All for it tbh - Howe knows him well, he's a good CB - he's at City! Better than what we have and if we pay £50m for him it's because the owners and Howe have signed off on it. Or another way of looking at it - is he twice as good as Chris Wood?
He is defo better than most of our defenders and the Howe connection may work. But 50m is a hell of a lot. They paid 40m for him and I don’t think he has played that much. But I would defo take him 100%!
Add Diaby to the of delusional fan expectations this summer Keep saying it.. Nunez Paqueta Diaby? Forget it. Think the next category down at best... Such is still good
Well he sure as feck ain't a City regular, ams he aint a huge improvement, but he one of Howe's old buddies, so he might want him. Hardly feckin Botman though. Still favourites for DCL, Toney, Ward-Prowse and Paqueta, but we've slipped down in thr Nunez odds.
Look at the top 100 transfers of all time. https://www.goal.com/en-gb/amp/news/100-most-expensive-football-transfers-all-time/ikr3oojohla51fh9adq3qkwpu 60m gbp is 72m in euros. Which would make him the 35th most expensive player ever. It’s not happening at those prices.
You seem to forget that if you also took the top 100 clubs in history and added them all together they still wouldn't come close to having our wealth
True but FFP blocks that unlimited wealth that Man City and Chelsea had. I don’t want us to blast money left and right. I want it done right.
That’s about right. 250m and then the rest comes from commercial deals. We can still challenge too 8 in a couple of years time.
Grealish 6th most expensive player ever lol. And Lukrapu just behind him. And also mega flop Dembele up there and Harry Maguire. Although the worst by far is Neymar at the top! These are the very definition of "marquee signings" who big clubs signed at the time there was a buzz about them, regardless of how they'd fit in the team. Much happier with an "unknown" like Guimaraes.
DCL, Toney and Ward-Prowse will all be too expensive. Paqueta "not a priority" and we probably never had a hope of getting Nunez anyway. We'll see. Worse case scenario they stick with Nickson picks and we have another season of mid-table mediocrity. I maintain we need 6 players to push up the table next year. Centre forward, Right 'wing', Centre Back, Left Back, Goalkeeper and Centre Mid. GK: Newbie / Dubravka RB: Trippier / Krafth LB: Newbie / Dummett CB: Schar / Lascelles CB: Newbie / Burn DCM: Bruno / Shelvey RCM: Willock / Longstaff LCM: Joelinton / Newbie RWF: Newbie / Almiron LWF: ASM / Fraser CF: Newbie / Wilson Even then, you've got some crap near the first team, names I've put in italics. You'll need a third goalkeeper as backup, of course. Manq as a utility full back might be useful. Rest should come from younger players and reserves.
Exactly mate. I mean it's from the horses mouth... The best most reliable source possible. That's actually a large amount to try and get the club kick started over 3 seasons. There's no helping some of our fans because they simply will not listen... The club and manager has told them repeatedly and they keep expecting 60 million players in our 1st window.
