But it's ashame we can't get both in 2 different players. Ideally I'd love to have something like Ederson, Pedro, and a new RW. Sell 1 of Willock/Longstaff, loan Osula We’d have up top - Isak, Pedro, Gordon, Barnes, New RW, Murphy And midfield - Bruno, Tonali, Joelinton, Ederson, Miley, W/L Isak has a quality and like for like replacement, who can also play as an AM giving us more flexibility Miley can start off as deputy to Bruno/Tonali, could see how he fares till January Ederson / Joelinton can rotate in our physically demanding LCM role Shame this is likely impossible cos of FFP, I'd fancy us against anyone with this midfield and forward line So rambling out loud here... would people agree that these players would pretty much give us a top 4 level, complete squad? Pedro Elanga Ederson Guehi But the issue is, these would probably cost £200m We have no idea how much we are prepared to spend, but would around £120m be unrealistic? Completely guessing the numbers, but take Ederson out, and buy a AM who can cover CF and CM (Pedro). Say £50m saved Guehi £40m, Pedro £55m, could we find a right winger for around £25M? 🤷 Though this doesn't factor in if we want / get Trafford, but I'd rather have Pope and Dubravka for 1 more year and sufficiently improve our outfield players Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted Thursday at 12:50 Share Posted Thursday at 12:50 £120m would be less than £50m in amortised cost net. I would double that spend and sell next June if necessary. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PIF have only overpaid for the Greek GK and that was part of some sort of PSR move I don't understand. I thought we overpaid for Isak and Tonali at first, but i was wrong about both. Maybe Targett, but he played a role that was needed at one time and £15 million isn't going to ruin a budget. Barnes and Gordon play important roles so i don't think we overpaid for them either.

Pata Posted Thursday at 13:38 Share Posted Thursday at 13:38 1 hour ago, The College Dropout said: We play with 3 midfielders. You only need 1 player of 3 to get injured, suspended or need a rest to play. We will play 3x a week, every week from September to January excluding international breaks. That's loads of starts and minutes of the bench for another CM. I like the idea of signing a JP/Cunha/Alvarez type. Could drop a CM and play as a 10. Or play instead of Isak in our current setup. That's +48 matches in four months, seems a bit high? Think the more honest way would be saying we play twice a week as it is the reality. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think there would be any meltdown if we got him..just saying. Quote yesterday-ish Quote “I want a club with ambition that wants to do something. Obviously, I'd love to fight for titles, to win titles. A team that’s competitive, that has ambition, really, with a good sporting project.” Still... don't think he is one for us. Italy looks more likely. Napoli seems to have cooled and Juve on the scene now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like us to go for either a free or pay a low transfer fee for a 30ish year old back up in midfield; a Jorginho or Trippier (equivalent to Trippier) type signing just to do a job for a season or two before we really invest in that area. Possibly send out Miley on loan to really see what he's got at the same time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still think there would be room for Miley too to not go out on loan and be that 4th/5th option depending on who is out of the starters. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, would really help with the second choices too to have that calming experienced player there along with two of Miley/Willock/Longstaff in early cup games.

St1pe Posted Thursday at 14:43 Share Posted Thursday at 14:43 Given the fee it’s seemingly going to cost to get Mbeumo + his wages I’m sort of pleased we haven’t. It’s similar to how we tried to get Guehi last season as the absolute peak of his value. Remove his penalties which he won’t get ahead of Isak or Bruno at Man U I’m not sure it’s an entirely risk free purchase. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stottie Posted Thursday at 14:50 Share Posted Thursday at 14:50 I wonder how much a Douglas Luiz loan would be. Juve haven't been playing him. Luiz-Tonali double pivot, Bruno 8, push Tino and Hall right up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted Thursday at 14:53 Share Posted Thursday at 14:53 Genuinely hate the double pivot, i hate the name, i hate the boring 4-2-3-1s it produces that are actually 4-5-1s cos there are no old fashioned number 10s anymore anyway and I dont even think it makes sense anyway.
