I mean he doesn't need anyone on the inside to speculate that to be fair. Ramsdale doesn't sign need a new challenger to pope or new number 1. Targett released come summer so no backup to Lewis hall. Replacement to schar if he doesn't stay. Replacement for willock. That's a minimum not discounting tino or tonali going also needing to be replaced or if osula goes thats if you accept our current striker options in the hope they both better in their second seasons with us. Alot of work the desire to do business early will be there but players may well want to wait until after the World Cup. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To post something like that pal, you should at least have the knowledge to know that we're still in the Champions League. Should I? Is that how it works? Cheers 👍🏻 People who cannot look at a situation, and the job someone is doing objectively are equally tiresome pal. Some of you lot are as blinkered as Swifties and Trump fans. Few people are calling for his head but there are legitimate concerns, and questions that should be asked. Whether we’re in the CL or not 😉 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because someone else paid similar to take him off our hands, doesn't make the initial outlay on him good value. Good value would be spending the same money and getting 10-20 goals in return. He was largely poor if we're being honest. Callum Wilson was good value and we got nowt back for him; for me, it isn't determined by the money you received when they left but what they delivered on the pitch. That's why you sign footballers, not to balance the books. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfcastle Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Maybe Wood was good value in the modern way of thinking about it, in terms of the books, PSR etc. and in the old way of thinking he was a good old fashioned bad signing. We got our money back on Guivarch but we wouldn't say he was good value. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why you sign footballers, not to balance the books. He pinned the other teams back well in the press and he was very smart in blocking passing lanes out. Scored a couple of important goals. Got most of our money back despite being 1+yr older. Just some fans don’t realise what Wood, Almiron and Willock brought to the setup of the team and press before it’s too late… Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colos Short and Curlies Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Who would be people being happy to see start game 1 from the current squad? Tino/Miley at RB, Thiaw, Botman, Hall Bruno Tonali Miley Barnes Woltemade That's it for me, wouldn't be disappointed with Big Joe or Burn but ideally as squad players. Gordon if he sorts himself out. Realistically at least one of Tino and Tonali are off and quite possibly Gordon. So that's at least 4 first teamers to come in, a back up GK, Left Back and Right Back, competition for Centre Back x 2, winger for both sides and probably a striker. Only the 12 players to bring in Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do think a Howe striker needs to have something very self sufficient about them, and he seems quick and strong, a great outlet Liked the idea of Akliouche but don't think him and Woltemade would work in the same 11, too much ball to feet, especially for our team with the players we have and the way we play Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toon No9 Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 I thinke we should stay away from players who cost £50M+. Also stay away from players who is nearly 30 years old, unless it's an experienced back up cb at a low cost. We should target up and coming players in the range of £15-30M. Players who's between 18-25 years old. Maybe up to £40-45M if it's a young player with exeptional talent who we could get in a quick deal. Players such as Huijsen, Joao Pedro last summer And when we identify a player we want, we must move fast. We have lost many targets in recent years because we move to slow.

Jewel Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 6 hours ago, TRon said: Ross Wilson doesn't strike me as the type to tell Howe how to manage his squad. It sounds like we might have moved for this Zabi kid if everything had fallen into place, but if Howe is against loan signings in this window, Ross is not going to push players into the squad when they might barely get a kick. So basically Ross is an Eddie Howe 'yes man'? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 The squad doesn't need major surely. A GK and a CM to impact the first eleven and cover across the defence would do fine, depending on outgoings of course Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
