Sibierski Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 If KDB is open to staying in Prem, he’s got to be considered surely for our CM? Gives us another dimension, short term, another top player for Miley to learn from. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Depends what his wages and signing fee would be. If we’re in UCL, we need quality. £200k pw 2 year deal, that’s £20m gone in wages minimum. Do you take what you know you get, or go youthful for that price point. You’d think even after one year, the option is probably there to move him to Saudi etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 It's not worth blowing our wage structure for someone whom while a genius is not going to be capable of howes pressing regime and will definitely be out injured for a fair period of season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 KDB man He's either going to one of Europe's elite clubs Bayern, Barca, Madrid or he's decided to take pay check in Saudi or MLS. The more I think about it, the more I think Bayern Munich would be an amazing move for him. He could probably play another 4 seasons, win 4 leagues and have another pop at a European cup. De Bruyne and Kane would fairly unstoppable domestically. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledGeordie Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 (edited) I don’t think we’ll sign Cunha but we really could do with signing something with a bit of the X factor to pull something out of their arse in tight games which is what a Cunha type player can do. We only really have Isak who can do that tho Barnes is a definite threat from outside the box with his shot (Tonali too I guess).

jonny1403 Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 You have to say, looking back at that transfer window in 2023 which was roundly criticised: Tonali Hall Livramento Barnes It looks pretty fucking good now. Our transfer record is pretty outstanding since the takeover, it must be the best in the league? Trippier Bruno Burn All legends of the club now. Isak Botman Tonali Gordon Just peak world class players (Botman can get back to that). Hall Livramento Barnes Very good first team players with insane potential in the case of the first two. Then you are literally just looking at Wood and Targett who did a job when we were desperate and Osula who is still very young. Not a single failure in my book. It’s outstanding.
