Still better value than this danish bloke imo

this Danish bloke!!!.......can i just ask if you have actually watched O'Riley play? There are quite a few including myself that tend to watch Celtic games and have seen how much O'Riley stands out in the Scottish league. He is without doubt currently the best player in the Scottish league and i have no doubt would improve our side hugely.

Personally I wouldn't give you £2m. Mental is we are even remotely interested.

Off the back of this, I took a look at squads and potentially similar players in the CHO mould...stumbling block for CHO would have been his £120k wages at Chelsea. Some will undoubtedly be out of our range, but stuck them in list anyway...

Man City

Mctee
Oscar Bobb
Rico Lewis
Kabore
Perrone
Phillips

Chelsea
Bettinelli
Sanchez
Wiley
Chalobah
Bolwill
Chukwuemeka
Anjorin
Casadei
Lavia
Ugochukwu
Guiu
Fofana
Broja

Arsenal
Reiss Nelson
Nketiah

Liverpool
Doak
Bobby Clark
Bajcetic
Kelleher
Endo

Man Utd
Amad Diallo
Pellestri
Mctominay
 

You missed Carvalho. As we have seemingly bid, that perhaps reinforces that the club are going down that route of wanting that little bit more experience this time around.

GK: Dubravka (loan) 

AM: Mctee (Loan with mandatory purchase if we stay up in the mold of the THB)

ST: Nketiah £20m 

 

I'm not crazy about those three, but at least they are realistic targets. 

I presume we have made a few enquiries about keepers, but if we have, there haven't been any leaks. Maybe because they are enquiries about loans and there's no value for selling clubs leaking that info

Not seen him myself, so I'll take your word for it. No concern he might be flat track bully or struggle to make an impact when we are not dominating

For the right price he could be a good fit for us. Young but not a kid, English which we know Russ likes, played 74 times for Spurs so has decent top-level experience, and in a position we need to strengthen. Also flexible as he's a proper DM but is also very comfortable at LB. Probably considered not quite good enough to be a regular for Spurs first team, but then neither was Winks, and he's gone on to do very well. Not sure how good he is on the ball, but Spurs fans seem to think he's tidy if unspectacular and generally speak pretty well of him.

Quite hope that this one has legs, as he feels like the sort of signing that is realistic, probably not ridiculous money in terms of either transfer fee or wages, has some potential upside in terms of future value, and would actually improve our first team.

I'd take Skipp. No frills but has a bit of experience and is probably "our level". Had a decent spell at Norwich the last time they got promoted in the Championship.

wow 🤪

do look a little light at RB - lets hope they buy KWP 😉 😜

 

Done by @Holmes_and_Watson by a second!!!!

Could be a useful addition to the squad. Would probably work well alongside Downes to tighten our midfield and help protect the defence.

Maybe they could loan us Lavia. Not sure he'll start many games in that squad.

we spent more than that though, the £75m was just what we spent on young players, that doesn't even include Bella=-Kotchap who was also 20 and played most of his football in the Budesliga 2, but at least he contributed even if his attitude is questionable. 

the difference between 14/15 and 22/23 was we signed good, experienced players who went straight into the first team. Bertrand, Tadic, Long, Forster, Pelle, Mane, Alderwierld on loan. All of them with plenty of first team football under their belts, all of them had played at international level, some of them had played in the champions league. They weren't kids who had never kicked a ball in mens football before who needed 2, 3, 4 years to develop. You can get away with one or two like that but not 5 or 6 in one window

Because £25m is next to nothing for a player with PL experience & bags of potential. Gone are the days of picking up ready made top half PL players for 10-15m. 

Yep. And  he was even getting in the chelsea side occasionally under poch ..  bags of potential there. You always pay a premium when signing off players from the big clubs (like carvalho )  I’d love us to sign broja thought he was mustard last time .

So if you can see with your own eyes that Mara is absolute dogshit and not worth wasting anymore time on, you’re supporting the wrong level of team? Because we could never, ever expect to do better than him, and it’s only fair that we should wait until he’s at least 24 before we can expect any sort of meaningful return?

Righto 👍

We're a team that attracts young talent by giving them a chance to play top level football. RM has been very complimentary about him as a young player. He's a young lad, from another country, trying to make a step up. He may not, but has he been given enough time?? 

That's your opinion...fair enough. I'd give him til Jan or loan him out, just to be sure.

Wasn't Caicedo pretty poor for them last season, thus giving Lavia a chance to start games?

Feels like slightly old news that. Turkish press reported that offer knock back a week ago and the "enough is enough, we are going for Weghorst" stuff restarted again this week.

They haven't made any bid for Weghorst. They want Onuachu.

When they stump up a genuine €8.5m deal it will be done.

I've watched a few games & yes he does stand out but the Scottish Premiership is such a poor league that it's hard to judge how well he would do in the Premier.
