Not that he'd join, and he's had a few injury issues, but someone in the style of Tariq Lamptey would be good. Pacey, and can step forward with the ball.

All I am saying is 60m is silly money for him considering that only about 40 players have ever been sold for that figure or more. He is in fantastic form right now, but He is still the same man that was just a decent top half striker before that He still turns 28 in December, he isn't old but his resale value is effected from then on He would turn a very large FFP profit allowing us to spend far more than the profit amount when you consider amortisation. It shows players we are willing to sell when the big offer comes in, this is something people don't consider enough....... everyone wants to get the massive wages, play in the CL etc. We want to attract people on there way to being etc best. It’d be crazy to start next season with an unproven PL striker regardless of what their stats are. Some of the best strikers in the world have come to the premier league and flopped. There’s no way we’ll be selling a proven PL scorer to replace him with an unknown. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WHY Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 10 hours ago, paul514 said: 60m would be silly money I wouldn’t sell him for that to be honest. That feels like the going rate for a player who has got into double figures the last 3 seasons, in the hardest league in the world. Any striker we bring it will cost close to that and be a massive gamble based on strikers who have come to the PL recently. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus if it true he’s close to signing a new contract then he’s not thinking of going anywhere either because if elite clubs were after him they would’ve put feelers out already and suggested he not sign a new contract with us if he was interested surely. So I guess we’ll have more idea on his movements over the next month or so based on whether he signs the new contract that is rumoured to be close.

I would still give Young a year extension even if he won't be first choice at RB next season. If we make Europe in some capacity, He would still be useful to have due to all the games we would face next season. Playing any role he can and even 3rd choice back up to either RB or LB positions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His form has dipped but he’s good enough to be a squad player. I think he’s in need of competition though. I don’t think the club would sell - but would consider higher bids I’m sure. It’s an important area of recruitment in the summer too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I agree, and apologies if it's not clear, but I alluded to the injury, but I'm just thinking that a dynamic fullback who can move out of defence on the transition and start counters would be good. I know Unai tends to go asymmetric in terms of his full backs and have one more defensively minded, but I was just starting a convo. Perhaps I should have used Trent as a template?

His form has dipped this year, but TBF his position in Emery system has required one of the largest adjustments from his natural game. Funnily enough he was starting to really hit form just as he got injured. Him coming back to help for last few games would be very welcome in my book.

We'd be absolutely bonkers to let him go for anything less than 90-100m - he's a very important component to how we play and finding an adequate replacement would be far harder than many think. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
