They were all in for Raphinha a month ago (not sure if that's still a goer). I've heard another couple of names more recently but can't fucking remember them. One of them plays RW for Porto I think, but I can't remember his name.

 

The most Eddie Howe winger at Porto would have to be Galeno.

 

Porto have used him more on the left, but think at Braga he also played on the right sometimes.

 

Powerful and explosive winger. Reminds me a bit of Cunha at Wolves.

Could be quite an exciting two weeks with £65 million burning a hole in our pockets.

Hope we shop abroad. £70m for Guehi and £60 for Madueke. Madness. We should be able to get a couple of cracking players for £65m from France/Germany/Italy/Spain etc.

Shame every other club knows we do mind.

Burn, Kelly and soon Botman can fill that role next to Schar. I'd really like Guehi, good player, will get better - but right forward is a more consequential position for us I believe. 

We had defensive issues last season, but I am convinced that was largely in proportion with Pope's absence, as the previous season our defence was the best in the league. I don't believe Guehi would be the crucial factor in solving those issues, right forward however is our weakest area of the squad by a distance. That £60+ million could get us a big player in that position and potentially elevate our forward line to be amongst the strongest in the league.

No Pope and the severely diminished press I reckon, aye.

The problem is the next defender we try to buy know will know they are not our 1st choice?

 

also other clubs will know we were willing to spend £65m on a RCB 

 

price will then be inflated , whoever we go in for 

 

I can see us trying a 5th time and hopefully in private 🥸

Isak wasn’t our first choice. That worked out OK!

Who says he wasn’t first choice 

 

I heard he was the one everyone agreed on and all wanted originally , early talks seemed to suggest we didn't have a chance to get him and price was too high 

 

Then (later in the window) they went all in , and got their man and paid the price they wanted after French kid turned us down

Fully agree, but we'd be a Schär injury away from a bit of a nightmare. In an ideal world we'll get both.

We are willing to spend £65m on a player we think is worth that. It doesn’t mean we’re going to spend that on anyone and we’ll happily tell other clubs that.

It's extremely risky basing our defensive play around a keeper who's popped his shoulder on more than one occasion, and will be highly susceptible to doing so again. Either bring in a keeper equivalent to Pope, or change our play. Otherwise we're looking very fragile going into this season.

Think it's the inverse, Isak was first choice but the fee was massive so we went for somethimg cheap. Wilson injury forced us to pay up. Seems we're willing to just pay what it takes now.

I agree, which is perhaps why it appears we tried to get both Kelly & Tosin on free transfers. We perhaps have reason to believe Schar will be mostly present and available for us though, and should that be the case, he's head and shoulders above Guehi and our other central defenders imo. The most underrated player in the league, such is my conviction anyway.

When c.£60 million could potentially get us a high class right forward, it's a clear preference for me at this point.

That’s football. Who cares?  Craig Bellamy and Laurent Robert weren’t our first choice years ago 

 

that Yoro wasn’t Man Utd’s first choice and Man Utd wasn’t his first choice either. Countless transfers over the years haven’t been first choice they still get done

But Howe wants only PL players. This is your problem.

I don't want to hear him complain about PSR rules and having to sell players then.

Thought we were after Pedro, Ah so the Wilson injury swung it to Isak (thank fuck)

This will be the result: now you sign Guehi for madness fee, and then you sell Bruno to balance the books. 

Howe already last year wasted the money. And this year is worse. A coach shouldn't make the market.
