This Donnarumma performance has got me dreaming of having a proper world class keeper 

 

I know we will probably be in for Trafford, but honestly I'd be happy to wait another year with Pope/Dubs if we could get our own Allison/Courtois etc 

 

Obviously easier said than done, I'm sure out scouting knows better than me, and he could end up class... Just seems having a very good goalkeeper is massive ceiling raiser, especially in Cup competitions 

Surely Trafford is one of the few goalies who could still reach World class level? he's still only 22 and conceeded 16 goals this year.

If Tino was £40M (including add-ons) off the back of a massive ACL injury, and Hall was £35M (including add-ons) after a handful of first-team games two seasons ago, I'm not sure how people are thinking Elliott's worth much less than £40M.

Sorry Rich, meant to reply to this as my first post came across as Flippant.

 

I think with Tino and Hall they were both highly rated and playing in positions which feels quite difficult to fill, also a younger age profile as well 

 

Elliot has come off a middling season and is 22, he lacks the athleticism and pace to play out wide so you have to play him centrally imo, which begs the question. Are you willing to pay 40m for a reserve cm?

 

They may get 40m for him after all Arsenal rinsed Fulham for 40m for ESR but I think he doesn't make much sense for us.

 

Although, I Caveat all of this by saying if Eddie wants him im in.

Along with his shot creating actions and unsuccessful tackle percentage, I trust Fbref is telling everyone about how to say Igor's name.

Just a small thing, it was £27m Arsenal got for him (maybe more if clauses are met). £30m feels the upper end for these type of deals, not £40m that.

Close enough, the point being that Cartel clubs always get high fees for players who have played first team minutes.

Pretty much, although he’s alluding to early business which Howe also did last week.

[janpawel]

Pointless article, though another link to Jacob Ramsey 

 

I asked in a different thread maybe, but what is his best position and how would that work for us? I always thought of him as a left winger in a 4-3-3, like Willock Was a couple year ago. Could he form a 3 man midfield with Tonali and Bruno? 

 

I also don't like the idea of helping Villa out, I feel he could be a bit surplus to them and they won't miss him (assuming they keep 1 of Rashford / Asensio) 

[Sibierski]

Probably doing him a disservice, but does Ramsey move the needle for us anymore than Willock?

Is he a Dickhead ?

Not sure if I already mentioned this but heard on the grapevine that Ruddy is 100% leaving, clubs trying to offload Vlach too.

Champion Allison and Dubs/Pope next year will do

So not only did we get bent over on Vlach but he's under contract for more than 1 year too?!

Aye, something like that.

Of course, if not the total package would have been over 20m in one Financial year.

 

The whole point of the PSR swap is to spread the cost over a longer period of time to reduce the impact in one year. 

 

Best case Scenario for Vlad is we get someone to take him on loan and pay his wages.

Both Douglas and Hope probably have some info, but its getting clearer and clearer the info they get is vague.

Was a 5 year contract I believe, for PSR/financial split sums as @r0cafella mentioned

[Vaj]

I have no idea who he is but I hope we sign one or two players with the profile of Bangoura in an attempt to bulk the squad out a bit. 

 

I trust our scouting network to unearth one or two that could make an impact even if it was just as squad players.

Allison's wage demands will be insane imo

 

Could see him going to a big club abroad still earning well, or Saudi, rather than stepping down in the Prem
