pangy Posted 24 June, 2016 Share Posted 24 June, 2016 Grzegorz Krychowiak all day long Unrealistic I know,but if West Ham can offer £40m for Lacazette & Leicester £25m for Deeney, a £25-£30m bid for a class player like that is not beyond the realms of possibility Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UpweySaint Posted 24 June, 2016 Share Posted 24 June, 2016 If we are committed to youth then we already have Victors replacement. Reductio ad absurdum .... Yes we are committed to developing young players but that does not mean an entire team coming through the academy. We all know a replacement for Victor will likely have to be found outside the club.

Doctoroncall Posted 24 June, 2016 Share Posted 24 June, 2016 Much depends on what the club think and expect from Clasie and Reed if a replacement is bought. They will partner Romeu.

Saint Garrett Posted 24 June, 2016 Share Posted 24 June, 2016 Reed/JWP/Davis/Clasie are a no go because they're too small. Romeu could do a job short term but not sure he is the answer. Sure we have a few lined up, shame about Krychowiak as he'd be perfect, but think we all knew he'd be too ambitious for us. Idrissa Gueye, Ignacio Camacho, Christoph Kramer, Axel Witsel?

EBS1980 Posted 24 June, 2016 Share Posted 24 June, 2016 We don't have anyone to replace VW, not like for like anyway. I expect what will happen in Mane will be sold and then a new manager appointed. He will be given the sale money from both to then go and improve the squad. Lose 2 and replace with 4 i imagine. We seem to go along the lines of having a stronger squad but no superstar players. We turn them into £20M+ players and then sell. Then the process is repeated. I expect us to pick up a few 18yrs and under players this summer to improve our youth set up with the aim of bringing them through in a year or two.

doddisalegend Posted 24 June, 2016 Share Posted 24 June, 2016 (edited) If the rumours are true about Morgan being told he has no future at Man U I think the club should pull out all the stops to get him back here.

saint1977 Posted 24 June, 2016 Share Posted 24 June, 2016 Done his ACL or broken his leg hasn't he? Was a pretty nasty injury, but I can't quite remember exactly what it was. That was Ryan Seager, who was on loan at Crewe. All for playing young players but current crop are different proposition to Shaw and that crop. Anyone that says we won't need to buy to replace Victor needs certifying (or thought Lowe and Wilde's experiment would end well) and seem to remember the club saying they were seeking a replacement thankfully. Hope the mention on the Telegraph small transfer budget isn't true though, especially with the new TV deal. Would expect to see a decent budget but not OTT or anything that puts the club at risk. Some of the messaging out of the club via the press and the low-name new manager are a concern though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Durman Posted 25 June, 2016 Author Share Posted 25 June, 2016 The point I'm trying to make is that Koeman is criticised for not playing the youth, but some of our senior players have very big shoes to fill and I don't see the youth quality.

angelman Posted 25 June, 2016 Share Posted 25 June, 2016 It is justified. Harry Reed made the squad 7 times, with one 10 min sub in at Norwich. Or Ryan Seager - last season on the bench twice a step back from the season before where he was on the bench twice and a third match he managed 1 minute. And that's about it. Not even a pretence or giving them a feel of the first team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tajjuk Posted 25 June, 2016 Share Posted 25 June, 2016 If Morgan is surplus then I'd pay £20 million to get him back, if the only other interested suitors are Everton we'd surely be able to attract him back here over them. Others maybe William Carvalho, might be out of league but worth a go and his other Portugal team mate Danilo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JWP and Targett perhaps being the exception. Agreed. In previous seasons, Academy players coming into the first team was more of a necessity. Lallana earned his spurs over a period of several seasons. Luke Shaw's choice ahead of Fox was a no-brainer. Chambers took his chance when Clyne was out injured and Sam Gallagher was in when we had a injury crisis up top. For much of last season, almost all of the first team, and most of the bench had international experience at some level....whilst both of the youth sides had devastating injury crisis which took time to resolve, and although we saw a few new prospects, I didn't think any of them was anywhere near replacing a first team regular.
