HalfTimePost Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 In the interest of some discussion, here are players SmarterScout.com have as matching Konsas profile last season (with atleast 600 minutes of play and max age of 26) Unlikely we'll sign another teams starter and some names are obvious no-gos, Militao, Diop and Zouma for example. Bornauw is about to move and Milenkovic is likely going to Juve. But some names in here maybe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delphinho123 Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 I hope we sign Romeu. He’s just what we need. And he’s Argentinian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PieFacE Posted July 18, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted July 18, 2021 I've always like Romeu but he seems to be injured a lot from memory. Would be pretty happy if we managed to sign with JWP or Romeu though tbh. Romeu is far more likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has hardly set the world alight and would still be a risky move for his price tag. Granted it would be a statement signing, but a gamble nevertheless. Lingard scored 9 goals with 4 assists in 16 games. He's a risk free bit of business who would slot straight into a PL team; he would suit our style of play perfectly. I also think we have no chance of signing either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t understand mate edit: PG5 beat me to it Sanches in the process of resurrecting his career; his stats from his whole career so far are poor. Lingard had a bad season with United, but he's proven it was a blip last season with West Ham. He's worth buying. Last season I wouldn't have touched him as he had become an unknown. Last season after January with Lingard in the team instead of Barkley we would have finished higher, no question about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also think we have no chance of signing either. Sanches was asked to be the foil for Bamba & Ikone so muted his attacking tendencies somewhat. He is ridiculous skilful and powerful and is a mix of seedorf and David’s - he’d walk into our midfield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They play good football and are a well run club. If they had a proper goal scorer last season they would’ve done much better. Yep Brighton should be challenging to be in the top half this season, they have a lot of signings coming through that they have been loaning out the last few years that are under the radar and developing nicely, look at the value they got for Ben White, possibly Bissouma, guess that’s the way to play the money ball system, not that they need to as their owner is loaded too and loves the club.

Sam-AVFC Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 It's not like Lingard has ever produced anywhere near those numbers before. I'd be very cautious about signing a soon to be 29 year old who was playing for his last top flight contract (whether moving or renewing) last year. Particularly when quite a few were ridiculous long range goals, which is unlikely to be repeated again 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last season after January with Lingard in the team instead of Barkley we would have finished higher, no question about it. Lingard has had more than just a bad season with Utd, he's been bad for years and more interested in media profile and other activities. 5 months success doesnt convince me otherwise. Yes he would've definitely improved us in the second half of last season no doubt but I still have doubts about long term or buying Lingard. He's a talent no doubt but he doesnt have the committed attitude that we have nurtured at this club and that we have in this squad and thus for me I'm not convinced he should be someone we should be targeting.
