If we got those 3 plus Scalvini - perfect. 

Then I'd just like another midfielder, even on loan, and even if a Norgaard back up type. 

I do think Longstaff's race has been run here. Willock too, so some fresh energy in the middle would be very needed. 
 

We’d need a 10m plus Longstaff sale to allow us to buy all 4, I imagine.

As soon as I saw 128 replies, I knew most of them will be Liverpool fans talking about Isak.

A blast from the past.

I’d go for Douglas Luiz and take a punt on someone like Hayden Hackney - replace Longstaff and Willock 

[Doctor Zaius]

I think there's no chance of 125m for the three of them either

[MagPar]

Any thoughts on Garnacho? He'd be pretty cheap after his (whoop de do, big f'kin deal) Aston Villa/Rashford stunt. 

 

I don't get the big deal, a wee joke that didn't harm anyone. 

[gbandit]

No, he’s a turd

[St1pe]

That’s a proper nothing article from Baldwards for clicks. No doubts he’ll backtrack on it later down the line.

€25m seems pretty budget friendly. I can only assume we never really were that keen.

Do think there's scope for a young CM that's loan with option/obligation to buy end of season.

 

Chelsea the easy target again, but I like the profile of Chukwuemeka who would fit that criteria. Or more extreme option, Kellyman. Not seen the latter, but he had a high reputation around him and there's no clear pathway for the youngsters into that Chelsea midfield.

Assuming we sign Pedro, Trafford and Elanga, I’m guessing a CB would come from the continent

He’d come in January if at all

Not a rumour, just a thought.

 

Bobby Clark has had a tough time at Salzburg. Was signed by a manager who was sacked in 6 months. He's 20 years old and, formerly at least, considered a future wonderkid.

 

He's also likely to want to jump at the chance at coming back here because hes rumoured at being unhappy.

 

He's also a midfielder and wouldn't cost alot. I think they only paid 10m for him. 

 

If anyone can get his potential out of him its Howe. At the very least, he'd get some value back in him.

Worth a punt I reckon, I feel similarly about Ben Doak (sp) at Liverpool. He seemed to be the next big thing, now appears to be out in the cold!

Would be someone much cheaper too you'd imagine.

 

Or perhaps someone that comes in on loan initially, to then be made permanent next summer.

[Robbo2]

What happened to that Le Havre centre back we were linked with a month or two back?

Only scoring goals in Portugal.

I'm not sure 'imagination' should be a characteristic of major purchases. If you're equating 'imagination' to 'where the player currently plays football', then it contradicts the need to identify players who represent a guarantee of success. We can't afford to gamble, basically, and the players most likely to guarantee a success are already in the Premier League. That's also why they're expensive.

 

Save imagination for the development squad.

I disagree in the sense that I believe we CAN afford to gamble, and therefore I think we should. Our first team is good enough to challenge for top four (evidently since it has done for 3 years) and even much maligned players like Murphy and Burn are worthy first team players who can’t be easily displaced. Then there are players who have had a relatively bad season (Willock, Longstaff, Gordon) who if they stay could improve us if they play to their potential. We have some decent money to play with this summer (let’s assume 100-120m before sales) and we mainly need to strengthen our numbers, although a true injection of quality in some areas wouldn’t go amiss. 
 

i therefore personally would prefer us to spend on unproven young players with a high ceiling rather than spend double on proven non-top players with PL experience. Ger Bayayoko instead of Elanga and spend the remaining 30m on midfield cover for example. Likewise I spent much of last summer advocating picking up Huijsen for the reported 15m over chasing Guehi for over four times the money. Most of our first team players are perfectly dependable and we can afford to “gamble” on Lewis Hall like project players who will see us with top players in their mid 20’s or saleable assets in a fee years time, instead of players in their late twenties that we need to be looking to replace sooner or later. We need to bring the average age of the squad down and we need to pad the squad out in multiple positions, so going for “proven expensive” might be a gamble in itself as it might leave us short in numbers still.

Le Havre-ing a laugh aren’t you?

 

Yeah, I’ll just go and fuck myself off. . . .
