I think Winks will be a tidy player for them. He was awful at sampdoria and didn't stand out in a woeful team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goodymatt Posted 2 July, 2023 Share Posted 2 July, 2023 (edited) We must be in with a good chance, unless there is any PL interest?

revolution saint Posted 2 July, 2023 Share Posted 2 July, 2023 We should try to sign that Isak fella from Newcastle. I think he’d be great in the championship but if they want more than 15M then we should threaten to walk away from the deal. 4 22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KWP really damaged his chances of a big move last season, for me. He was shocking at times, specifically towards the end of the season. I'd be amazed if any of the bigger prem clubs came in for him on the back of that. He'll get a move to Fulham or the like. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More importantly it would leave us with Armstrong, Mara and young Ballard as recognised strikers (if Onuachu also goes) so that's one non-prolific striker, one underwhelming striker thus far and one untested youth striker. Definitely would need a signing there, if not 2 (although I wouldn't want to block Ballard's pathway). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure I see him as a pure defensive holding midfielder, but he certainly has the quality to keep the ball and play in tight places. He's a good player at our level. whether he will be willing to drop a level is really debatable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
