Delphinho123 Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 JWP would be great, but I’d definitely look at Wijnaldum too. Its being reported that Barca offered him a huge deal only for PSG to double that offer. If we just double that, maybe triple it, we’d have an ace midfield. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's "one of their own" and will see us as their competition for "best of the rest". As with VVD they'd hold us for at least 60m. Just not going to happen imo. You can see the logic. Imagine defenders having to worry about Jack and Buendia turning them inside out AND giving away a freekick to JWP on the edge of the area. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear a certain Argentinian National is a special free kick taker. Maybe we could convince Buendia and Martinez to corner him and whisper sweet nothings in his ear. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MotoMkali Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 Buendia doesn't win that many free kicks he tends to stay up even when he is fouled but he could definitely win more with his quick feet with some guidance from Jack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indigo Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 Thought some of the folk that had previously suggested this in the speculation thread were nutters but fair play to you all if this were to actually happen. Can't see it being the case mind. He's a good player and to be honest I think I've probably underrated him a bit as he's more of a solid all-round player than I gave him credit for. He'd certainly improve us and massively add a dimension we're lacking but I'd be tremendously surprised were it to happen when you factor in what it'd probably cost relative to his actual worth to us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah Emi was their best player but not really the same as Jack or JWP. There aren't many of them about which is why it's not just the valuation that makes the transfers tough. Jack, JWP, Kalvin Phillips, Foden, Rashford, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Zaha are the ones that come to mind. Grew up with their clubs, fan favourites, star men or captains. Buendia is a great signing but not the same. Which is why I think JWP will be a tough one to get over the line. Yes Portsmouth fans but he's been there since he was 7 and we don't offer CL football. Similar to us not getting Phillips Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delphinho123 Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 If JWP wants the move, then we will be in a strong position. I know he’s a Saints lad through and through but if he wants to play for England and challenge for Europe then he might push through a move. A 40m deal for a player who wants a to leave could be very attractive to Saints... Unfortunately, the same can be said for Jack. If he wants to move to City, It does make it harder for us, especially if Man City put a massive bid in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buendia wasn't with Norwich since he was 8 years old, came up through their youth system, and is their club captain. He's their best player, but isn't the heart and soul of their club. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
