I know, but seemingly we were willing to do that in the summer but not this month. Just wonder why the change in thinking. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, our league position feels like it is in flux - the league is very, very tight. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fwiw, I’d be more than happy to try and clear the decks a little this month, in the hope we can spend big in the summer. I’m clueless regarding PSR/FFP though, so not sure if we could spend come the summer window. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m clueless regarding PSR/FFP though, so not sure if we could spend come the summer window. For me I’d try to cling on to the squad this month, unless we get a mental offer for Longstaff or something. I wouldn’t be surprised at all to see Almiron go plus another squad player, with a young squad player brought in - a bit of wheeler-dealing. Can’t see us splashing out though. Due to the way that amortisation works, unless contract extensions are signed then you don’t really open up more headroom unless income is increased and/or players are sold. And I’m guessing that if the likes of Isak are here past this summer then it won’t be on the same contract terms they have at the moment, further reducing headroom. Increasing income is key - if we were to make CL this season, then that would open up significant headroom again. It would also be nice if the commercial team could land some low-hanging fruit sponsorships too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unbelievable Posted Friday at 08:52 Share Posted Friday at 08:52 Great prospect, but not our priority position is it? I doubt we have the PSR headroom for a big transfer anyway. Hopefully we will at least continue to bring in players for the future. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted Friday at 09:21 Share Posted Friday at 09:21 I’m not sure we’d be looking at a proper target man mind. Haven’t watched Ferguson that much but wouldn’t it be a complete change in style versus when Isak plays? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thumbheed Posted Friday at 09:48 Share Posted Friday at 09:48 Allow me to be unpopular, may have said I wouldn't be keen in the past but I'd be OK with DCL. Howe has an eye for a striker and with the chances we create as well as having 2 solid crossers he'd be a very good second striker imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without spending £50M+ I think we'd find it impossible to bring in a striker who plays the same way as Isak, and even then it may not be possible. I'd be interested in seeing if we go for Jonathan David for free in the summer. He's not the same as Isak but definitely capable of dropping deep or shifting out wide just like Isak does, yet he's also a box poacher. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nine Posted Friday at 14:13 Share Posted Friday at 14:13 (edited) I think we’ll be looking at versatile forwards rather than an out and out 9, we have had a few long term targets like Ekitike and Joao Pedro that can play multiple positions across the front and I’d expect us to continue with players like these.

Ginola14 Posted Friday at 16:04 Share Posted Friday at 16:04 (edited) reckon Evan Ferguson would be a really good back up striker / one for the future if available still a huge talent and very young, but his stock has plummeted since his hat-trick against us so could be a viable option Edited Friday at 16:05 by Ginola14 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
