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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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?

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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The likes of Foden, Bellingham etc are worth £100m but they're not gonna get sold are they. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nortoon Posted October 17, 2024 Share Posted October 17, 2024 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbandit Posted October 17, 2024 Share Posted October 17, 2024 Palmer is easily £100m. He’s ridiculously good. Probably just about as bankable a player as you can get, he’d improve any team Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted October 17, 2024 Share Posted October 17, 2024 23 hours ago, Mahoneys Tache said: 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 Posted October 17, 2024 Share Posted October 17, 2024 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledGeordie Posted October 21, 2024 Share Posted October 21, 2024 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Needs it but in not sure it will get it, January isn't the time for overhauls, it should have been done in the summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
