rayk Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 A few mentioned Tyreese Campbell earlier. Two problems..... (1) He’s probably out for the season with an injury. (2) Because we paid £27m (min) for Watkins any half decent ST in the Championship is being quoted at £25m. If he wasn’t injured and was available for £15m then fair dos but otherwise......not for me ATM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciggiesnbeer Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 It will be interesting to see who we go after in Jan. For me the top priority is a Left back. Targett might get injured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkyvilla Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 Williams and Tuanzebe from United plus a young striker are the best suggestions I've seen in the last few pages. I'd be really happy with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d forgotten, although to be honest I don’t think I’d seen him play until this year, you’re right! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure Smith would like Rico Henry but handing more cash to Brentford at the usual high price is probably something we don’t want to do in January. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 Pretty certain that we won't be going for Brandon Williams, we won't be looking for somone to replace Targett in the starting eleven and Williams wouldn't come to us as backup, and even if he would, United would still probably want £20m plus for him and we won't be paying that for a reserve left back. Edit: Just read that Man Utd only want to loan him out, which makes it even more unlikely as they're not going to loan him to us only for him not to play. Not a great suggestion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 Great suggestion for Tyrese Campbell, from what I've seen he's a good player with potential to get better, don't think he'd cost more than say £15m either, with Watkins it was different as he was more proven and watching him play it was obvious that he'd make it in the premier league, which was why there was a number of clubs wanting to sign him. Just a shame about Campbell's injury, although I doubt we'll be going for a wide forward in January anyway, someone to play through the middle more likely.

MrSmirch Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 Omar Richards at Reading is linked with Everton, Palace, Brighton. Jay Dasliva at Bristol, Chelsea academy product. Or a for a very obscure option you've got Liberato Cacace a 20 year old kiwi in the belgian league Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arguably he has more potential, given he’s only 20/21 whereas Watkins is 24/25, which probably explains why even though he’s less ‘proven’ Stoke more likely to demand £25m than £15m. Apart from anything else, it means we should send Davis out to the Champs just so that we can work out how much he’s worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rayk Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 I’d like us to be more adventurous this coming window as much as possible. Time for Lange to show his worth imo. I mean I’m a novice but the following players in the following positions make sense to me. LB: Owen Windjal (AZ) £10m Faitout Maouassa (Rennes) £10m Melvin Bard (Lyon) £5m Mitchel Bakker (PSG) £5m A LCB would be nice but if Engels is not favoured Hause can be deputy dog LCB to Mings. Which means Tuanzebe comes into the picture......and I think he’d be brilliant. As for DCM there will be a few choices out there SHOULD Luiz ends back up at Man City. But I think Lisandro Martinez (Ajax) - £15m could be the best option right now as he can cover CB and also DCM. Answers on a postcard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
