BonesJones Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 If PIF was to sneakily put money into one of the clubs they aren't associated with over there, wouldn't it be quite difficult for the FFP police to trace that back to them? Then they just get that club to buy player x. Win, win. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebelrouser Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 Everyone expected PIF to come in and start throwing money around and breaking the rules like City.

I agree with you on that, what is PIF's actual investment strategy ? from the company's they have invested in, including the Golf, they seem content to provide capital but seem happy to let others run the business.

Ikon Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 (edited) We might be “stocked” but I’d be shocked if the club isn’t looking to sign a top quality wide player at least. We don’t have one single top quality player out wide. Doesn’t sound like the ambitions of the club to believe we have enough out wide (quality) Edited July 12, 2023 by Ikon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skeletor Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 Just now, Ikon said: We might be “stocked” but I’d be shocked if the club isn’t looking to sign a top quality wide player at least. Indeed. It's also one of those positions that's hard to judge the quality. Almiron had what looks like a freak season compared to the rest of his career, ASM injured a lot and doesn't look the same player on the pitch, Gordon not very good for us but won Euro U21s player of the tournament, Murphy I'm still convinced is crap despite his resurgence, Fraser needs to go in the bin, Joelinton better in the middle.

I think he'd have no problem going again with the same wide options, they aren't the worst in the division by a long shot, but I also think he'd prefer an upgrade, and would sell one of those two or ASM if it meant getting in one of the players he really fancies.

andycap Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 (edited) I think we need a Barnes type player someone that's gonna knock in ten a season and help convert draws into wins. All the top teams have that type of player. Miggy done it this year but I'm not sure he can do it again. All our wingers are good but not top notch as far as goals and assists are concerned.

You might not think they are top quality but the club/Howe obviously do. We haven’t even signed Barnes Plus I think Gordon was signed more for the near future/long term because the opportunity arrived. English premium and all that. Gordon hasn’t shown anything (Yet) to be called top quality and I doubt Howe/Ashworth see him as that yet. Howe has talked about us going for a very small pool of players because of their quality. That’s the kind of players I think they see as elite, just like Tonali for example. To say we are “stocked” in wide areas might right to a degree. But not when it comes to top quality. We lack creativity from out wide to name one thing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
