Best of the non-promoted Championship sides will always be a strategy I'd support us going for.

Rebel Posted 11 May, 2022 Share Posted 11 May, 2022 6 hours ago, Turkish said: any particular reason why they have to be right footed? maybe we don't need a right footed CB - just someone who can play on the right of the back two - and someone who can partner Salisu effectively. Probably more importantly they need to be vocal and be a leader on the pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rebel Posted 11 May, 2022 Share Posted 11 May, 2022 6 hours ago, John B said: I do not disagree with you at all but how much will that cost and does the club have a budget for it In the 2021 summer transfer window we got in A Armstrong Peraud Tino Lynaco for about £30 m and they hardly contributed to a successful season although loaning in Broja did to some extent probably a lot more than the club have to spend I would guess - but I think its what the they need to do if they want to improve the team and change the clubs downward momentum its probably £15M-20M per player at minimum - and I guess you could sell some of the current squad (Redmond, Bednarek, Elyounoussi) to raise some cash to improve the quality of the squad it all leads to the question should we sell JWP if it means we get £40-60M to invest back in to the squad 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkSFC Posted 11 May, 2022 Share Posted 11 May, 2022 1 hour ago, Charlie Wayman said: Which planet did you say you were from? 3 out, 2 in max. is probably the most optimistic outcome of the summer transfer market that can be expected. The rest stay either because nobody wants them or we can't afford to terminate contracts. We need to keep at least 11 players on our books to meet PL obligations. Congratulations on your pessimism and lack of understanding between an opinion of what needs to happen and should happen versus the likely reality which I never guessed at specifically. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
le_tiss Posted 11 May, 2022 Share Posted 11 May, 2022 For all the people hoping for Lingard (probably not many) Quote Lingard has priced himself out of a move to Newcastle apparently, wants £150,000 a week and a big signing bonus. Presume he’ll go abroad now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keane Lewis-Potter (who we've been linked with before) has looked good on the highlights I've seen but it looks like West Ham are in the Bowen/Benrahma-esque hunt for their next good Championship player. It would be nice to get one over on them but, right now and I hate to say it, they're the more attractive proposition. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cat Posted 11 May, 2022 Share Posted 11 May, 2022 This is third hand information, but originates from someone who works for the club. Ward Prowse definitely wants to stay next season.

FarehamSaintJames Posted 12 May, 2022 Share Posted 12 May, 2022 I’d take Mukiele of RBL, apparently available for £10m this summer. Ship Bednarek off to whatever team wants him. The Raphina debate is a bit pointless really, 99% of people would take him. But it’s the equivalent of saying I’d take Saka, or Rice, or Ronaldo 🤷🏻♂️ Out of our league.
