Sulberto21 Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 RB Salzburg have shown that you don't need to spend lots of money to get high quality players. Some of the best players in Europe have come through their system. Haaland, Mane are just a couple of the obvious ones that I can think of straight away. The main objective of this window is getting more speed in to the first 11. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 (edited) I've mentioned him in the past so just seen if he's still at Monaco and didn't realise Kamil Glik signed for Benevento a month back. They're back in Serie A with one of the lowest wage bills in the major european leagues. If they can sign an experienced CB who's played over 100 games for Monaco in last 3 seasons and has 70 + caps for his national team I'm not sure why we keep on saying we can't sign these type of players, he's exactly the sort we need alongside Mings to calm down him down when he gets excited on the ball. Given Monaco are in loads of financial trouble surely we should be looking at someone like Golovin? Edited August 28, 2020 by VillaChris 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I don’t think we’re interested either Was merely answering the question on one marque signing, which TRO was suggesting was needed for the club to match its stated ambition. Did not claim that the club are interested or that it fit the clubs transfer policy. £70-90 million per year wages. I think not. His wage could be structured where signing on fee was substantial. In order for wage policy to have some semblance of normal. Would be akin to paying a transfer fee. I don’t believe he’s past it. Our very own Cambiasso. FWIW I don’t have a problem with the targets that are being suggested in the press. I trust the hierarchy to get the right recruits in to progress to a more mid table footing.

Gazza was the same, always looked a little off balance, like the ball was getting away from him, at the end of his outstretched toe and his body was awkwardly trying to catch up, rather than him being over the ball in control. Gazza was all upper body awkwardness, Swift looks like his legs and feet are in charge and his body just follows. Quick feet, has some lovely movement. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rbcuk Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 After staying up expected some signings that would improve the starting eleven and not linked to players from the championship that will be at best squad players, the likes of swift will just replace Lansbury on the bench at best Going to be another struggle this season if we don’t get improvements in 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farlz Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 I'd be perfectly fine with the signings of Watkins and Cash. They both improve us, especially Watkins. We better bloody sign Benrahma while we're having a shop down there though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(The part where Wes says he'll spend money) We'll spend money just like we did last summer. However it's starting to feel like to me we're going to be spending the 80-100m on pretty much every signing as young, lack of top flight experience and just potential. If we're signing 6 players this summer I have no issue with 3 of them being of that ilk but the other 3 need to be far more proven in a decent league and also a regular for decent international standard team. That's if we want to be a decent top half team again in the near future anyway. If we're all happy finishing 16-17th for the next 5 years then crack on with what we're doing. What would get us in the top half imo: Watkins Rondon (season long loan) Rashica Glik (already signed for Benvento but that sort of experienced CB) Seamus Coleman 5 signings there that really improve our starting 11. You'd get them for about 60m aswell but for a couple convincing them to come isn't easy as we're seeing with Rashica.

We have all heard these big promises before. Both Lerner and Xia spent big at first. At the start of each reign everyone was convinced we'd be back where we belong in no time. That's why I'm skeptical. Not fear mongering, just skeptical and increasingly nervous with each day that passes without a signing.
