I still think we'll sign Guendouzi so not sure we have room for two new CMs but sounds an interesting player although Turks are a bit hit and miss in the premier league. I see him as a more offensive option to Luiz and he has a decent delivery on him. A good knack of scoring too. He’d give us some options in the middle I think to change things up depending on the opposition. Obviously Guendouzi could do this too but I’d prefer Kokcu in the middle and a Guendouzi type signing for the RM slot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their performances are the type that if they didn't play for us we'd be saying to go buy them! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRO Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 10 hours ago, paul514 said: My understanding is both AWB and Dalot are out of contract in a year. They are going to have to sign one of them on a new deal and bring a new right back in. Odds are that contract will be given to Dallo as he can play the managers way IMO. The wages will doubtless be 100k or more the price would definitely be sub 30m maybe around the 20m mark. As far as defensive right backs go, I would put him up there with the very best around in football, but most people don't want a defensive right back they want a James or Hakimi. For me he is definatly worth the money edit - 'Apparently' his wage is 90k currently I do. I have never been in favour of 2 full backs tripping the light fantastic.....one yes, but not 2....I think it leaves too few in numbers with defensive Nous. I know, Liverpool do, but that's them.

El-Reacho Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 Is Guendouzi still likely to be an option given that McGinn has that particular position nailed down, is club captain, and in form of his life? If he's going to cost £50-60m he'd need to be starting. Who's position would he take? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he's going to cost £50-60m he'd need to be starting. Who's position would he take? Guendouzi makes a lot of sense. Can play either on the left side of midfield or in a central position. That means he'll be pushing Ramsey for a place and can also fill in if Kamara/Luiz can't play centrally. I've also heard £20m mooted, not sure if that's correct or not. I'd hazard a guess we'll bring in Guendouzi, two forward players (Lee Kang-In and Williams?) and a right back (Foyth?). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 Media linked to Giovani Lo Celso. Emery loves him and so on. He had him at both PSG and Villarreal so might be something in it. Or not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon we'll go all out for an elite level right winger to take Bailey's place - break transfer record to get whoever it is. It's clear we need to invest in a No.2 goal-keeper who might be a cup goal keeper or play the European games if we make it. Wonder will they pick-up an experienced keeper from Spain with a similar age and value profile to Moreno. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bro, that's like saying we should go after Haaland last summer... He's going to have all the elite clubs chasing after him. Veiga and Kvaratskhelia are going to be the two most in demand players in Europe this summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely if there’s a release clause and we meet it we’ve got a chance at least. I’d put Kvaratskhelia in a higher bracket to Veiga though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd 100% take Lo Celso if Coutinho is making an exit this summer. Would be experienced competition for Buendia/Ramsey/McGinn in the midfield.

Besides, If we qualify for Europa League then it adds to a long season, Combined with the two other cups we might want a run at and not forgetting injuries & suspensions along the way too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
