duke313 Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 Apparently, the release clause for Alberto Moleiro is €30m but will double to €60m if/when they get promoted. Barca had a deal last summer for €10m plus €15m in addons, but they couldn't finance it. Will be interesting to see if he goes for a similar amount, and if we would pay it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Steve Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 If we could negotiate say 20m euro that’s not a huge sum for the potential they have. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's encouraging that we are looking at these types of players from abroad. Often seem we miss the boat on some young players. Apart from Kamara, I can't think of the last time we signed a talented young player from abroad. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all know we arent going to sign him, We've seen this many times before. He will end up at Brighton, Man city, Chelsea or Benfica and go on to win the world cup and become a world class player whilst we stuck with 34 year old Coutinho 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gueye was 26 and Bailey 24, and already well-established players with lots of senior appearances under their belts. I'm talking more in the 19-21 bracket.

Sarr fits the bill there as does Deloufou. Great to have JJ back for Sunday. He's such a key player for us. Such a good all rounder and people forget he has highest passing accuracy of any player at the club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CVByrne Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 2 hours ago, Delphinho123 said: Moreno is quicker than Digne. Deulofeu is quicker than Buendia. We need pace. So this is positive for me! Yeah it seems the way Emery sets up his team is one Winger is played up front with the striker. Another winger is played left or right midfield. I assume it is depending on defensive abilities maybe. We then have an 8 or a 10 so like a McGinn or Buendia in the other wide midfield spot with the attacking full back behind him. It's what he did at Villareal so seems he wants to copy it here where he can attract better players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the RB is the non attacking full back. Young and Cash are good defenders. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
