Also from the Guardian today. That's four links in one article. Liverpool are believed to be willing to let Joe Gomez leave Anfield this summer and there are no shortage of suitors for the England international. Sunderland, Newcastle, Aston Villa, Everton, West Ham, Leeds, and Burnley have formed a disorderly queue for the 28-year-old who is valued at £30m. Fulham, Leeds and Sunderland are all scrambling to sign Strasbourg’s Senegalese midfielder Habib Diarra, while the two newly promoted sides in that trio of clubs are also interested in signing Celtic’s American centre-back Cameron Carter-Vickers. Millwall defender Japhet Tanganga is also wanted by Sunderland, who will have to fight off interest from Millwall’s bitter rivals Crystal Palace if they are to secure his signature.
Please bring him in the Rigg role would be so good One of my favourite players to watch last year so much so I signed him on my FM save
Yeah i'm all over this. So much energy, versatile, technically good and captained Strasbourg this season.
Aye getting squad depth at that 2-4m range is critical IMO. It's back to the idea of getting money onto the pitch. Its true we can't gamble on not having enough players to cover injuries and suspensions. However, its critical that these players who are gonna get maybe less than 1000 mins next season don't cost us too much. We can't afford to punt loads at players who don't get on the pitch. Adding players like Tanganga (and the previously mentioned Doyle) bolsters the squad for relatively small outlay. If we're spending big money it needs to be on players who are intended to play minimum 2500 mins for us next season.
Striker tax plus prem tax plus decent age tax. Really hope we avoid big striker deals entirely tbh. It's a money pit.
Risks distorting the market for everyone if one team is willing to throw silly disproportionate fees around early doors.
Even from there, we don't get guarantees. Certainly don't want us spending over £30m on one though! We'd get miles more spending the same amount on a midfielder
I think up to €20m for Matthis Abline isn't too bad or Vanat for €10-15m (Can't see them sticking to 20m)
