He'll go down along with a few of those Liverpool youngsters where you wonder how they manage to get such high fees for them He's not a £20m footballer, not a chance Willock then jumps to £30m, ESR would start with a 4...its madness 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suspect we will need to wait, especially with Euro’s about to start. I think we went early for Buendia because it probably suited Norwich to deal early so they’ve time to build. I also suspect it would have suited Arsenal to wait and try and shift people first which wouldn’t have been good for Norwich. So I suspect we flexed our financial muscle but also out manoeuvred Arsenal, we also seem to not piss off clubs when buying players which is I think important. I’d love to see another follow quickly but can’t see it. As I said previously though, the stuff a couple of weeks ago about us not spending much this window... not buying it. I think we will spend circa £80-100m again. 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As is we have 4 players for 3 positions. For me ideally a LW but others prefer Jack outwide so whatever. Aside from. That depth is probably the necessary next step. LB, CB, GK (could we re-sign Heaton now his move to united has fallen through), and ST are the Notable areas where we lack depth especially if we plan to send Davis out on loan which I would hope we would do. Whether to develop as a first team player or to sell on as he enters his final contract year. LW = AEG with Watkins as 3rd choice, but only if you rate your support striker.

I'm probably el Ghazis biggest proponent on here but there is no way next season should he be starting more than 20 games Watkins should not be 3rd choice as the LW. He is a great striker but not good enough as a winger. I'm of the opinion grealish should be a CAM do I would be signing a LW to make el ghazi the 2nd choice and grealish the 3rd. Especially as I thi k we need some more pace in attack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CVByrne Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 We'll make another signing in region of 30m in midfield. Then left back and maybe another centre forward depending on thoughts on Wesley in pre season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd prefer it if we spent a chunk on a much better ball playing centre back to replace Engels than a back up left back. I'd like to see Mings moved back out to left back for a few games. Maybe Conor Coady or Ben White?? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now is the time to break into Europe and if we do the extra spending is justified by increased revenue and more importantly increased attraction to top quality players. I reckon there will still be 100 mil left in the kitty. Maybe an extra 20 mil on top of that to get some more depth. As we need 4 depth players on top of in my opinion 2 more first team players. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobzy Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 1 hour ago, Wes said: I think Lange will look to the continent for value for that backup to Targett role. We've been linked with Ghislain Konan from Reims which makes a lot of sense. 25yo - so can sign a 3/4 year contract and still have value. Has played International football before which helps with the new Work Permit rules. Most importantly he's only got one year left on his current contract so is a prime value transfer target as clubs hate losing players on frees. He would likely be "cheap" in the modern-day sense that it probably wont be in excess of £10m. Hasn't it been quoted somewhere that we'd looking at players with English football experience? Not saying that we wouldn't look at the continent (it would be daft to rule out players from abroad completely), but I don't think we'll be focusing resource there.

zab6359 Posted June 7, 2021 Author Share Posted June 7, 2021 I can't see Jed Steer being 2nd choice keeper next season? With Heaton gone that leaves a big void strange how people think we need need 19 right backs but don't give a GK a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mings has said he can no longer play as a LB he can't get up and down the pitch that many times a game with his hamstrings anymore. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
