The Prophet Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 18 minutes ago, Erikse said: £15m. We didn't pay £20m for Vlach because we thought that he was great. Edit: already pointed out. It wasn't a swap deal, it was PSR fudging. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
trx345 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Legitimate reasoning for nearly half the squad to be refreshed. Summer needed another signing like Tonali to raise the level of our first XI, we didn't get that, or the year prior. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Spaceman Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 It's January 9th and we're still in the League Cup, competing in the Champions League and sit 6th in the Premier League. We absolutely do not need to refresh half the squad, that is 12/13 players ffs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erikse Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 (edited) 42 minutes ago, The Prophet said: It wasn't a swap deal, it was PSR fudging. Yeah, but that's not the point. Saying that we got £35m for Anderson is like harshly criticizing the club for paying £20m for Vlach, and ignoring that they were linked.

Kimbo Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 I think the club will be after a minimum of 5 players between now and end of August. Keeper Osula replacement Willock replacement 2 defenders Personally I would try to sell and buy a replacement winger and another midfielder as well. Maybe an extra defender depending on how many end up leaving. I don’t think wingers will be a priority unfortunately, given how much we’ve already spent there.

John P Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Are we not going to be limited by squad places? Thought we maxed that out in the summer, so guess we only bring a senior player in if someone like Lascelles or Willock leaves. Can still bring in some young uns though I guess Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deuce Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 (edited) There’s a very real possibility that Thiaw is our only current CB (not including Yung Murf at this point) who’ll be here in two years time. Need to bring in some new guys starting this summer. In fact it’s only really Thiaw, Hall, and Livra across the back line that you’d be confident would still be here in two years, and the pressure to sell Livra will be high.

On the positive side, City have been linked with Kayode at RB from Brentford (21) so the hope is they go after him instead and leave Wor Tino alone.

ToonAbroad Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Ideally need a CB who could also cover at LB. And on a totally unrelated note, but how's Lloyd Kelly getting on a Juventus, I wonder. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 1 hour ago, TaylorJ_01 said: I think I'm against getting Anderson in purely out of principle. The idea we sell him at £35m, spend £55m on Elanga, then buy him back for £75m+ makes me a bit ill We'd be guaranteed to get shafted if we try and buy him back. He wasn't pulling up any trees when he was here for whatever reason. Maybe we used him wrong, or he just didn't click at the time. I'd be worried if he came back he'd end up getting a load of flak if he wasn't able to reproduce his form at Forest. Maybe if he becomes available further down the line at the right price we can see if it's still doable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deuce Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Anderson is the perfect midfielder for ManU under SAF. As it is, I’d hate for him to go there and be ruined (or go there and flourish for them). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
trx345 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 (edited) Replacing half the squad is mental is it? For us to sustain as a top 6 side - we need a new 'purple' in pretty much every area of the side. We could easily lose 10 players this summer that are not good enough for CL. Pope? Ruddy Gillespie Schar? Burn?
