Only thing I'd say is N'zogbia had a couple of seasons like that at Wigan when he got hot in last two months and was goals and assists machine so that's the caution whereas someone like Saint Maximn has been good for two seasons running now for Newcastle so I rate him a level higher. Saint Maximin hasn't actually done much at all this season, for various reasons. I'd say buying consistenly excellent wingers is about as hard as it gets when it comes to recruitment.

He's a match winner and I wouldn't be dissapointed if we managed to sign him, he would be a better option than someone like Lookman imo. Of course he would be better than lookman! He will also 3 times more. I would like to think we could buy a better winger for likely 50m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 I’m a big fan of Saint Maximin and wondered how Newcastle got him for 17m when Arsenal were paying 3 times that for Pepe. Apparently his attitude was questioned by former manager Viera. It was suggested he didn’t work hard enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KenjiOgiwara Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Whatever we do about our winger issues, we need pace and directness. Who that is I have no idea. If we sign another bang average player that loves to cut inside I think I might top myself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted April 28, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted April 28, 2021 (edited) Chelsea apparently willing to sell Abraham for £40m in the Summer. I'd like him in our squad but not at that cost. Way too much imo. Has West Ham written all over it imo. Edited April 28, 2021 by PieFacE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

West Ham with Barkley for Rice and probably 15 million, it seems to obvious not to happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante_Lockhart Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 If we're insisting on this formation we need someone 6' who can win aerial battles in the middle of the park. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe give us the option of 4, 3, 1, 2 as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It's Your Round Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 I’d quite like to see Tammy back, think he’d do well for us. But we wouldn’t be the only team in for him. I could see Leicester going for him, they’ll need to replace Vardy at some point and although Tammy is a different type of player I could imagine they’d have him. £40m is a lot as he’s not the most clinical striker.

I can’t see us affording him given he’s signed new contract and no one else for that matter , they hung on to Tarkowski because they priced him out of the market and rightfully so no team should be forced to sell if they don’t want to like us and Jack 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I'd rather both of those to Buendia too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 I don't think we're at the point of taking the best players from teams below us yet. Burnley and Newcastle don't need to sell their best players and I can't imagine them kicking up a fuss to join us. I think we'll still have to scout Europe and the championship again. But if we do the same again in other key positions, we'll continue to progress. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
