Nucasol Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 11 minutes ago, kingxlnc said: Longstaff is going to be sold either in Jan or in summer - pure profit there of 15-20m. Almiron - 10m Perhaps Lascelles, Kelly, Targett, Krafth, Trippier, Wilson too. Whole load of wages free up, even if not a huge amount of actual fees. If you think about the Guehi money, and what we have to replace - we need to spend £100m minimum UNLESS we get cleverer with free transfers - look at Villa with Kamara - and also with younger foreign players like Minteh. They don't always work - e.g for every Minteh there's a Kuol or Ashby but we have to box clever. I'd look to get: Kyle Walker Peters - 7m (or free in summer) - covers both Trippier AND Targett - no brainer Dibling - 35-40m - the RW version of Hall/Tino OR Mbuemo - 55m RCB - Tapsoba - 35m (or Jonathon Tah, free) Jonathon David - Free Angel Gomes - Free Roony Bardhaji - Free There's a lot of quality becoming available - pay more on the wages if required if it means we can spend the majority on Tah seemingly on his way to join Flick at Barca. Agree with the logic - there’s a load of people going off the wage bill but we’ll need bodies to compete on four fronts and losing Kelly, Targett, Tripps who have all played more than a handful of games leaves us really light.

Hanshithispantz Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 1 hour ago, lovejoy said: He's taller than Dibling and Mbuemo. Wiki heights are unreliable, no chance he's 5'11. The other lad is meant to be 6'2 (which could also be wrong). Dibling looks like he'll be a physical player imo, he's not as tall but has that Vardy/Delap type stature from the little I've seen.

I mean it was pretty much said we weren't going to be making any signings this window a couple of months back so I barely even bother checking in here with any real excitement. I do think we'll buy in the summer though, but a lot depends on where we finish this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 (edited) Not many videos of him and he seems to have bulked up a lot which most of the highlight videos don't show, this is a better look at him. Edited January 17 by Hanshithispantz Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also said he knew nothing about Harvey Barnes signing, whilst Barnes was already with the squad. How many years of Eddie Howe's press conferences do we have to experience, before people understand he will never give anything away and will obfuscate plans, often and deliberately?

It’s not being a downer. It’s the financial reality. Positively if we don’t expect a big summer, it’s likely we don’t want to sell our best players either.

Whether he's good enough is up for debate Aye, this. He isn't anywhere close to Wilson in terms of injuries. And I don't really understand people turning their nose up at DCL on a free. He isn't coming in to replace Isak. More as an option/plan B from the bench. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elric Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Kinda just in the 'acceptance' stage of DCL now, if we can get him on relatively low wages and he's happy playing second fiddle, then... yeah 😬 Looks like we'll be financially hobbled once again, so like others have said, hopefully we can just tie down our best players and then see where we can go from there 🤷♂️ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyc35i Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 I’d actually be happy with DCL, Isak and Osula as our central striker options come next season. Means we can go big on a younger CB and RW Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny36 Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Would prefer Jonathan David but if we cant get him then DCL as backup to Isak is ok..If Howe could get DCL to same level as he was under Ancelotti Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll command wages not in line with his abilities on a free transfer, the guy consistently underperformed his xG, which in striker terms, means he's a turbo shit finisher. Other examples of this trait include Werner and Havertz who constantly miss big chances and are ridiculed for their forward play. He's just not worth the time or hassle when it will saddle us with this guy for years whether he's option B/C or Z honestly, we have to manage our wage structure better due to this PSR shite.

Hanshithispantz Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 If DCL is willing to sit on the bench he'd be a no brainer if his wages are reasonable. Howe showed with Wood he can use a proper target man, he'd give us a proper plan B and would stop us having to sit so far back when shattered without an outlet.

One of those where you get the feeling Howe really likes him since the links have been persistent for a long time now. Given Eddie's success with the transfer policies I'd be happy to go with his judgement no bother. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menace Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 I'd rather just see how Osula gets on to be honest, don't really DCL at all Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HayDen Traces Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Did you see the miss he made against Villa on weds, sums DCL up for me. I guess as a backup he can do a job, we'll need more depth up top if we make europe Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimson Cardigan Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Howe obviously thinks he can bring DCL back towards his best. We also need a player who’s happy enough to just sit on the bench and get 10-15 mins at best most weeks. It’s a tricky role to fill. We have the kid in Osula so I guess we need one more experienced option… Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
