Thumbheed Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 14 minutes ago, duo said: A RW, Striker and CB are the priority though Yeh they are, but with more fixtures next year and a high pressing game that's more often than not won in midfield, we need to ensure we're injury and fatigue proof. Lose Tonali for example, and we become far more vulnerable on the counter, which changes the entire dynamic of the game no matter how good the other 10 players are.

Geordie_once_removed Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 (edited) In the last few months a new keeper has jumped right to the top of my summer shopping list. Then RW and CB. Of the high profile players available on a free, I hope we go for Tah (would allow us to go for a Rigg or Delap) and Gomez.

If it happened (god forbid it did), they sign Isak for £250m and we sign Quansah and Kelleher for £50m each. Helps both parties with PSR. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’ll go through the books separately, but Anderson and the Greek were in effect a swap plus cash deal. Chelsea have done them too. If someone like Everton or Nottingham are up against PSR in June there could be another swap - maybe the Greek fella fancies a new club Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

buzza Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 Trafford is going to cost us well north of 20 M this summer. Heujsen would be a great immediate buy for 40M Mbuemo would then be the icing on the cake @ 50M The rest up and coming youngsters... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the players leaked in the press this is probably the best outcome. Hope we come up with a Tonali out of the blue signing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, he looks very comfortable right, left and upfront. Seems to have gone up a level this season, but has gone under the radar a bit as he's still young and gets rotated in and out with Tavernier and Semenyo, as well as going upfront when Evanilson was injured. Would be a good time to go for him if the reports are true. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jewel Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 We were linked with Ouattara before he went to Bournemouth. Has had a good season with plenty of scope for further improvement. Would be a good signing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BermyToon Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 IMO our priorities should be 1st choice GK, 1st choice RCB, 1st choice RW, and backup striker. Assuming nobody is sold, and the ones whose contracts are expiring can leave (Wilson, Lascelles, Ruddy, etc.). Give Schar a 1-year extension to be the backup RCB.
