I'm actually pretty optimistic we will still do both, it just may go down to the final week of the window for RW. But I also think said RW will be seen as Isak/Bruno level.

 

Like, all the Bowen links earlier in the window.. no one else notice that they have just signed another wide forward player despite already having Bowen and Kudus?

 

I did indeed - and with them wanting £80m for him and Gordon valued at roughly the same and with us having Harvey Barnes for left wing - I put 2 + 2 together and hopefully I've got 41!

Summerville ? He’s a LW isn’t he, plus Bowen plays through the middle mainly for them.

Has Guler signed yet?

 

Not yet, I've just been talking to him in the Copthorne, he's waiting for his free pint of Carling for checking in.

 

Promising.

As a good Muslim lad, much like Malick Thiaw, wor Arda wouldn't touch alcohol.

Ryan sessegnon went back to Fulham on a free. 

Always wondered if he could play right-wing. 

 

He looked a superstar when we were in the Championship - I'm sure he tore us to shreds up here? Didn't they get a pen and he had already scored two and didn't take it?!

Looks like money might be tight. Be interesting to see how we navigate that, and who we bring in.

 

Quote

 

Eddie Howe has revealed that a “blockbuster” signing “might be difficult” to pull off this summer, but hopes it may not be long until the club are in a position to pursue such deals.

 

Speaking to the media from Japan, the boss insists “transfers have changed” following the introduction of FFP and PSR, admitting it’s still “difficult for us” to spend freely despite Saudi ownership and an increase in revenues. However, he insists all markets are being explored and hopes for a breakthrough soon on the transfer front.

 

“I think a blockbuster like that might be difficult,” Howe said. “The rules have changed. Transfers have changed. I hope that it’s not permanently. I hope in time we will improve our position to enable to sign that calibre of player. Currently that is difficult for us right now.”

 

“We are navigating a period where we have to be very aware of what we are doing financially. We are having to plan ahead. But I hope that won’t be forever.”

“All markets (are being explored) but I think the free transfers are gone. We’ve got one in Lloyd who I think is a brilliant one and there are a couple of others out there but I think now it is about probably signing players for money. Loans are always difficult.”

Not sticking up for Luke as I’ve mocked him many a time but I do think there may be some credence in us trying to get rid of players first. It ties in with Mitchell wanting to trim squad/wages. We don’t really have a massive squad though, compared to others? The Ashley deadwood needs to go whether it’s perm or loan until the contracts run out, maybe that’s who it is. Lewis, Fraser, Hayden. Possibly even people like Targett who have no realistic chance of playing now. A loan to S’oton seems perfect for him.

If we want/need to sell before we can buy, then it’s going to be a disappointing summer (Unless we sell a purple).

Tbf it has been disappointing thus far. Though there is time left, it’s only two weeks until the season starts.

The club gambled in January not taking bids for the players they are struggling to shift now. Thems the breaks.

It’s actually so boring, we have genuinely gone backwards at this current rate, in what is going to be an even more competitive PL this season. Will Howe last the season if we finish 7th or 8th? 
Even if Almiron doesn’t go, the position desperately needs an upgrade. Wilson needs a young back up of calibre. Even a loan at this point would be a relief. A good RCB on loan because we have two CBs coming back could work well.

Whilst I would normally agree wholeheartedly with the 'standing still is going backwards' sentiment, I think our squad next season maybe the exception. The Tonali and injury situation was such that last season I can't think of many/any games we could field a full strength 11. We started pretty strong, albeit with out Willock. But it was all downhill from there.

Almiron wouldn’t go. Trippier didn’t go and it’s not entirely clear why, who else received an offer?

 

As far as I know we priced Trippier out of the move, we obviously felt he was too important to let go unless we received X amount.
