However I'd like us to go to Lille and pick up Boubakary Soumaré. Box to box midfielder, strong, quick, technically gifted and tactically very good. He kept getting through on Sunday with a favourite DM of mine Valentin Rongier. Two other players we should look at if a certain kosovan doesn't turn up are Jonathan Bamba or Nanitamo Ikone. Both at Lille and they look like they've got the ability to play in the premier League. I really admire your optimism but no chance of that happening.

Meanwhile our owners doesn't seem to give a s*** and are shopping with an open wallet. Have thought about that a bit. I think we positioned ourselves well on the FFP side of things last season with Purslows knowledge and now don't have as much massive revenue streams missing that the big clubs or new stadium clubs have and our owners are advantaged by Covid fallout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When everybody is backing out of shares and the price is decreasing then unless a valid reason you buy into the dip knowing things will right themselves. We are buying when others are not buying and they are being reserved, knowing things will eventually right themselves and we’ve picked up some quality along the way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 I'd be happy with Rashica or Sarr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think priority is another striker even after Rashica, we can’t make last seasons mistake. Thing is, Traore can double as a CF. If it's only two more, i'd prioritise CM and LW. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFCDAN Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 Sarr would be great but that's surely a 30 million transfer, i just cant believe we have those kind of funds. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liverpool was his assumed destination, have to wonder has the Jota signing changed this , Haven't seen a lot of him , remember him destroying Liverpool, would a raw version of Mane be a fair comparison?

Kiwivillan Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 Having owned Sarr for most last season in Fantasy I should be excited but scored 5 goals and 6 assists and 3 goals and 2 assists came from games against Manure and Liverpool then he did bugger all else in the other games. I think he's media hyped because of who he scored half his season goal contributions against 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WallisFrizz Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 I think we will regret it if we complete this window without strengthening our midfield. It is the priority area for me, along with competition for Targett. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read somewhere that he was going to Man U on loan. Sounds like there’s some game playing going on to possibly put pressure on other deals. With Liverpool it could have been to help the Jota deal over the line, with us possibly Rashica. In Man U’s case it’s all part of their policy of running around like headless chickens because nobody is doing what we tell them anymore. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like he hasn't been properly backed. We are severely lacking quality options in midfield. And Hause, Engels as CB backups are both terrible. 28 minutes ago, villalad21 said: I love how most clubs are really conservative and spending very little this summer because of Covid-19.
