When you’re asked to play that high up and isolated it’s always going to be difficult. They definitely targeted him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 (edited) An ideal signing if we could get just ONE more, would probably be another Kamara esque ( But more physically imposing? ) player. Let's say a CM / CDM / CB hybrid who is pretty much an 8 rating in all those positions. Edited August 15, 2022 by JAMAICAN-VILLAN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree totally we need to complement the kamara signing, it's vital the midfield is strengthened, sanson cannot get a break he would be that guy imo so guess Gerrard will need to sign another instead. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheltenham_villa Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 I'd love us to get Eze from Palace. Would be an upgrade on Ramsey and massively improve our midfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe waiting to see whether Bayern pony up the cash for Laimer? Would be an end of the window signing in that case, and I think SG said some players we were after might only be gettable then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Griffin Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 1 hour ago, MaVilla said: Something that crossed my mind more than once, just imagine if we made some different choices in the transfer market over the last 3 years, ie: Didnt buy: Traore - 16m El Ghazi - 8m Trezeguet - 9m Jota - 4m Samatta - 9m Total - 46m Did buy: Raphinha - 16m Eze - 16m Bowen - 19m Total - 51m Add Buendia to that list, and we would have had some AM/forward four lol. (before anyone wets their pants, ye i know its hypothetical etc etc and its impossible to be right 100% of the time) I get what u are saying but we may not be in the Premier League and may not have had the opportunity to buy those players. We needed ElGhazi and Trez to win promotion and particularly so El Ghazi. Then in our first year up, we would not have survived without the goals from Trez. It is not just about getting the right players, we need the right players at the right time for our club 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not convinced they're going to sanction additional signings if we aren't good enough to challenge for Europe yet and with the renovations starting next season. They may want to tighten the purse, even with Carlos going down. Our remaining CBs are good enough and the owners know it. My gut tells me any moves this window will be outgoing only. That doesn't make sense, otherwise they wouldn't have spent 26m on a new CB Edited August 15, 2022 by Peter Griffin Fixed a typo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacketspuds Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 Wolves getting Matheus Nunes for £38m. Would have been perfect for our midfield and would be a huge upgrade on our existing CM's. Ross Barkley it is then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaszk Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 We have to try and get in ahead of this. Would be a huge blow to see Guimaraes and Nunes to rivals inside two windows. There's a very few players of this level around we can sign. Can't believe it's under £60m. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It certainly feels that way. Kamara is class, but their CM options of Neves, Moutinho and, if signed, Nunes will be significantly better than Ramsey, McGinn and Luiz. Unless we can convince them to sell Neves to us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
