alreadyexists Posted September 29, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted September 29, 2020 (edited) We have a severe lack of double barrelled names in our senior squad. There are a few in the academy which we could promote to help out that shortage. But Loftus-Cheek would certainly help out. Barkley could consider becoming Barkey-Smith or something, probs wouldn’t be interested unless he did that. Calvert-Lewin, Alexander-Arnold, Ward-Prowse, Maitland-Niles, Walker-Peters would all be good too.

Ajax have submitted a bid for Klaussen leaving Werder with two offers on the table for two players. Will they sell one or sell both? Looks like we will find out on October 5th. If by then our bid for Rashica isn't accepted then we still have a week left to get another target in. 7 days of that transfer window left and another international break is also upcoming. We just need to wait for Werder to decide, but they seem convinced that "they may never see Rashica in a Werder shirt again". Reading bremens forums.they are convinced rashica will be sold this window..sure chong was brought into the squad as a direct replacement for him..werder have to sell him purely as a financial matter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with the theory that he may be holding out for Dortmund in case of a last minute Sancho merry-go-round. If Villa do miss out I hope we don't get dragged into a Dutch auction for Benrahma in the final week, Brentford will dish out another dry bumming to his suitors - although I've no complaints about spending big to land Watkins.

Could it be that the comment about rashica not playing in a Werder shirt was made before Ajax interest was made klaussen therefore it’s changed the landscape somewhat, therefore they may only need to sell one. trying to be hopeful, but it’s getting harder.

Fulham and WBA look doomed so players would need their head checking signing there long term. Fulham & WBA may also be reluctant to spend big and pay high wages, with one foot already hovering above the relegation trap door, albeit after only a couple of games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntrimBlack Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 I like Sarr, and think he ticks a lot of boxes. I would think Ramsey must be pushing for a first team place at some point. He has done well, though he has not come up against the better PL teams yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RLC would also offer a massive height presence (6”3’) in CM too. RLC barely plays dcm. He’s mainly a box to box cm. As for the height, Barkley is hardly a midget, he’s 6cm (according to transfermarkt), so about half an inch shorter than RLC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They already look set for a relegation dog fight. Sad for them isn't it? I'm not sure they look set for a relegation fight though, they don't seem to have much fight in them just yet.

It was yes. They may well do but depends what their financial situation is.. and would €12m be enough? They may forecast further losses on the horizon and may need to sell both, we will soon know (frustraingly) what they decide to do. Again, the talk of Rashica and wages is complete bollocks. We wouldn't have tabled a bid if the terms didn't suit the player to begin with, it would have been pointless! I think it's safe to say that most posters on here knows that it's Werder & Baumann we are waiting on, not the player and wage demands.

Ramsey: I'd like him to get half a season of first team starts in the Championship, the other half subbing on for us when a game is fairly 'safe'. Better for him to build up experience gradually this season without blowing his confidence if he dropped a clanger and cost us a few points. Gonna be a player though and will be good to have another regular starter eventually from the academy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if it doesn't happen, the insinuation that we were never in is madness IMO. Multiple reputable journos have commented on it. Bremen themselves have commented on it. Our own in house sources have given credence to it. Add to that, we have been linked since last year! ( Another fact I notice people keep brushing under the carpet ) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
