Not many to be fair but I don't know about most clubs to be fair. I can think of Lingaard, Rashford, McTominay at Man U off the top of my head though
Defo all came through their youth system. Rashford and Lingard are McTominay is playing for Ireland but might be like Dummy for us playing for Wales?
I suspect maia was to be signed only if we lost hayden today Pretty sure that concludes our business .. I wish wed kept rondon and perez ... we would have a premier league bench at last
Joelinton for Rondon - remains to be seen if its a good swap but certainly more longevity ASM for Perez - Get the feeling it'll be very like for like, ASM will get more assist but not as many goals Carroll for Joselu - upgrade but depends on if Carroll can stay fit but in cup games I know who I'd rather Willems in for Lazaar - massive upgrade Krafth in for whoever leaves I assume - remains to be seen.
Bordeaux supposedly desperate for cash, so if Murphy and Aarons are shipped out I can maybe see this happening late.
Probably better than them both put together - if we got this one in I think we've had a decent window
12 months ago, Newcastle were quoted £30m for Chelsea’s Kenedy. Today, the Brazilian looks set to join Reading on a season long loan – a club which finished 20th in the Championship last season.
Good be miles wide here but if Carroll signs, does he need a squad number - i.e as part of the 25 man squad? The reason I ask is that he's homegrown (through our own Academy) although I realise he is over 21 years old. Not sure!
Yes he will need to be registered - only players U21 need not be registered - same with Longstaff this year, both will take up a squad space. Both along with Dummett and another homegrown player will be vital though when we win the league and qualify for the Champions league next year as you need 4 players who have come through your youth academy (been registered with the club since 18) in the 25 man registered squad for the CL - maybe why we are keeping Aarons around?
