So we can nearly now start to dream of mega signings in the summer. But for me I’m interested in what realistic signings we make. Phillips from Leeds- possibly. Lamptey from Brighton- yes Dan Ashworth connection Martin Terrier Rennes.
Think Phillips from Leeds is far more realistic than Lamptey from Brighton. However both have had bad injuries in recent times. I reckon our midfield 3 next year will be Paquetta/Joelinton/Bruno. If ASM can pull his finger out his ass we could be looking at a front 3 of ASM/Sarr/Nunez which could be a lot of fun to watch. Unfortunately I see our defence looking something like Alphonso Davies/Matthijs de Ligt/ Jamal Lascelles/ Trippier I could see Keppa rocking up in nets too.
Don't suppose your contact has heard anything about us possibly being interested in Eddie Howe becoming manager yet has he?
I'm going to guess what he's heard...... The gardening leave is due to end in September. Brighton want £5m and haven't budged but may soon accept £2m for the sake of releasing him early come the end of the season. Will also hazard a guess he's heard a new CEO will be announced quite probably by the end of this month too.
It’s actually not far off actually. Part of the reason Brighton are digging their heels in is because it was him who tipped us off about Dan burn. The club where waiting for confirmation of our PL status before negotiating a deal to release him from the clause.
I think once the objective becomes trying to be the biggest club in the galaxy players start wanting to be here.
