Or Barnes for that matter. We're not short of English club grown players though. You only need 4 in a European squad - and we've got loads. It's the 4 club grown players we are short of.

Fair enough, but when we're putting the likes of Neave on the bench along with two goalkeepers I'm not sure we're going to be looking to sell anyone who plays a lot of football.

Or you ask him to go down the line and cross? Not convinced personally. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could we sign Krul, Woodman, Forster or Alnwick to use as our third choice European keeper to fill the club grown quota? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could do aye. Surprised it hasn't been rumoured already, probably because we've got a million keepers. Would mean we could name one more outfield player which would be useful. At the moment we're going to have a squad of 22 in Europe (21 non club then players + Longstaff). If Longstaff goes, we'd only be able to name 21 as we'd have no club grown players. Worth noting Miley doesn't need to be named in the squad as he's under 21. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In terms of PSR though, if you sold Gordon for say £80m and replaced with Cunha for £60m or whatever, it'd allow more signings? Similar to how selling ASM for £25m allowed us to go and get Barnes & Livramento. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know those European rules have been in place for a while but with PSR making it so beneficial to sell our homegrown youngsters it's just such a mess. Being forced the sell the likes of Anderson is frustrating in these circumstances Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or increased our commercial revenue by that much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He seems in a bracket £20m or so above a group of players who I reckon could come in and do the same job. Not sure we could do it with Bruno, Tonali, Isak for instance.

Mazzy Posted Friday at 11:11 Share Posted Friday at 11:11 Certainly is a plus point for Cunha that we're all even having this argument. He can genuinely play in 3/4 different positions and plays them all very well. I've no doubt he would fit into Howes style of play and you'd think it would allow us to be a even more flexible in attacking areas. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanj Posted Friday at 11:39 Share Posted Friday at 11:39 Cunha would be mega, man. Absolutely would get even better in our team. A front 3 of Isak, Cunha and Gordon or Barnes is stupidly frightening. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bunk Moreland Posted Friday at 11:43 Share Posted Friday at 11:43 (edited) What's Cunha's injury record like? As for any potential discipline issues, I'd back the gaffa, Mad Dog, Bruno and Big Joe (not to mention BDB and Jam) to get him in line if need be.
