thabucks Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 I wonder if Guendouzi could still be an option, Marseille reportedly want shot of him, and depending on The Donks future could be a great addition to the squad… Quote L’Équipe have now revealed that Marseille have commissioned agents to find him a new club. He is considered a saleable asset by Pablo Longoria, and due to the fact that Marseille have five midfielders for just two starting positions, Guendouzi is seen as expendable. Guendouzi is still appreciated in England. West Ham United and Aston Villa are long-term admirers and Marseille are therefore still confident of a sale in August. https://www.getfootballnewsfrance.com/2023/marseille-step-up-attempts-to-sell-matteo-guendouzi/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also he will come in for a large transfer fee and wage and Im not sure we have enough financial headroom to have another big salary to pay, without reducing the wage bill beforehand.

barry'sboots Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 The only obvious hole in our squad at the minute is RB where we only have one recognised RB but arguably two who could cover, especially if Emery wants to play a lot with the three CBs in possession. However, there are a number of places we could do with squad upgrades if (1) we really want to push on all 4 fronts and still want to target CL; and (2) we can get the incumbent moved on: We could do with upgrading Olsen with a footballing back up GK. I think everyone would agree with this although UE seems happy enough/is saying otherwise. I doubt anyone has seen much of the young Utd keeper we are being linked with? Whilst Dendonker seemed pretty good cover to me at the back end of last season, his progression stats are poor and I think there are options to upgrade, e.g. Adams or Zakaria, with a relatively low net spend. Not sure any of us know how close Tim is to filling this void or whether he needs another loan? A quality replacement for Bailey - if the Saudis are interested - would also be great. Someone like Torres or Johnson could also play "9" if needed. Also others that would ideally be cleared out to make headroom/reduce the net spend - Chambers (if we get a RB); Davis and Coutinho and even some of the youngsters like Aaron - which seems like the current focus/an important job.

Delphinho123 Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 Guendouzi at the right price would be a good pick up if we move Dendoncker on. I'm talking £15-20m tops. He seems reasonably versatile and may even be able to play that LM role? Not sure. A lot depends on how much Marseilles are asking for. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can play right wing and a holding midfielder and a hybrid role behind the striker. Got some versatility but certainly someone I think we could get for under £30-35m easily.

I see Guendouzi as an 8 (from what I know of him) and think we have an abundance of them - Luiz, Tielemans, JJ and SJM - and, as such, I don't see why we'd put more budget (fee and wages) into him?

GingerCollins29 Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 Priority is another attacker for me. Someone who can play predominatly on the wing or a SS. Preferably they could fill in for ollie when needed. We have diaby, bailey, traore. Bailey and traore are nowhere near good enough. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we only are looking at another addition, we'll probably go for a striker if Emery doesn't think Archer is ready yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWARLEY2 Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 Guendouzi was linked in Jan. When he hadnt seen the best of JJ and before we got the chance to get Tielemans . I would have guessed that this ship has sailed now but if not then bring it on ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
