Popular Post MentalM Posted May 21, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 21, 2021 I do not know anything about Turnbull However if the goal is to push Europe next season, our signings need to be on Martinez level. Clear upgrades on what we have (except LB, where we are in dire need for competition for Targett, not looking to upgrade). Another potentially talented CM isnt going to work if we are developing players like Chukwuemeka. If we get someone in that position it needs to be a clear upgrade on McGinn, Sanson. Personally I would prefer to get 2-3 players for some real money. LB: Another Targett, he needs competition DM: Sander Berge (I am Norwegian, and we are usually very critical to own players, but I really rate him). He is a ballplaying DM, Sheffield United used him as a box to box to fit their system, but his real excellence is in a playmaking DM role. I expect it to be many teams who want him during the summer. CAM/AML: A player who can play atleast both of these roles. Basically a clone of Grealish (who will be a bit worse thou, since Grealish is god). We need another can opener. Who? I dont know. Buendia, Rodrigo de Paul, Matheus Cunha, Amine Harit, Florian Wirtz, Oyarbazal, Bryan Gil, Fulgini. Just mentioning alot of players I know have had a great season. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah we're going to struggle to attract a striker like Tammy given we play one up top and Watkins is a nailed on starter every week - Wes will be his understudy. Maybe we swap Davis for Barry - but can't see why we'd spend in this area. Smith has said we need to add some creativity so I can see Pereira coming in quite quickly and one of Trez or AEG eventually shipped out. At the back there's only back up spots to compete for - so maybe a couple of talented youngsters to push Cash and Targett. So far that's x1 creative player and x2 yoofs - and we'd be improved - £60 mill max. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of us knew martinez would be at the martinez level before we bought him. The point being if the process says this is the player we want then I'm sure they will be an improvement.

AvfcRigo82 Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 I think we could see atleast 7 or 8 players arriving this summer transfer window. Once the players who leave us on a Bosman or sold we will be looking a wee bit bare. I cannot wait for this transfer window to open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HKP90 Posted May 21, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted May 21, 2021 So have we all cooled a bit on Edouard, then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AvfcRigo82 Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 I think we will look to sign a GK, possibly a RB depending what happens with Guillbert?, a CB, LB, DMC, AMC, AMR & ST. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I trust the process 100% I do not agree on the Martinez level, clearly he surpassed all expectations but we did know we bought Heaton level of a goalkeeper (even thou consistency could be questioned due to lack of games) Edit: My point of clear quality signings still stands, I think we need that for pushing Europe Edited May 21, 2021 by MentalM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just can't see any top striker coming in happy to play second fiddle, and it would be a waste of budget not to use them - Wes if he gets his form back would do that job well I think. Maybe we can replace Davis, but get the feeling we will be leaving spots open for the kids - i.e. Barry. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HKP90 Posted May 21, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted May 21, 2021 While we are in Scotland, Ryan Kent? He’s running at around a 1 in 3.5 strike rate for Rangers but he’s mobile and can beat a player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive never seen him play but winning those awards at just 21 is impressive. Could be an interesting transfer if it goes ahead. I think Ramsey will be loaned, Conor will be gone and Barkley will go back to Chelsea. I also think we may move Nakamba on. Chukwuemeka might be one more season away from making an impact so there is room to add to the midfield dept. Fully agree with this except the bold. Nakamba does a cracking back up DCM job when called upon and can act as a Park Ji-Sung type player for us against a super attacking high quality team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess we just disagree on how much of a gamble it was I have so much faith in the process of identifying players, I do not think we have done any "bad" transfers since we got promoted, bar perhaps Engels, but again at that price its not even bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have to disagree, Nigel - it wasn't hype with Martinez, we'd seen what he was capable of at the back of end of last season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
