And we obviously does not have a list of any candidates after that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reassuring bit for me is the positions identified. At worse it will be 3 positions and they will be focus (CB/ST/CM). Ideally we need more, but if we want quality we have to narrow down the transfers and position priority does that. Really hope we get a proper out of the blue CM signing that’s a heavyweight. Having another top quality CM will help us so much more than say a Wissa. Just can’t be understated how much we drop off when we have don’t have one of our regulars (or one of the regulars has an off day and there’s nothing to change it with quality).

We know that, we knew that last summer, so to go around lowballing bids for in-demand players we absolutely cannot be surprised that we've only got one in. We conduct our business like we're shopping on FB marketplace. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe some gentlemen agreement for price to be low which opens door to a move to Brazil. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

andycap Posted July 26, 2025 Share Posted July 26, 2025 Ekitike transfer they wanted 85 million euros we offered 70 two days later we pulled out even though he was happy with the wage and terms. Gave liverpool the chance to swoop in. He obviously was our top target give them near to what they want. Not a country mile away. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

andycap Posted July 26, 2025 Share Posted July 26, 2025 If we want guehi we have to promise him first team football to trump any wage that gets offered to him from a top six hijack. Should of done the same with Trafford. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
