All I know is that Leverkusen have an emphasis on players which are lightning fast Like you said, only we could manage to break ours before proper use Different Diaby, this one is one of the countless that the PSG academy has produced and Leonardo has discarded. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similar to the " Mendy " factory. Their are so many of them, and unfortunately, they all share a resemblance to the City one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought at the time that Diaby (and paulinho) was the reason leverkusen were willing to let Bailey go, 13 goals and 12 assists in 32 games last season, from the little I've seen he's same kind of player as Bailey, quick and direct 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be a good shout, not seen enough to know if he's at that level, he's played Europe before, they'd have a couple of years before he would need to be a key player there At £40m a move to Newcastle sounds potentially great business for them 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a fabulous start don’t get me wrong but we are targeting Europe, which bringing Gerrard in would suggest, then I hope we “really wanted” some others and it’s only because they’ll take a bit longer to get that we don’t have them shortly. I can’t imagine Kamara thinking wow, when the only additional “wanted” recruitment was Carlos. There has to be more to convince him. Well, yeah. I mean, this seems like a very measured assessment, and very patient, and I feel like we should be past that now. We still need a forward who will consistently score goals. We're bringing in about 50-55 goals a season, and we need to up that to 65 or so if we want to get into Europe, I would think. I don't care about "marquee" signings and names, etc. Ten more goals next year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 1 hour ago, Adam2003 said: Yes definitely. I think we have signed the three we really wanted and now it’ll be a case of seeing who we can move on and who comes up available at what price. I’m sure there will be one or two more but I think they prioritised the key ones and will now take a more relaxed/reactive approach. I think we get at least 1 - 2 more in minimum IMO. SG did say " We got big pieces of the jigsaw together while people were sleeping ". So on that front you are correct I think, we won't be panic signing but I highly doubt we are done. Obviously the problem now will be there likes of Newcastle and others going mental in the market. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So much money is going to be spent this summer…. Chelsea - New owners saying possibly £200 million transfer kitty. Spurs - Conte promised major funds, £150m cash injection by owners confirmed. Newcastle obviously. Man Utd - new manager rebuild. Man City - big spenders just because they can. One of the promoted teams will try and spend £100m to stay up. Liverpool trying to catch Man City. Everyone else will spend around £50m just to keep up and stand still. I think prices will go crazy near the end of the transfer window. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m staggered we got Kamara but we stole a march on others but generally the players they look at only want Champions League football or a club like Man U. Our competition is more the Newcastle, West Ham’s of the world, how that will affect prices, who knows! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have managed to get Kamara and Carlos by being the first out of the gate and then letting the king of the living room Gerrard work his magic and sell the project. We will get priced out of some deals going forward i am sure , but so far i thinknwe have seen that our recruitment team is very persuasive . Far more than ever before 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spending large parts of the budget on one super striker feels a bit outdated imo, better to have more players contribute. Makes the team less vulnerable too. Man U was the only top 6 club where the top scorer was a traditional centre forward this season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
