Dodgyknees Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 Not going to be popular, but I’d look at one £40m striker and then..... Deeney too. Yes I know who he supports, but his hustle up top us what we miss. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pez1974 Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 We need to make sure we improve the starting 11 - probably with 3 or 4 very high quality signings, assuming no-one important leaves. Exact personnel depends on the starting system, definitely need at least 1 wide forward/winger; and a physical CM. Likely a CF, 2nd winger and/or a centre half. We also need to be careful who leaves - we can't leave the squad short of players as it seems its 5 subs from 9 again next year. For example, assuming Targett remains 1st choice LB, do we really want rid of Taylor for what, a couple of £m, and then spend a whole chunk of the budget for the new Habib Beye? Keep most of the squad together, a make sure the likes of Lansbury only makes the match day squad for cup games. Finally - get the young guns out on loan having tied them into a contract. Jack had a season with Notts County, and came back ready. Lets not keep them here and stop their development for a couple of Carabao cup outings off the bench. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was by far the best player in the Championship this season and they wouldn't let him go for 20 last summer... £40m!? I don’t think even the massively overvalued Brentford players are worth that much. I think a £20m offer, if they don’t go up, would be more than enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkyvilla Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 I think Tammy would be so good for us and do as much as I can to get him. Might rely on us giving Jack a massive pay rise to stay at least another year. I really like the new Mings and Konsa as starting centre halves, would like Tuanzebe on a loan to buy (won't be fit for 30+ games but versatile enough to be worth getting) or that Luyindama guy. Benrahma I'd put in the Tammy camp as great for our level and ambition. Then lots of pace elsewhere in the squad, especially as competition for the full backs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to be quick and decisive and I would guess we have two lists and can green light the nicer one of the two now safe. I do. We need players to hit the ground running. Lots of high profile foreigners struggle their first season in this league. Like Wesley. We can't afford more of that. This is also why I'm keen on more quality English players, or foreign players that have a season experience under their belt. While he doesn't really fit either the high profile name or the arguement above, I'd consider a player like Billing from Bournemouth. I like him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villan-scott Posted July 26, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted July 26, 2020 Excitement levels are high for our summer business now. We’ve heard talk of our ambition, now let’s see it in action. Be wary though, as £40m on a striker isn’t guaranteed to be top class. Look at Joelinton and Haller. Bring it on! UTV! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know he’d be £50m + but he’s worth it. Let Chelsea sign also sign Benrahma, then cheekily ask about Hudson-Odoi on loan for a year. Take Eze or Cantwell, then a real front 3, with Grealish feeding them. Perhaps a bit of a pipe dream, but not impossible. Abraham is unsettled at Chelsea though mate! Hudson-Odei poor attitude and thnk's he's better than what he s. Eze & Cantwell.... I've suggested both on here in past before this season. Yes, to both from me.
