Obviously both could/hope to be wrong IF he does sign. Doesn’t strike me as a keeper with authority and leadership that can command his area. That might come with time I’m not sure it will soon enough. It could be a signing just because Dubs has turned out to be so crap, rather than part of a grander plan.

Finding a full international, playing for one of the best teams in one of the top leagues. Give them a pat on the back. Ps Arsenal scouts are total geniuses for finding raw unproven talents like Isak...word is he could be one of the best Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s true. If so it’s a bit of money to spend in our current position if it’s like 20m when considering our priorities imo. Not saying it’s an extremely high price or anything. But if only for backup the. Maybe we could find something slightly cheaper without being as bad as Dubravka, I don’t know. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also difficult because Pope is definitely a PL number one, so can we carry two of those? I'm not against replacing Pope now with someone brilliant obviously.

Ketsbaia Posted Wednesday at 21:52 Share Posted Wednesday at 21:52 Man, if it means sacrificing a £60m winger for a £40m guy, fine. We've got to get this guy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted Wednesday at 21:56 Share Posted Wednesday at 21:56 I'd rather have the winger to be honest. Providing his shoulder is OK, Pope is perfectly adequate for the time being. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Jinx Posted Wednesday at 22:41 Share Posted Wednesday at 22:41 I love the whole willing a transfer into existence. There’s at least 1 every summer. The level of player has quite obviously differed massively pre and post takeover. But it’s easy to spot a trend of us ogling holding midfielders. Maddison, Paqueta, William Carvalho, Andreas Samaris, Boubakary Soumare, Tammy Abraham.. that’s just off memory. 2015 was the summer where the signings took everyone by surprise and hopes were high, why oh why they gave McClaren that privilege is beyond me but water under the bridge at this stage.

Sounds mental that he might disagree with N-O but it's possible that's the plan Plus you know, even more crazy the player might fancy a better alternative Edited Thursday at 05:51 by Fezzle Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a fair portion of people likely would prefer Mama over Trafford, at the expense of £20m, seeing as there’s no solid names linked at the moment for RW.

Mama genuinely seems a top, top level talent. Man City were happy to see Trafford go and use Ortega despite Ederson’s regular injury absences. His Burnley spell doesn’t scream confidence either.

Magpie Posted Thursday at 06:18 Share Posted Thursday at 06:18 I thought it was widely acknowledged that our interest was automatically ended when we didn't qualify for Europe. Sure he has no intention of joining a team not playing in Europe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronson333 Posted Thursday at 06:27 Share Posted Thursday at 06:27 Our scouts are mint, that’s ederson, this Georgian keeper, Wharton etc all identified before they showed their talents to a wider audience.

Pretty much, all clubs are basically on the hunt for the safe profile it’s part of the reason why we have so much trouble shifting our squad players, people would rather take the chance on a younger player who will improve, average players at their peak? Not so much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
