Name a good right sided forward available that’s the problem and was in the summer, we either unearth someone from the continent, or we’ll end up going for someone like Dibling.

You'd pay 50m+ for him?

Johan Bakayoko ticks a lot of boxes. 21yo left-footed RW and his contract expires next summer so if he doesn't sign a new one PSV could be open to offers.

 

Another that will have a lot of interest but he'd get immediate minutes here.

We couldn't replace him with anyone near his level, losing him would be a disaster and a real indication of things stalling. 

Actual top quality number 9s are so few and far as well. How many clubs in recent years have sold their top striker and replaced with similar quality or spent big on a replacement in hope the new guy progresses?

Losing him would be a unmitigated disaster. What we need to do is show him our ambition still exists and play to his strengths.

I’d get him. We fucked up with Minteh but Bakayoko would be near identical given Eredivisie production stats.

Would he cost that much though if Southampton go down? I’d have thought he’s exactly the kind of profile player Howe would love to coach.

Maybe slightly less if they go down but not much less I'd imagine. Look how much we paid for Tino and that was with a horrible injury behind him.

I should probably just check back a page, but is this the lad who got that hattrick against our kids? Like 3 identical goals?

I thought we had a real chance at Madueke right after Chelsea brought in Neto.

Yeah, get him. £50m is fine. He'll be worth twice that in a few years.

Not many players end up worth £100m

He might be if he keeps this up for longer, dunno. Even then, how many £100m transfers have their actually been?

 

Not that the number is actually important like, sorry

I suppose it depends if we're talking about what a player is worth to the club or what a player is worth to sell. The likes of Foden, Bellingham etc are worth £100m but they're not gonna get sold are they.

One.  Enzo Fernandez to Chelsea for €121.00m.  Grealish and Declan Rice were just under that amount.

been more than one unless you’re just referring to English clubs buying?

Yes, limited to EPL.  Coutinho and Hazard if you include Spain (Barcelona and Real Madrid).  transfermarkt

[nortoon]

Palmer definitely worth 100m in my opinion. An attacking player with his goal/assist contribution is pretty rare these days. Surprised he signed the 8 year deal or whatever it was.

[gbandit]

Palmer is easily £100m. He’s ridiculously good. Probably just about as bankable a player as you can get, he’d improve any team

Can’t fault Isak to be fair. He’s stalling because the progress has stalled. It’s a short career. Good as he is I don’t think it would be the end of the world if he went. He’s blown hot and cold since he arrived and while that might not just be down to him I think the wedge we’d get for him would cover two very good players up front. One ready to go and one with big potential. With all the carry on with PSR and legal shenanigans it doesn’t look like things are going to improve dramatically any time soon either. Not seeing anything to suggest that recent developments are going to help us one bit and if it’s possible to fuck us over, fuck us over they will. 

 

Striker is the most difficult position to buy so it would be a gamble at best. Just got to look at Man U throwing good money after bad at signing them.

 

But like I said, the way PSR is currently rigged, the only way to grow is to sell players at a profit. It's like a souped up version of Mike Ashley's Newcastle.

Wasn't there a report that mentioned we were scouting Dibling and Akliouche? Bet the Monaco lad would be better value (not saying he'd be a better player...).

[Ketsbaia]

A world-class stiker (Isak) surrounded by some good, some bad.

 

Or a very good striker in a very good overall team.

 

Would take the latter tbh.

[ExiledGeordie]

Club needs a massive shot in the arm this Jan, no fucking about. Hopefully Murphy consigned to the bench when a new RW comes in and ideally a striker too. Pressure on as the season could drift away.
