Has mostly played down the right side but is really versatile, which would be very very handy.

The Tonali to Juve talk is very odd.

 

There's seems to be an acknowledgement that we're not willing sellers, but Juve have initiated contact with the player's camp regardless.

They couldn't afford him, and he loves it here.

[David Edgar]

Enjoyed how Saelemakers was pronounced by the old FIFA commentary so I'm onboard already.

[Sibierski]

That would strike me as a RB signing who can fill in elsewhere.

[Weezertron]

I'd want 4 bodies in, for whatever our budget is. 

 

Not really keen on getting a purple for 65m like Cunha or whatever, if it means another season of having a poor bench.

I assume we'll have priority positions and different options at different price points.

 

If we get CL I would be hopeful for 1 purple + 3 more.

A mix would be ideal. 

 

But I do think we as fans continue to overestimate our 'kitty' every window.

I just can't wait to see their next idea to get past PSR. Surely they're running out of things to sell. 

Club World Cup is filling their coffers to the tune of 60m isn’t it?

I was canny happy with how much we spent in our last summer before a CL campaign.

 

We signed Tonali and Barnes who were meant to be first teamers, as well as Tino and Hall for the future.

 

Something like that but CB, RW, GK, CM would be cool.

Probably how I’m feeling and could see it  happening. RW / CB the starters, GK / CM ones that won’t be expected to be starters but with aim they can be as season progresses. 

[Shearergol]

We need a starting keeper as much as a right winger. Absolutely vital

We’ll need a full back on the basis that neither Targett or Kelly will be here 

 

I hope we sign a CM to really compete with the 3 we have as starters currently - competition (genuine) does no one any harm

If we signed a £10m-£15m keeper, they would be good enough to start but I could see it be a ‘ease in’ I.e. cups and when an injury arrives, they come in and rest is history. 
 

Our first big signing will determine what approach we take for others IMO. Like the Murphy form and output might be making them think a £50m RW signing isn’t required, and a raw £15m+ one will suffice and they spend big on a CM instead.

I'm still not sold on him, particularly at the price.

[Shearergol]

If we sign a £10m keeper they won’t be good enough. It’s our weakest position already.

Money for a GK IMO doesn’t equate to quality. 
 

Like Ramsdale for any club will be £25m+ ffs, can pick up goalkeepers from all over Europe of same ability at worse for 1/5 of that. Like Hermanson joined Leicester for around £7m I believe.

 

The value in goalkeepers is so thin unless you are signing the truly elite.

Diogo Costa would be transformational but not happening

I just fired up Fifa 23 after not playing it in an age. The commentator has really gone hard in a Steve McClaren way to pronounce none UK names "correctly". His De Bruyne was painful.

I've just stuck FIFA20 on and nearly vomited at our starting line up

I hope he at least has the sense not to go to CFC. 

[midds]

I think whoever manages to sign Huijsen this summer already has one eye on flogging him to Madrid in 2027 tbh. I'd include us in that too I think

[SUPERTOON]

 

[gbandit]

Not convinced

He’s absolutely no where near good enough either, but I get your point. Hasn’t he got something like a 40% save percentage this season?
