Ikon Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 I personally prefer Szoboszlai because he is much younger, more athletic and physical. jM is obviously proven in this league and probably a safer bet, but I’m certain that DS is too talented to not succeed and probably has a higher ceiling potentially. Plus I want us to bring in “our own” stars instead of buying ready made proven PL players. Not that DS is unknown really but there’s a nice feeling when you sign a player like Bruno for example who comes in and grows with the club and others are like “where did they find this guy, or get him”. The more unknown is sometimes more exciting somehow. I would be very happy with Maddison too, no doubt. I think DS is our number one priority though.

Matt1892 Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 I would enjoy the Neves on loan signing more than us signing Tonali just for the sheer volume of seething it would cause that we’ve found the cheat code to FFP.😂 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 Thought this was pretty interesting when Maddison and Szoboszlai's profiles were compared on Sofascore on Loaded Mag last night. Nigh on identical. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ill be right happy with any of them. Seems like both are quite solid players, although im still a bit pissed about the dive Maddison did to get Leicester the pen against us .

English PL footballers do not. My reply was facetious but not facile. I’m in the right ballpark. We all get it sometimes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But i like the fact when there is a signing done that everyone doesn't know about. That instead of going the safe way. There's a risk but i love when that comes out as a "steal" if X-player performs even better than expected. DS would cost a bomb but im pretty confident that he would be a success and after a while we'll think that the money he cost was a very good investment for 10+ years here or wherever.

Nigh on identical. Here's Tonali (green) vs. Bruno G (blue). Tonali as a double pivot mid in a 4231 and Bruno as Bruno in our 4-3-3. (I'd take Maddison in a heartbeat. I see no risk at all, just pettiness over the fee) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn’t damage the integrity of the sport or what happens on the pitch. If the rules were around a total cap on spending that made the competition fair I’d agree, but as the rules are to stop clubs going bust (or so they claim) getting cheap signings is fair enough.

Jack27 Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 Tonali Szoboszlai/Maddison Cucurella A good CB option i’d be very happy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keegans Export Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 Call me Craig Hope but I don't see us spending £60m on Tonali, then another £50m on Maddison/Szoboszlai, reinforcing LB and CB then bringing in a backup forward. If I was to guess I'd say Tonali was our marquee signing, then we'll look elsewhere for the second CM to leave money in the budget for the other two or three.

JP Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 I think we'll go big on the creative mid as well. Then probably look for the value in CB and LB. Not sure we need a backup forward this window? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
