TheMelvillan Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 whoever we sign i hope it is someone who can control and dictate the game. its great that we have signed exciting players and ones who can change the game but what jack brought was game management and control when needed. dont know who will have that leading quality out of our current bunch. I think the like of JWP would bring that as he is captain of the team with an obvious football intelligence about him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jbvilla909 Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 Didn't Cantwell score 9 goals in his debut Prem season? If so, pretty decent return for a young player in a relegated team... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villaphan04 Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 Yeah I’m not sure why we’d loan Tuanzabe again w/o an option to buy after he signed a new deal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delphinho123 Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 Good to be back. Time to rip up the rule book and overhaul the starting XI and try to push on. Obviously, we need to be sensible about it but we will only get ourselves into another 'Grealish' situation next season with Watkins/Martinez if we don't keep progressing up the table. Spend the 140m we have on 3 first team players and a back up striker. Time to move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still pretty poor for a winger though. Edited August 4, 2021 by Laughable Chimp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkyvilla Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 I suspect we will start seeing people coming in pretty quickly 1 minute ago, Indigo said: Let's just say for the sake of the example that the links to new players are accurate and in the - extremely unlikely - event we could pull them off, how would we be feeling relative to last season if we ended up with the below? Martinez, Steer, NEW (?) Cash, Guilbert, Konsa, Tuanzebe, Mings, Hause, Targett, Young Luiz, Nakamba, JWP, Sanson, McGinn Bailey, Buendia, Cantwell, Traore, El Ghazi Watkins, Abraham, Wes/Davis + youngsters I think that squad would do well and very achievable. Has plenty of depth to it and be moulded into a few different formations. Doesn't rely on one injury-prone player too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wes Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 The Tuanzebe signing is fine. We weren't going to be replacing Konsa and Mings as our starting pair. He is already familiar to our staff and a number of our players. We can focus this summers funds elsewhere. There probably is a small loan fee, but all things considered, not a bad deal to have the "Four Centre Backs" issue resolved for 12 months in this manner - at least on paper. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same for Abraham. Tuanzebe is ok on loan if he's ok being backup, for that reason i dont see him coming here, Manure wont want him being backup to Mings and Konsa, and he aint gonna be in the first team, Maure will want him to play, so it can inflate his price when they sell him on next summer. Also, Tuanzebe is the defender version of Davis, he's made of glass, take a look at his injury history. JWP is the only one i agree with on that list.

thabucks Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 some random and I feel achievable continental targets we should consider IMO.. Jonathan Bamba, Renato Sanches, Jonathan David all Lille… Romain Faivre LW - stade Brest… Arnaud Kalimuendo ST PSG. Hamed Junior Traorè AM US Sassuolo. Daichi Kamada AM Frankfurt. Christoph Baumgartner AM Hoffenheim. Thiago Almada AM/WF. Pedro Gonçalves AM Sporting. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
