Romey 1878 Posted July 24 Report Share Posted July 24 Just now, Matt Tiger said: I understand that wingers are different than outside mids, but we're almost certainly going to line up the same way with two slots available for all three. In terms of the signings we need to bring in I don;t think the distinction has any bearing. Then we don't have as many wingers as you said and signing Gnonto absolutely makes sense. You get him and then we have 4 players with different qualities, that can be used in different ways, and give us different dimensions. Signing Gnonto (or someone else) doesn't mean we won't sign a RB. We definitely want at least one full-back this summer, probably 2. But attack and creativity was our problem last season so it makes absolute sense to direct our funds there. StevO and Sev 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed on having options with different qualities, I'm just not nearly as confident as you seem to be that we'll be bringing in multiple additions after where we are now.

Why not? Lindstrom (sorry Sev, no idea how to have the o properly) is on loan, so the money from Onana is still there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because we haven't sold yet and under our current financial conditions (and yes I understand that we should be in a better place from a FFP perspective but who knows) we've spent considerably less than we've taken in on transfers each of hte past two seasons. We're ~$51m net profit so far, so I was assuming we'd spend an additional $30m or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll be looking to shift Holgate and Keane on as well, and they'll be wanting out too, so that should bring in some money. Maupay is probably looking for a club in the background as well. Those ones will probably happen later in the window. I'll be surprised if more don't go out, so I don't see it as being an either/or situation.

Our only CB cover is Keane and Holgate, so if we sell them (and frankly I think it'll be hard to sell Holgate, maybe we can get something for keane) we would need to get cb cover as well. If Gnoto deal is 20m (best case) that would leave 10m to get a first team rb (not sure we can find a suitable option for that) and then any money from holgate and keane (I think there will be little if any) to get cb cover. I'll admit these are pretty pessimistic assumptions but given how we've operated the past couple years and the lack of ownership resolution I don't think they're unreasonable.

You said you wanted us to bring in a CB earlier, so we'd have to get rid of at least one of Holgate and Keane anyway. So why is that now a problem? It wouldn't leave £10m for a RB anyway because of how it all works, but we have been linked with one for under £10m. Please get Big Willy's name right or my head might explode .

RuffRob Posted July 24 Author Report Share Posted July 24 https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jesper-lindstrom/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/513245 If you look at his 'position played' plan - he looks versitle, might not be that great at some of them, but managers have trusted him enough to use him more than one or twice in many of them. Should have fairly rounded game. Sev 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
