The club is such a different outfit these days. I remember in years gone by signings like this that would have been perfect for us, the club just let them pass us by or they couldn't sell them the glorious vision of "ticking along". Now it seems we're getting in there early and professionally and really selling a plan for them and the club.

 

I'm not saying either is that next level signing but it's a big step towards not seeing the likes of Dummet, Richie and to a lesser extent Krafth coming off the bench or in for injured players. I like all of those mentioned and appreciate what they have done for the club but you can't argue that they aren't limited and holding us back.

Krafu as 3rd choice CB for 1 more season maybe. But yeah ??

I'd be happy to move out Krafth if we get a decent enough offer

Maybe a youngster as well


Links to Zano Dabast this week 

 

I think we will sign another young CB tbh - depends on European football imo

Think he’s just got a 1 year extension, but if the boss is happy to move him on and we get a figure for him that’s OK.

If we manage to get these 2, do people think that's our business done in defence? 

 

 

Outfield yes, but I'm wondering about a keeper. A young one maybe, one to be 3rd choice, given Karius is off.

Is that thread title true? Doesn't seem as confirmed as it suggests from hhe articles. 

 

Hope and Edwards seem to think so. Jacobs and Fab are less definitive.

Incoming, yes.
 

Outgoings of Dummett, Lewis and potentially Targett.

who's gonna sign  Lewis?

not even good enough for watford.

sure he still has a year left on his contract.

He played 36 games for them this season to be fair.

impressive, just not the most positive feedback from some of their fans

Lacelles is far more likely the one that’ll move on surely?
 

Schar, Botman, Tosin, Burn, Kelly, Krafth as our senior CBs is more than sufficient.

Lascelles is out long term (another 6 months) so ain't going anywhere soon.

Tough to move someone on who is out for 9 months with an ACL like

Man, this is such good news. Especially as it says we are after Kelly too and that is progressing well.

 

Sorts out what would have been huge defensive issues going into next season, with two players that in my opinion will surprise people a lot.

 

Not surprised that the Olise news is coming up off the back of this too, as landing both Tosin and Kelly on a free, has likely meant we can go big on that right wing position as the main area to upgrade now.

 

Fantastic news if this all plays out as the article states.

 

If we spend big money on one position it might be a striker rather than right wing IMO.

Potentially, but of all the areas we are (apparently) looking to strengthen, RW seems to be the most obvious first-team signing.

Not if we are selling Wilson.

I like the idea of looking at these signings.

 

Only concern is offering a salary which is above and beyond what he's worth. 

 

If it turns sour we are stuck with a player we can't shift.

Right wing is where we need a first team player more urgently.

 

Even if Wilson leaves any striker coming in will be the secondary option.

 

We have been linked recently with Tammy Abraham, who Roma are asking around £25 million for. That is the kind of deal and price we will be looking at for any option upfront I imagine.
