I'd have thought he'd have been snapped up as he and Tielemans worked really well together. Their best two midfielders by far. I'd consider replacing Dendoncker with him and I'm a big fan of our Belgian brick wall. Am I missing something about him? He has been awful for about a season and a half. Don't know what's happened to him, rumours of a personal situation, but he has been really bad, and no where near the top defensive midfielder that he was. I would stay well clear of him 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of those three players, the latter two would not be a 'bargain' in any conceivable sense of the word. Hasn't Awoniyi scored something like 6 in his last 6 games? Not gonna be cheap.

I actually agree that Nacho would be a solid option but probably wouldn't be a massive bargain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awoniyi is decent but would be backup to Watkins, as would Iheanacho. They wouldn't ever be properly challenging him.

He's the best defensive right back in the Prem and an elite 1v1 defender. I honestly thought he would be one of our targets this summer back in ~February/March, but he's played his way into ten Hag's future plans at ManUre during the second half of last season. I'd be surprised if he left now because he's rumored to have entered contract renewal negotiations. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but Nuno can get a nice payoff and not have to manage in that crappy league now. Guy's playing 5D chess 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be a good back up for Ollie and knows the league. Got into double figures last season in a very average Forest team. Yeah I rate him too but reckon he'd cost at least £40M now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched Wan Bissaka live a few weeks ago in a friendly and he was really poor technically and his passing was terrible. Really don't rate him.

Villatillidie95 Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 West Ham willing to sell Fornals for $24 million euros apparently. 27 years old so entering his peak years and always puts 100% effort in plus is pretty good at scoring….I think he would be a really good fit for our squad especially whilst buendia is out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
