The return game is on the 24th so after that they might be up for selling him. Not before thou I'd imagine. He’s a big lad, that would certainly keep a few posters in here happy. Looks good too.

The Fun Factory Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 So the Birmingham Mail has spent all week liking us to players, now said we are 'done'. Its almost like they follow twitter feeds and then write a article. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thabucks Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 (edited) I do think we will get Will Hughes if Hourihane goes, he’ll improve the squad and push Dougie hard or allow us to move Luiz forwards if required. The left side feels somewhat short of the necessary quality but I’m guessing they have faith in JPB to step up, and with Young, Watkins and El Ghazi we do have enough options… And if only there was a player available whose versatility meant they could cover both CB & DM and getable this summer at a reduced price What I guess we also need to bear in mind, is that we may have targets lined up dependent on their club getting a replacement in beforehand and with money so tight across the big leagues I expect lots of deals will be struck in the days leading to the window slamming shut. Don’t think we will go big again, but one can hope ! Edited August 18, 2021 by thabucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 (edited) Quote The American, redeemed by Schalke 04 only last March after the excellent performances in his first season in Turin, has received more than one offer from abroad. The Juventus club is evaluating them and would not consider it non-transferable. https://gianlucadimarzio.com/it/juventus-mckennie-offerte-calciomercato-news-19-agosto-2021 Villa, please GTF In!

Vive_La_Villa Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 Wasnt Will Hughes considered one of Watford’s best players? For 6-7 million wouldn’t be bad business really. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delphinho123 Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 (edited) Weston McKennie next to JWP in the double pivot (whatever the f*** one of those is) sounds bloody good to me. Edited August 19, 2021 by Delphinho123 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M_Afro Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 If we are (and it’s a big if) putting all of our eggs in the JWP basket then that is total madness. He is not the type of midfield player that we do desperately need, you have to pay an English premium, a long contract premium and a my club do not want to sell premium! Add to that the fact that we will never be able to recover much of the transfer fee and the deal makes even less sense! I also think that he is almost the exact same player as Sanson but with a set piece boost. I genuinely hope that we don’t do this deal. The crazy thing is, there seems to be several, much more suitable deals, to be done. If (another big if) we could sign Sarr and Doukoure for the same price as JWP then we should just do it. They are both young incredible football players who are tailor made for English football. Both their values will increase significantly in time. If it’s JWP or nothing, then it’s nothing for me. Play 4-3-3 for the season and see where it takes us. Keep the money in the bank until the right player becomes available. Southampton have a massive chance of getting relegated. If they do, JWP will be available for £20m next summer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not saying that it’s in any way easy to do that, but I was under the impression when hiring McKenzie that we’d spend big but then throw in a couple of gems from abroad that would turn into the next Kante/Mahrez. I really hope we can shift Nakamba, El Ghazi, Wesley and Hourihane before the window shuts and bring in a couple of central midfielders. Yep; it does feel that due to squad size and existing numbers in CM we are waiting to move people on before adding. DS referenced ‘good numbers’ intimating that outgoings are needed for additions to be made. Edited August 19, 2021 by eholm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granted I imagine Bailey will play out there most of the time but those other options are not really options for me, they are the kind of options that end up in the result we got on Saturday 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would still like him here but apart from goal contributions he doesn’t offer more (statistically) than the players we already have - less in most cases. Seems a bit pointless at the moment.
