Delphinho123 Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 Would it not be an idea to extend El Mohamady's contract by 12 months and send Kessler out on loan for a season to a Championship club? Same with Carney and Barry. I still think they may be 12-18 months off a first team role. (could be wrong). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt anyone would be comfortable extending Elmos contract you would really have to be content with staying still, the only player you mentioned was Pedro Neto id take him 1000%. We are pushing on to a different level as a club so I'm seeing us suggest players as if we are just finishing above relegation which doesn’t look like will be the case. Our owners have hugeeee plans and we need to adjust our mindset to bigger talent and bigger things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barnsley have an option to buy for £14m and if they don't come up I'm sure they'd be happy to sell it to us for a profit. Just watched a couple of videos of him and I definitely wouldn't for that sort of money. He looks very raw and lacking in the technical side of things - I don't think we're in need of another big, strong option up front as we've got KD and Wesley who can do that. We're lacking in guile, creativity and skill IMO - I think the money would be of much better use spent towards a Buendia type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 I find the Trossard hype a bit much just like Leroy Fer because he played well vs us Brighton fans cant stand him and prefer Lallana to start over him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkLillis Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 It will be very interesting (and I hope exciting) this summer. The type of players that can actually expect to go straight in to our first team will now cost £40m plus. Will we spend that? I think we might but Villa have a track record of stopping just short....

I just don’t see him making us a great deal better in the premier league. Excellent championship player not convinced as a prem player You obviously didn’t see his stats when he was in this league and the teams he has been linked to for 40m Not being funny not only are we not above him, he is at the top end of whose could get Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Fulham go down, I'd go all out for Lookman. I don't think we'd get any of the others. I think if Lookman had stayed on the pitch against us, we'd have lost at the weekend. I was surprised at how physical he is as well. Not strong, but not afraid to put his body on the line a bit. He's exactly the type of player we need and reminds me of a young Ashley Young the way he cuts inside and whips the ball into that 'corridor of uncertainty'. I think he's a player that gets bums off seats and If he's available, I'd genuinely move heaven and earth to bring him in. He also fits the profile of player we're looking for. Young, British and a high ceiling. If he costs 35m, so be it. Get it done. Did I mention I like Lookman a lot? 17m is his supposed price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why buy back ups at all we need to be buying players that are challenging for the shirt otherwise how are they pushing the incumbent shirt holder to improve. The top teams have completion not an 11 then some shit that they use in emergencies. I don't think we're there yet. We need to find enough quality starters first, and I'd put my money on them.

useless Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 Barry also plays a lot on the wing for our U23s and played there for England U18s last week, and I'd imagine when he breaks into our first team that's where he will play initially. He and Philogene-Bidace are partly why I don't think we will go for more than one winger in the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
