Ashley17 Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 This would be an excellent signing, the cost is basically double Thiaw though which makes it odd we're going for it with our alleged budget. The Gordon to Liverpool stuff won't go away and it worries me a little. What if we're now willing to spend more on a centre back because we're going to have a much bigger budget? Hypothetically, if Gordon leaves you've got Barnes with Osula (plus Joelinton/Willock) as back up and then you can focus all attention on the right sided player.

kingxlnc Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 If the choice was Guehi or Diomande/Silva for 60m which would you prefer? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
junkhead Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 Gah.. So torn on this.. I like Guehi, he's been very reliable for several years now playing for a 'weaker' team. But I'd prefer a more dominant aerial presence from a CB in the PL. Especially for 60 mil and more. Nikola Milenkovic went to Forest for 12 mil.. 1.95m, bit slow but athletic, leader, experienced in big games, mad serbian mentality, supermodel girlfriend.. much better option than Guehi for 60+ but ah well..

Geordie Boyo Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 (edited) I keep coming back and fourth after every hour or so to see a title change, but I know the chances are will be he signs for Chelsea, etc and Eddie was never in for him. We had that happen a couple of times last season with Diaby and Szoboszlai, so I’m trying not to get too excited that something like this would come our way.. …..but would be nice Edited August 2 by Geordie Boyo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 (edited) I think this would be a very good signing because he's a very good player. I'm not sure the perfect signing actually exists and on that basis I don't often hold signings to that high a standard. Given we paid 45m for AG who was "shite", it doesn't seem unreasonable that we would spend 50+ on a current England starter who's possibly got 8+ years to give us. Call me an absolute crazy daisy if you like though. Edited August 2 by STM Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dokko Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 Mamadashvili Livra Guehi Botman Hall Bruno Tonali Joelinton Gonzalez. Gordon Isak Do some damage that XI. We'd only be about £80m away from it if Guehi signs. Incredible really. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 2 hours ago, Hudson said: Not at all, and how the hell you came to that conclusion puzzles me. The point you made was that we needed CL players to play in the CL. As I said we got there without and bar injury’s and dodgy decisions gods knows how far we would have gone in the competition. Any way would be playing CL in the 26 season, 2 windows to upgrade on RW. Yeah an upgrade would be very nice but is it currently essential for the season ahead ? Currently I don’t think so. Considering long term injury’s we need to strengthen other places first, This season ahead is Top 4 and a cup final, are they good enough for that job ? Well yeah and again they have already done it. Last season they both ran them selves into the ground for us due to injury’s and were very rarely available together. Remember the Fatigue last season 🤪🤪 As for buying CL quality players well A, We cannot afford them and to be honest are not big enough to draw them. Yet. B, We have a world class coaching network, that thanks to the scouting network has already found and coached 3 players into CL quality players and already looks like adding another 2 players to that list. Point B is our only viable model currently, until the PSR shackles are off anyway. I think we are at different stages here, I'm not expecting us to buy a CL player right now, but I want us to buy one with CL potential. I get what you are saying, but would I be happy with Miggy and Murphy going into this campaign. No, not really. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
