Funtime Frankie Posted 21 hours ago Share Posted 21 hours ago 1 hour ago, Jewel said: Whoever we get in the summer, technical ability and the ability to keep the ball is an absolute must. I know Howe loves an athlete that can run and press all day long. He seems to prioritise these aspects too highly IMO. We need to move away from this and start targeting players with a bit of vision, intelligence and flair. Less robotic and more flair. I would love us go out and sign a David Silva type player. Cherki is the solution but I'm sure Howe will veto this for his perceived lack of energy. 2 assists today, he is genuine flair and unpredictability Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronson333 Posted 20 hours ago Share Posted 20 hours ago (edited) Interestingly Man City fans are raving about Khusanov and say he’s been class after that first dodgy 10 mins against Chelsea. Our scouts are regularly identifying top talent, just hope we trust them and have a big summer. Edited 20 hours ago by Ronson333 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our scouts are regularly identifying top talent, just hope we trust them and have a big summer. Our scouting is good as we get linked often with players who do well elsewhere which is the problem. We don’t have the finances, either a top team comes in like City with Khusanov or we don’t take the risk like Huijsen at Bournemouth as we have to strike gold with each signing.

kingxlnc Posted 15 hours ago Share Posted 15 hours ago This has been the most frustrating thing about PSR, the opportunity cost. Imagine we still had some sort of regulation so you can't be free spending like Abramovic or Bohely's Chelsea, but not the unfit-for-purpose PSR which is capped at 2015 level £105m losses, not accounting for the crazy inflation since. Even just 3-4 players (inc Minteh and Anderson) would make a huge difference to us. We may have more of an appetite for risk - e.g Hujisen, or have enough for Khusanov in Jan. Or even be able to buy Guehi. 4 young first team level players give us energy and that refresh and is a good foundation. Instead those players are now lost and inaccessible unless we're willing to pay double triple what they cost. Which would cause you to go deeper into PSR deficit. It's so much hard work to actually compete these days, so many things trying to hamstring an ambitious club. Wonder what Wrexham's owners will do when they make it to the Prem.

As Americans, they'll be welcomed with open arms and probably allowed to exploit a few loopholes, as long as they don't upset their fellow American owners at the cartel clubs.

Menace Posted 7 hours ago Share Posted 7 hours ago The comment about our scouting finding good talent is very valid. Khusanov and Huijsen were both identified and would've been very good for us considering how old our CB's are. I just can't wait until we can spend again. 3 new faces and the team will be bouncing again Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
