Young, huge potential, already got lots of first team experience. Covers all bases for me. Wasn't the quoted fee £50m though ? Agree with your analysis though.

I would imagine we're going to try and sign another CM and CB at least. Lots of reports that we're trying for Tuanzebe. I'd love us to go and break our transfer record on a high profile CM. Could probably do with a GK too. Edited August 7, 2021 by PieFacE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 I think Sanson could well be the DM people think we are going to buy if he can adapt to the league quickly enough. Wasn't that the point of buying him in January? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KMitch Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 2 minutes ago, The Fun Factory said: We have history of turning B2B players to DM. Look at Stan. He is a number 8, very similar to McGinn. He'll be best for us in a 433 alongside McGinn as two 8s ahead of Douglas Luiz. I'm not in the "we need a DM to solve our midfield problems" camp. I'm still adamant our defensive problems last season were caused by Barkley's lack of contribution on defense when we played 4231. I see us switching back and forth between 433 and 4231 this season, depending on who is fit and who is in form. Buendia, Bailey, and Ings give us a lot of flexiblity and attacking options now and Sanson allows us to play a strong 433, or compete with McGinn for the the solo number 8 spot in a 4231. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest av1 Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 No idea who, but I think we’ll probably break our transfer record again before the window shuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would surprise me. I think we have hard nosed professionals running the club. Unless something gives with JWP I don't see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 We're in profit this summer so far. I can't see it staying that way. I reckon we'll spend another £50m at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
