Sweee Posted September 3, 2025 Share Posted September 3, 2025 Sell Gordon depending on his form this fall, consider Leao and Barcola for LW in winter. Get Frattesi or Fermin Lopez in for the midfield in the summer. Go for Scalvini for the CB position too. While we made some decent signings, i dont see anyone except possibly Woltemade to raise the teams ceiling. I fear for the future if we dont get a blue chip signing in that strengthen the starting eleven asap, who knows what Guimaraes, Tonali and Livra will think next year Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRC Posted September 3, 2025 Share Posted September 3, 2025 I think the most important thing is to look to the next generation now. We should be looking at 18/19 year olds who can replace Wissa, Bruno and Joelinton. In a few years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leao/Barcola 85-95 mil. Cannot stress how important one of these player would be. Frattesi 40 mil, Lopez probably 60-70 mil, Scalvini 40-45mil also. 2 of these players from my list is actually realistic, atleast the midfield and CB Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always been a big fan of him and a long term believer when others wanted us to cancel the loan. I as one of the first players I bestowed the crown of baller on. I just think he can be got at by class wingers much more than Tino can. Which for some means I don’t rate him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Icarus Posted September 3, 2025 Share Posted September 3, 2025 Been thinking about this because my brain hasn't quite switched off from transfer mode, but where do you think we upgrade next?

So not from my fantasy, and to me, Lopez and Barcola for that price actually is realistic Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
