I'm not too sure we'll bring in a right winger. I wouldn't be surprised if Jota, Green and El Ghazi (as a contingency right winger) isn't the starting squad depth for that position. You've also got Elmo who can play there too. That's not to say we couldn't do with a top signing. I just think priority lies elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DakotaVilla Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Cracking signing and a bargain at 12m. Might have work to do on heading but his ball carrying stats were better than Axel’s last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What’s the problem in Smith bringing in players he already knows? What’s the problem bringing in players who already know him, his style of play and his personality? Especially young players tipped for big things. Konsa was selected over Tuanzebe in the u21s, wasn’t he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaVilla Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 (edited) assuming we sign Konsa, our signings are: Hause - 3m, Targett - 11.5m, Wesley - 22.5m, Jota - 3m, El Ghazi - 5m, Konsa - 12m, Mings - 20m. Total : 77m Lets assume our transfer budget is 120m?, that leaves 43m left. DM - 20m? GK - 10m? R/L Winger - 15m? these figures kinda show how close we are to our limit now in terms of spend, if 120m is our soft or hard limit.

wilko154 Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Very happy with Konsa, he’s a good young player in the same mould as Tuanzebe. Another player who could potentially have an England future. We are now able to mould our own player, it must have become obvious that Tuanzebe wasn’t available and we don’t have time to wait until the end of the window. A centre back lineup of Mings, Chester, Konsa and Hause is solid. I would expect to see Mings and Chester start unless Hause or Konsa play very well during pre-season. As for still bringing in Cahill, not a chance. We don’t need him and it would be a waste of money. John Terry has all the experience we need on the training pitch, and that is where Konsa will need working on. On the pitch Cahill would oust Mings who Konsa will play alongside at some point. Nice to see we have gone for targets like Webster and moved on when we have been priced out. It’s a warning shot fired at Phillips, Butland and Benrahma. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man Utd cannot do one because that is how football works. Delph did it for us. Call me nuts but I would give Man Utd £30m for him now. I rate him as much as you do maybe. But if he really wanted to come here he wouldn't / shouldn't have signed that contract. But fair enough, and you're right, Delph did do it for us. Man Utd don't need the money though. Unfortunately, he would probably cost us well over 30m now. Give us the option of that with a loan and see how he goes and I'm down. Will it happen? I doubt it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Tammy wasn't firing we suffered last year up front through lack of competition. I'd take someone who could play winger or striker to a high standard a la Jarrod Bowen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
