Indigo Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 I think as back-up strikers go Iheanacho is a good shout. His ratio of minutes to goals is actually quite impressive, he's just been stuck for too long behind an increasingly past it Vardy in the pecking order, for which I'd probably blame Leicester for more than him. There's talk of Palace getting him in as a starter for £8-10 million, they could do a lot worse and so could Villa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knutserov13 Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 I like Icheanacho, as a cover for Ollie in PL and as a starter/rotation i Europe he'll be fine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On 90k a week I think which is a lot for bench striker but not my money 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They might sign some big names, but can they keep them? Horrible move either way, I always assumed the clause was meant for Champions League clubs, hence why we wouldn’t be bidding etc. They're going to be hard to move on after the $$$$$$$ salaries, private 747s and fleets of supercars. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hank Scorpio Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 I still think 1 more player at full back and that's it. We have Zaniolo and Traore to come back in so maybe the club are happy in that area given the current climate of costs. If Digne does go definitely need a full back.

I think we have more ambition than that… doing “ok” and “settling”… I don’t think that’s what Unai wants… To achieve great things this season, we need a better squad and possibly a better team… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clubs having to spend more money to try and counteract the effects of losing key players too… Another/additional reason why having a deep and high quality squad is necessary to have some form of success… Enciso at Brighton has just suffered an injury to his left knee… I think players who have doubts about themselves or ending their careers go for the money. The ones who rate themselves, like Bellingham can do both career and Money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’re working… Monchi is a busy boy… All I can really say is go back and look at Unai and Monchi’s comments… (I don’t want to keep repeating them) we are not relaxed or sitting still… Recent outgoing deals are setting us up for further incomings, I’m sure of it. A lot of activity is done toward or at the end of window… it’s usually the case no matter how much clubs would like to avoid it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quality over quantity Oh of course not… I agree… and I’m happy about that too. We’re not just going to sign anyone, they have to fit in, high quality, have value and potential, suit our style and system etc. That doesn’t rule out several new signings though that make us stronger Unai (and Monchi) will have identified their main targets long ago but not all business can be done quickly and smoothly… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duke313 Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 Think we'll sign a full back and an attacker, that's it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zab6359 Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 In the greater scheme of things the bench last night was a bit lightweight due to injuries add JJ, Ty, EMI B and Nicolò when he’s ready and it suddenly becomes very strong, pretty sure the long term injuries have made the club look at bringing in players but I don’t feel we will panic buy we’ll have targets but if we can’t bring them in on our terms we’ll wait. Also wonder if those long term injuries meant we needed to raise funds hence the young players we are seeing leave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
