A Cambiasso type signing I’m wrong but Inter’s Christen Eriksen whose no longer wanted by Inter could be an 8 depending on your definition of what 8 is. Too much money but fits everything else except being out of our league. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too much money but fits everything else except being out of our league. I just think it will be someone in their twilight. Here for a year. Bit like Reina. I haven't listened to the podcast myself. However, it's something I've thought we might be in for, with Shakespeare on the management team also. Top level experience of winning. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A number 8, whose been there is going to cost though but yeah I think this is too much given the type of players we have been getting in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenjiOgiwara Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 Depending on where Grealish is supposed to play we need a CM or a LW. We obviously also need a RW. I'd argue we need a striker and CB as well. Perhaps even a GK, but I don't know the extent of Heaton's injury. The CB is debatable. I rate Konsa and I rate Mings. But I really don't want Smith to enter this naive "our plan is to outscore our opponents" without thinking defensive reinforcements. We have to build quality from the back as well.

The only one that fits and has *drum roll* premier league experience is Ramsey. He said No.8 about 5 times so I think he’s heard something from a source. Could be total nonsense of course, but it would be quite a signing. "" Ramsey signed a four-year contract with Juventus, which officially took effect on 1 July 2019. He would receive £400,000 a week making him the highest-earning British player ever based on basic salary " Can't see it with those wages 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrBlack Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 Just think there's no way we are looking for a number 8. Need a CDM, need a right winger, need a GK. Arguably need a centre back too. Breaking our transfer record on a number 8? Not happening. Will eat my cactus if it does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit of an embarrassing tweet IMO given the comparisons between 2 holding mids and a striker. Would've been better/more relevant if it just said "in 14 mins, Grealish has created more chances than Sancho". I don’t like the sound of it, let Sancho be better till the window closes.

Putting that together with the mystery visit to Brum of Juve’s Sporting Director a few weeks ago.. I reckon we might be in for another Aaron Ramsey.
