted June 18, 2023 Think I’ll be happy as long as we have what looks like (a) a signing or two which signal an improved first 11; (b) a stronger and deeper first team squad. The first criteria, to some extent, enables the second (those outgoing may change that) but three or four newbies, in and around the first team, probably required, especially as I expect to see two leaving. To some extent I am content to wait and see what that looks like. Would love, as all I guess, a real CL level statement signing. Two would be even better.

PauloGeordio Posted June 18, 2023 Share Posted June 18, 2023 I believe we’ll get 4 in, 2 purples, 1 lesser squad player and 1 to develop as a minimum! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt1892 Posted June 18, 2023 Share Posted June 18, 2023 I think some people are going to be in for a shock if they think talk of a net spend of £100 million is playing down our budget. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUPERTOON Posted June 18, 2023 Share Posted June 18, 2023 Nice to hear Caulkin say we still have an interest in Thuram. He would be perfect although I think Liverpool will get him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted June 18, 2023 Share Posted June 18, 2023 I'm fine with 2 quality players. Reckon we will get 2 or 3 for the squad also. Perhaps a south American etc. We will also sell someone significant. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Posted June 18, 2023 Share Posted June 18, 2023 I'm not sure 2 will be enough for the champions league, I think we'll be closer to £200 million with 4 purples possibly ASM leaving Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

With ASM it just feels like it will be him that will be off, even though I'd like to see him play more in our bigger CL game schedule. However bringing in 2 quality players like the ones we've been linked with still be a massive improvement even if we lose ASM. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
